LA, California – The film industry is still entrenched in turmoil as the debate turns heated as to whether the Midd Kid Rap Video that premiered after the Academy Award ballots had been determined still should have been in contention for Oscars in the categories of Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Cinematography. Leading filmologist at UC Berkeley, Walter Smithington III posited the following on the matter: “When Michelangelo sculpted David do you think that all of Florence waited for a scheduled time to recognize its genius and embrace it as a significantly profound work of art? Certainly they did not, thus when we see Andrew Plumley delving into a post-Stanislovskian acting method, skillfully getting us to ignore his neutrality whilst harnessing it to truly embody the role of  ‘Nodding guy in baller-suit’ we are obliged as enlightened members of one of the most prominent artistic communities to acknowledge that the medium of cinema has been forever changed.” When asked if he thought that if it would be fair for the competing movies such as James Cameron’s Avatar and Kathryn Bigelow’s The Hurth Locker, Smithington scoffed: “3D is pretty cool but how can it at all be compared to the audacity of the shadow laden scenes which compliment so well the poetry of the famed library verse as well as the ever-compelling existentialist quandaries of Lax bros. Also I didn’t see The Hurt Locker, it looked way too intense.”

The modesty maintained by those involved in the production of Midd Kid is perhaps the most astonishing aspect of this whole brouhaha. An anonymous source related to the filming was quoted as saying: “All I’m trying to say is that award or no award – it doesn’t matter. So long as American audiences are enjoying that part where that one bro knocks that other bro’s solo cup out of his hand, that’s all that matters.”
