What Oscar missed

Hooray for the recognition of "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp," but doesn't it just bring into bold relief the Academy's utter failure to celebrate the — yeah, I'm going to say it — visionary use of the Geto Boys' "Damn It Feels Good to be a Gangster" in Office Space?

I think it's honorary Oscar time, people.

I agree, I think "Damn It Feels Good to be a Gangster" should have won an Oscar.

A few honorary Oscars:
Radha Mitchell in "Melinda and Melinda"

Kevin Costner and Joan Allen in "The Upside of Anger"

Michelle Yeoh in "Memoirs of a Geisha"

Comedy awards would be nice for actors like Steve Caroll that won't get an Oscar unless they do something really serious.

And some kind of award for Jon Stewart would be nice for his excellent hosting skills.
