Kirk Lazarus for Best Supporting Actor


Oscar season is almost here, kiddies! And you know what that means-- "For Your Consideration" Ads. For those of you who aren't familiar with the Oscar nomination process, it's simple. A studio must take out "For Your Consideration" ads for whatever actor, film, whatever they want to be nominated for an Acadamy Award. Then, only after the ads are reviewed are the actual films reviewed. Finally, nominations are decided and announced.

Recently, DreamWorks pictures released two "For Your Consideration" ads promoting fake actor Kirk Lazarus (Robert Downey Jr.) for Best Supporting Actor. And they are effin' hilarious.

Here's the link to watch the 30 second ads:

This is all pretty funny considering that rumor is that Robert Downey Jr. is going to recieve an Oscar nom for his role as Kirk Lazarus as Lincoln Osiris in Tropic Thunder. Confusing, huh?
