How The Oscar Nominations Should Have Gone Down

As many of you are aware, the Academy of Motion Picture Sciences And Other Pretentious Ass Shit revealed their nominations last week. And many (and I stress many) people out there are angry over the sheer amount of snubs on this year's list.

So, being the generous blogger that I am, I have decided to heal the wounds of the film nation by providing you all with my take on how the Oscar nominations should have gone down. Sure, it won't make up for the horrible crime that was the snubbing of Maggie Gyllenhaal for Best Supporting Actress, but it'll have to do.
