I came across this image over at The Envelope today and it made me laugh out loud.  Of course, anyone who's flipping through the channels at one in the morning is bound to come across reruns of "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air."  Mr. Smith's former gig will never leave the collective consciousness.  But suddenly I remembered that last year, not only was The Fresh Prince nominated in the Best Actor category for "The Pursuit of Happyness," but Marky Mark landed Best Supporting Actor honors, rising to the top of "The Departed"'s funky bunch.

Surreal.

It isn't out of bounds to think we may one day see Lil' Jon nominated for Best Actor in a remake of "The Defiant Ones," at this rate.  Of course he'll be going by his given name, Jonathan Smith, by then, perhaps have a few Paul Haggis collaborations under his belt, maybe even a long-running suporting gig on "Law & Order: Seasonal Investigatory Specialists Department" that nearly yielded an Emmy nomination or two.

America, land of opportunity.  Or should that be Oscar, land of opportunity?

Anyway, yeah, slow news day...unless you're particularly interested in the Southeastern Film Critics, Dallas-Fort Worth Film Critics or the Golden Satellite Awards -- a triumverate of "No Country for Old Men" victories this morning.
