Not as far as I know. I imagine it's some critics who saw it in Toronto and just decided to flaunt the rules (a la LA Critics in 1985 with Brazil).

[Mister Tee]

All these winners and nominees are now starting to merge into one another. Its like after a bout of overeating you want to violently vomit.

Which is why I think they only deserve this single thread, rather than 40 individual ones.
