Oscars Open Thread… Featuring The Badass Alternative Oscars Winners!
Well, we've all weighed in plenty on the best of the rest for the Oscars this year, and thanks very much to all you BAD guys for voting. This was fun, right? I had fun.
See all of the Badass Digest Alternate Oscar nominees and winners below - including the just announced winner for Alternate Best Picture! - and then grab yourself a glass of something frosty or bubbly and stick around in the comments to offer your righteous indignation, cheerful satisfaction or existential indifference during this year's Academy Awards.
And since we won't be doing a live blog, embedded at the bottom of the post is a Twitter widget that will collect all tweets hashtagged #badoscars. We'll all be tweeting with that, and we invite you to join in!
