After a couple of high-profile box-office weekends, this one was just plain old boring. Thing are going to be lively enough come Wednesday, though, so don’t feel too bad for all those ticket sellers and popcorn slingers.

Oscar to Begin Honoring Ten Best Picture Nominees
by Honk Mahfah on Jun.24, 2009, under Movies
According to Variety, the Oscars will, beginning in 2010, begin nominating ten movies for Best Picture. This will be the first time since 1943 that the Academy has nominated that many films for its top prize; that year’s winner was Casablanca.
The move toward more nominess seems to be specifically engineered to include more popular films, and, I suspect, to boost ratings for the telecast of the show.
So, what box-office champs will benefit from the decision this year? Could we be looking at the first-ever Best Picture-nominated Star Trek movie? Or could Pixar finally get their due? I’ll go ahead and put my bet on The Hangover, and I make to you this promise: if Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is nominated for Best Picture, I will never watch the Oscars again.

You know, like the movie The Hangover! Is big hit! You like!

The Hangover spends a second consecutive weekend at the number one spot, barely staving off a blockbuster opening by Eddie Murphy’s Imagine That.
To find out which part of that is bullshit, keep reading.

Who won the weekend? Was it Will Ferrell, Ed Asner, or Mike Tyson?
Here’s a hint: it wasn’t Will Ferrell.
