Jonah Hill: Proving through his "performance" in Moneyball, that you don't actually have to "act" to be nominated for a Best Supporting Oscar. You can literally sit there and nod for 3/4 of the movie and STILL get nominated. Amazing.

I'm just afraid with his connections...he'll win. That will end the Oscars for me. I don't care whose hosting.

Hill's character in "Moneyball" is far more interesting than Brad Pitt's.

"What a stroke of luck and talent"? You gotta be kidding. I saw Money Ball. He had all the emotions from A to B.

If he had A to B, what was B? Liked the movie and I like him, but I'm amazed that he got a nomination for that.

I am also amazed. One contributing factor may be he's engaged to Dustin Hoffmans daughter.
I know..its shocking to think the Oscar nomination process may be sightly tainted..
