‘High School Musical 3: Senior Year’ = Best Picture?
The industrious kids at Oh No They Didn’t! have compiled a bunch of For Your Consideration ad posters that will be published in the hallowed Hollywood magazine Daily Variety meant to suggest Oscar nominations for various categories to members of the Motion Picture Academy. This year’s batch of For Your Consideration ads are pretty standard (I really love the WALL•E and Batman: The Dark Knight ads) but one in particular caught my eye:
LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!! The folks at Disney CANNOT be serious, right? This HAS to be some sort of joke … RIGHT?! They don’t really think that High School Musical 3: Senior Year is worthy of a Best Picture nomination … RIGHT?!?!?! LOL! I mean … what? Words fail.

OMG LOLS. oscar-worthy? not even razzies worthy!
November 23rd, 2008 at 2:28 pm
no. hsm 3 better not win an oscar. IT BETTER NOT. it better not even be nominated.
November 23rd, 2008 at 2:45 pm
HA! It won’t even be considered for best song, they are just so corny.
November 23rd, 2008 at 2:52 pm
This really just brightened my day. I haven’t heard such a good joke in a long time ; )
November 23rd, 2008 at 3:28 pm
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA yeah, I REALLY hope they’re just kidding too … … that would be REALLY sad if they’re serious for ANY nominations for HSM.

A sure sign of Judgement Day if that movie even gets nominated…
November 23rd, 2008 at 4:35 pm
LOL that’s so pathetic. I tried to watch 5 minutes of the first one and wanted to blast my brains out. It is pure torture. If this even gets NOMINATED I will be outraged!

Those folks have collected a huge amount of adverts for the Oscars, but what one of the commentators said rings true for HSM3. “GTFO!” :)

I actually loved this movie. PITNB is definitely not its target audience. The movie is well made.
November 23rd, 2008 at 8:56 pm
The movie was great. It definitely is not for everyone, but it was very well done. Visually stunning, excellent singing and dancing. I’m not saying it will be nominated or win, but I don’t think it’s laughable that it would be considered.

this really is a joke.seriously.it was boring

Ha. Ha. Ha. Haha. The ‘Alvin and the Chipmunks’ sequal? Hardly.

Definitely not worthy of a best picture nomination, but i think one of the songs could be nominated for a best song
November 24th, 2008 at 2:47 am
it actually was very well-made although IMO definitely not oscar-worthy. as for the songs, with regards to its target audience, of course it could be considered. the movie had a great soundtrack.

I don’t know why you think this is a joke but I think it is very insensitive because there are people who actually like the movie and think it is worthy of a nomination.

If HSM gets an Oscar then Heidi should get her Grammy!!
November 24th, 2008 at 10:10 am
has anyone studied film at all? this movie screams “NO! NOOOOOOO!”
November 24th, 2008 at 10:40 am
on a side note, i totally own that dress she is wearing in the screen cap above! and i’m not a teenager!! whoops

Is that galloping I hear? Why yes, it’s the Third Horseman of the Apocalypse.
(If HSM 3 actually gets a nom, look out for the Fourth…)
November 24th, 2008 at 4:46 pm
BOoooooooOOOO
November 25th, 2008 at 1:11 am
EPIC FAIL! Nuff said.

Im not saying its worthy of a nomination but in the last few years the Oscars havent been watched that much…if they nominated a popular movie there would be more people watching the telecast. Because the Oscars arent about the awards- no matter what actors might say- its about the show. If it were about the awards it wouldnt need to be televised.

Years ago Entertainment Weekly did a story on unlikely Oscar consideration ads (i.e. Die Another Day for Best Picture, Best Actor, and more). They’re actually more common than we think– although HSM 3 is an amusing example, to be sure. I remember someone quoted in the story: “Often times studios are contractually obligated to publish these ads.”
