Kudos to cdude9590 on Twitter for sending this video along. As a reaction to the unexpected omission of Chris Nolan as a Best Director Oscar nominee, I expected it to go one way, and then it went another way, and I was pleased.

I wish I was clever enough to think up that video.

Am I a terrible person if the only way I could think of making this video would be Nolan performing sexual favors for members of the Academy, and at one point uttering the words "we need to go deeper?"

@sissylion:  Clearly, the answer is yes. :)

The guy looks like a young Glenn Beck...and apparently is just as nuts.

I wonder if this video was edited or if it was a single take.  I am thinking edited, but if it wasn't this proves that tops can spin for a long ass time.

That was really good.But why would he shoot himself into limbo?

I know they included those tops in that super-limited edition of the Blu-Ray, but I would've loved it if they specifically engineered them to never fall down.

How much longer before we get a "Hitler is pissed off at Nolan Oscar snub?"

The only disappointing part about this video is not seeing the top fall over after hearing the gun shot. Have yet to see anyone make a video where that happens. That aside, perfect reaction video.

I was thinking he should have pulled out a top AND a gun..but then it was all paid of in the end.

That's really annoying that the Academy snubbed Nolan and nominated the Coens instead. True Grit is a fantastic movie but they already won one and it was a better western

The only thing worse than the Oscars is people who still think they matter. And Paedophilia.

So, you think the collectors edition of Inception would have been better if it included magic? well, that goes for pretty much everything, really.
