It's Time To Support A Knockout Performance

It’s Time To Support A Knockout Performance

by Michael Sullivan

It’s a common misconception that awards season is now finally over, which makes sense. Who could blame a weary Hollywood for calling it quits after the Oscars? Months of campaigning do take their toll. But there’s another major award show waiting in the wings, and this time, Academy be damned, every American has his or her vote. And thank goodness, as the MTV Movie Awards have neglected to include the rock from 127 Hours on their shortlist for Best Villain.

It’s disheartening, I know, but don’t despair! A grassroots viral campaign is underway to get the rock nominated as a write-in candidate. If you want to fight the good fight, go here, scroll to the bottom and make your voice heard. There’s no limit to the amount of times you can vote in a day, so vote as often as you care too. The rock is up against two opponents from The Twilight Saga: Eclipse and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 each — not to mention The Dude in Tron — so it needs as much help as an inanimate object could ask for.
