The Seven Reasons We Thought Matthew McConaughey Might Never Get An Oscar Nod

The wonderfully talented and quite brilliant Matthew McConaughey has been nominated for an Oscar for his turn in Dallas Buyer's Club where he plays hustler, Ron Woodroof. When he discovers he is HIV Positive, Ron tries to prolong his life for as long as possible, which also ends up helping hundreds of others. Now, don't get us wrong here. McConaughey is a great actor and even though he has appeared in quite a few rom-coms, we still love pretty much everything he has appeared in over the years. Yes, even the bad ones. However, if someone had said to us two years ago that he would have received an Oscar nomination, we would have been just a little skeptical. Here are seven reasons why we would be that skeptical. 1. The Posters. Matthew is certainly a fan of the "lean." The brilliant lean. 2. Taking his top off. He likes to take his top off... quite a lot. Quite famously! Even in stripper movies. We're fine with this by the way. Just fine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYMJXLIVtYY 3. He's so vain. He probably thinks this piece is about him... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zahlMAwHrsM 4. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. This was interesting, wasn't it? Horror classic right there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkS4dQhGDrc 5. Fool's Gold That is all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EElmapouc0c 6. Dirk Pitt We love you Matthew but we're not sure we could ever accept you being called Dirk Pitt. We're pretty sure Dirk Pitt would never win an Oscar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvA4Tbjk8tk 7. Family Guy Family Guy had a few things to say. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQnZIdl5wsc They're probably eating their words now... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNr5yahREEU
