Jonah Hill is an Oscar nominee? Seriously?

To be fair, I’ve yet to see the film.

I don't get why people hate on Hill

He was great in Superbad and funny in everything else he’s been in. I haven’t seen Moneyball yet either, but I can’t see them casting Brad Pitt in an Aaron Sorkin penned film just to blow casting on the second lead.

I'm not hating on him

I agree with you on everything you said, actually. But Hill is a young, comic actor and the Oscars are… oh, hell, never mind.

Sorry

Just I know a lot of people who think he sucks but also like the two most popular movies he starred in, Get him to the Greek and Superbad. Generally, I think most people disliked him cause he used to be fat.

I have no problem with fatness

Some of the best actors (and comic actors) are fat. I just don’t see any funny in him beyond what the script puts there. He just seems dull. (Haven’t seen this movie.)

Hey, wait! I'm having one of those things. You know? A headache with pictures?

he's fine as like the 5th or 6th guy in the film you go to for jokes

but movies should not star him. Or maybe they need to stop making such shitty comedies that are just aimed at people who will be watching the movie while baking or drinking. Actually, both

What crap

The academy needs to get out of mom’s basement and actually watch a film or two. “Transformers 3”: that’s a movie that has a lot of RBIs that the nerds don’t understand.
