However, if I were voting, I&#8217;d give it to Jeff Bridges for &#8216;True Grit&#8217;. I&#8217;d love to see Bridges win back-to-back awards, and I&#8217;d also love to see him win an Oscar for playing the same character that John Wayne previously won the same award for. That&#8217;s not going to happen, but it sure would be fun.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an interesting exercise: When you watch &#8216;The Social Network&#8217;, try to picture Jesse Eisenberg playing Abed from &#8216;Community&#8217;. As a matter of fact, now that I&#8217;ve pointed this out, try <em>not<\/em> to picture him playing Abed from &#8216;Community&#8217;. You won&#8217;t be able to see anything else. Because that&#8217;s what he&#8217;s doing. <\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>February is Oscars Month here at The Bonus View.
