Breaking News: We interrupt this program to bring you a Gladiator Movie exclusive — the YouTube clip below has been added as the 11th nominee for Best Picture at this year’s Academy Awards.

Yup, you heard the erroneous news here first.

It turns out that Fast & Furious (aka 4 Fast 4 Furious*) was not quite good enough to merit inclusion on its own. But if you remove the sound and just edit together a montage of Vin Diesel trying to look dramatic/hardcore/badass/smiley/angry/hungry/like he’s hanging out a speeding car in a v-neck over the classic, dulcet sounds of Limp Bizkit … well, ladies and gents, you have yourself a Best Picture nominee.

Congrats, Mr. Diesel.
