10 Underdogs We're Rooting For At The Oscars

10. Jackass: Bad Grandpa (Best Makeup & Hairstyling)

I had nothing but a giant smirk on my face when it was announced that Jackass: Bad Grandpa was an Oscar nominee: you just know that for any future Jackass productions, the marketing department are going to make mention of "the Oscar-nominated Jackass team" in trailers and posters, and why not? Further to that point, wouldn't it add to the hilarity if the movie ended up winning the Oscar outright: the movie which features a guy getting his junk stuck in a vending machine... The Makeup & Hairstyling field only has three nominees this year, so it has to contend with just The Lone Ranger and Dallas Buyers Club, though the latter pretty much has this category won, and rightly so. Still, the thought of Johnny Knoxville cracking up to himself as his movie scoops one of the biggest awards in the industry fills me with all sorts of joy.
