The Oscar Rumor Mill

Well, it's that time of year again, Oscar-season. To be honest, I have no idea when Oscar season is, but for the sake of this post, it's Right Around The Corner!

Let's take a look at the Oscar hopefuls this year:

All of the Oscar buzz is revolving around critically acclaimed actor Samuel L. Jackson; Jackson is making the bid for his role in the racially progressive Lakeview Terrace. Samuel Longjohn plays a neighbor who, for seemingly no reason whatsoever, is absolutely crazy.

Jackson, who was recently seen at Bernie Mac's funeral, is celebrated for his role in establishing an African-American presence in American cinema. Sammy intends to contribute to the social push for integration by playing a crazed Black neighbor in the suburbs, paving the way for the image of upwardly mobile African-Americans, and diminishing the stereotype of African-Americans as violent and irrational.

Godspeed SLJ. What integrity.
