COYSDC Rugby Oscar Nominations 2011
Best Actor:
Or should this be over-actor? Delon Armitage going a bit crazy over a random drug test. A close second was Jimmy Cowan for the Highlanders who feigned injury until Ma’a Nonu was red carded after a big hit, just to get with a smile on his face. Cheeky.
Supporting Actor:
Any touch judge. Seriously.
Best Actress:
A tricky one this one, but in the end the winner is any footballer.
Supporting Actress:
Any other footballer who isn’t Best Actress.
Animated Feature:
Martin Johnson in the booth in any England match. Just like a supporter, only more angry.
Up. Quite simply a much better option than ‘Down’, or ‘non-mover‘ for that matter.
Cinematography:
Claire J, and the rest of our crew of snappers.
Documentary:
Will Greenwood’s mini-doc about playing for the Olney team against ON’s. Good on you fella.
Best Short:
Paul Diggin. I couldn’t resist it. The man is still as pumped up as ever and always puts this club first. He is an example to the rest of them. Shane Williams.
Foreign Language:
Welsh. To watch ‘Rygbi’ in Welsh is genius to say the least: (lots of L’s, lots of D’s...Thomas... L’s, D’s the occasional other consonant... Williams) and so on.
Makeup: Orange Gav. No competition.
Short Movie:
Again Orange Gav. Making a mockery of Sarries and himself in equal measure. Well done that man (now stay over there, we don’t want you here).
Original score:
Paul Diggin’s dive. NOT ASHTON’S!
Picture:
The picture of all our faces, home and away after the 30 metre scrum against Newcastle. Second was again Delon Armitage when he landed on his arse after JC side-stepped him.
Visual Effects:
When England came out at the Millenium Stadium. A tiny puff of smoke is all you need. Not the near apocalyptic scenes which greeted Wales’ arrival.
Writing:
I’ll leave it up to you.
