The Noffscars are back, hooray! I’m excited to find that The Master was not snubbed. My pick for best actor is of course my comedy hero Tim Heidecker in The Comedy. Movie is a tough pick; I’m torn between The Comedy, Cabin in the Woods, and The Master. I was genuinely upset that Jonny Greenwood was snubbed by the Academy for best score, so he’s definitely my pick here. Excited to find out who wins!
