” ‘He’s a guy who’s unfamiliar to a lot of people and did a movie that’s really intimate,’ one high-ranking academy voter told the Ministry. ‘That was a super-brave performance but … perhaps it inspired people to fantasize, and not actually vote.’ “

This is such bullshit. The AMPAS are full of old men that don’t like to reward young “heart throbs” and give all of the best actor Oscars to Oldies. They’re afraid of penis, especially big penis that has made a name for itself. Halle Berry gets fucked over sideways/doggie style/missionary and back in Monster’s Ball to old ass Billy Bob Thorton and she wins the Oscar because the AMPAS members got to live out they’re old man fantasies. That’s also why they always reward younger actresses(Natalie Portman, Mira Sorvino, etc.) over older ones, because they have hard-ons for ingenues. But Michael is a young “heartthrob” male actor so he didn’t stand a chance. And Michelle will probably beat Meryl and Viola, because she’s younger~ and cuter~.
