It had no business being up for an Oscar.
They just gave it to Clooney becuz he’d gnaw the zits off Obama’s backside out of Love.
Michael Clayton” was a dull, TV-quality film.

Except that George Clooney was in it so it automatically gets nominated.
The studio was advertising Michael Clayton on the radio heavily in New York in the lead-up to the Oscars. Apparently some Academy members listen to NY radio. The spots were hilarious because they talked about what a wonderful movie it was and what a masterful actor George Clooney was. Interspersed with all of this were three sound clips of George Clooney in which he spoke with the same over-acted Hillary-Clinton-in-a-lower-register voice. These three clips made William Shatner sound like Sir Lawrence Olivier. I could not imagine anything more painful than listening to George Clooney going on and on like that for two hours.
I disagree.
For all the other trash, it was perfectly worthy. Fit right in!
Sadly, hollywierd’s standards have been quite off over the past few years.
Saw it on Saturday night, couldn’t agree more!
Yes it did. It was a movie made by a guy who HATES BUSH. If you HATE BUSH you get at least a nomination. That is how Julia Roberts got her OSCAR 7 years ago. She told everyone that “BUSH WAS NOT HER PRESIDENT” and that was the clincher.
She is not the only one who declared a hatred of Bush and got an Oscar or at least a nomination and she won't be the last. That is why nobody watches the program on TV anymore.
