The Scorsese
The Academy. Is there an organization on this planet with less credibility? The answer is a violently scorching no.
Only in the world of the Oscar is it possible for Halle Berry to have achieved Hollywood's greatest honor (second greatest actually, the first being bedded by Michael Caine), while legendary director Martin Scorsese has failed on mulitiple attempts.
Of course, this week, Mr. Scorsese was finally annointed, but everyone, including himself knows this Oscar was a watered down apology for not recognizing his brilliance 30 fucking years ago. Taxi Driver? Raging Bull? Good Fellas? Are you fucking kidding me?
The Scorsese is the Bad Movie Knights term that laments the Academy for being political, and correcting their past errors in judgement by awarding consolation rather than brilliant film-making, or theatrical performances. We also recognize the Academy for being a collection of assholes who should go suck a bag of dicks (thank you Louie C.K.)!
Timothy Dalton is the one true James Bond,
pat

Long overdue glossary term. I mean I don't think any example is better than Al Pacino's win. He gave excellent performances in Godfather, Raging Bull, Glengarry Glenn Ross and of course (not even nominated) Scarface and what does Pacino win for? Scent Of A Woman.
How about for instance the way Jack Palance won for City Slickers, they might as well have given it to his epic turn in Cyborg 2.
So yeah, long overdue glossary term!

Yes I can think of an organization with less credibility. The grammies. Plain and simple. The grammies jumped the shark when they gave Milli Vanilli awards.
