Vin Diesel said he resents the idea that “Fast Five” is only a popcorn movie. The actor, not one for false modesty, said he believes the movie has a legitimate shot at an Academy Award nomination.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if there is some Oscar talk around this. I don’t know, maybe I’m just biting off what some guy from Channel 7 thought,” he said with a chuckle. “But sooner or later, people are gonna say, ‘Wait a minute, just because they are for the working class doesn’t mean they’re not great.’” [LA Times]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…. (*catches breath, attempts to collect self, mops brow with monogrammed hankie*)
Vin Diesel is right, you know. Movies about the working class always get the shaft. In fact, Colin Firth expressed much the same sentiment after starring in Death Lorrie 7, back when his name was still Sir Reginald von Fuel Injection. It wasn’t until he played a stuttering king that the Academy took notice. But someday, those old fogies are bound to loosen up, even if it takes Sinbad sleeping over at every one of their houses. Until then, Fast Five will just have to be content to collect its MTV Movie Award for “Most Come At Me, Bro,” and “Coolest Asian” for Sung Kang’s portrayal of “Han Seoul-Oh.” Oh man. I have to go lie down. I think I’ve given myself sarcasm poisoning.

I didn’t even know they awarded an Oscar for Best Performance by an Acura in a Supporting Role.
I say, the hubris of this ruffian is rather amusing!
*wears debutante gloves, rings bell to summon the servants*
Do they have a Special Academy Awards? I could see this sweeping it.
I don’t think Vin Diesel could even win a Vin Diesel lookalike contest.
I’m still plenty pissed he didn’t win a Tony for The Pacifer.
I hate it when the academy gives it to the sequel because they snubbed the original.
Fast Five getting an Oscar nod is like Katy Perry getting a Grammy.
Wait, that actually happened? Maybe all this franchise needs is more boobs.
I hope Vin’s not scheduled on AOTS this week.
I also hear they are turning Fast 5 into a Broadway musical. The title score: ‘Quarter Mile Life’ is described as “moving at the speed of NOS” . The only hang up is getting muscle cars on wire rigs above the stage, They have Julie Taymor on it, and they say she is some sort of expert in the field.
That piece of shit Crash won for best picture, why not Fast Five? Maybe Vin has a point.. maybe not. But maybe yes.
Looks like he’s been biting off more than just what that Channel 7 guy thought.
From each according to his ability, to each according to his speed?
There’s always sound editing, Trotsky. Fight the power.
Laugh all you want, but when *air guitar* wins Best Song, you’re going to feel fucking stupid, bro.
Banner: They’re here to fight. Their hairlines, not so much.
And the Oscar for the “movie most closely resembling the sensation of riding a bicycle with lots of spoke cards through the projects while white” goes to…
Oscar was the one that lived in the garbage can, right?
It’s the Mission to Moscow of Academy Awards.
I hear this movie is based on Vin’s twitter “I like my women like my seatbelts… loose….WOO-AH-AH-AH-AH #dickhelicopter” – so “Best adapted screenplay” is not totally out of the question, right?
I get that Vin might think it’s oscar worthy, but who the f*ck is the guy on channel 7 that thinks it is? Now when Tyler Perry says stuff like this, I get that he’s just biting off what somebody on TBS said.
Just a hunch but I bet the guy at channel 7 beats his wife.
Channel Seven is what Vin Diesel calls Channing Tatum. No need to make fun of his speech impediment, jerkwads!
In his defense, he was thinking of a wiener eating contest, bro.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if there is some Oscar talk around this.”
Relax eveeryone. He was talking about the hot dogs.
