Viggo Mortensen will not cross the picket line for Oscar

January 22nd, 2008 // 80 Comments

The Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences nominated Viggo Mortensen for Best Actor today. His role as a Russian mobster in Eastern Promises is up for the Oscar. He told the Associated Press that he will not cross the picket line if the writers strike continues:

“No, if there’s a strike I will not go but I have a feeling they’ll solve it. I hope they do. I’m sure my mom would like to see me on TV and so forth, but if there’s a strike I’m not crossing the line.”

For the record, I believe Viggo deserves an Oscar for accurately portraying how I take a shower everyday. (Really NSFW video after the jump.) Here’s hoping the writers strike is solved, so Viggo can accept his award and thank me for teaching him everything he knows. As for the facial hair, I don’t even know. Do chicks dig Civil War beards? I’ve been told I look like Ulysses S. Grant – or was it Abe Lincoln? Whichever one had solid steel abs that could stop a steam engine.

    But sadly, I must add, I’ve seen nursing home patients with nicer nekkid bodies than Viggo’s.

    Funny how so many people think because you’re an actor that you are somehow better endowed than everyone else.

    This vid proves how average most are.

    I didn’t think it was that bad….you hardly saw much more that a quick frontal. That’s not nearly what you’re able to see when a woman has a ‘naked’ scene.
    Viggo gets nominated for showing a little peen? Please!

    His dong is miniscule and the male body is anything but artistic.

    The rationale for this male-bonding sauna scene is… ?

    It doesn’t matter what Viggo will or will not do, because Daniel Day Lewis will win the Oscar. Holla.

    I can never look at him again w/o thinking of that infamous penis shower romp in Eastern Promises. Good movie, but come on…how many times do you need to show the flacid penis flopping around? Enough already!!!

    3:56 – 3:19 = 37 minutes from the time the video was posted until Jimbo finished masturbating and typed a comment. Not too shabby.

    The only reason it took Jimbo that long was because 35 of those 37 minutes were spent looking for his anal beads (which incidentally, he found in his ass) and lighting candles to set the mood.

    Ok, he hasn’t got the biggest schnozzle in the world but I bet he’d know exactly how to work it.

    Viggo is SEXY. I don’t care if the penie is teeny in this scene. I don’t think most men would have a giganto going while getting their ass kicked. And he was married to Exene.

    wow, how much would you hate to be playing the bad guys, with Viggos naked and shrivelled organs being pressed against you from many many different angles. And to then have him start grunting ontop of you like hes trying to pass a particularly difficult bowel movement while you die… thats success for you

    Cold room shrinkage maybe?

    If nothing else, the guy has the balls to let the world know it’s tiny, if that’s the case.

    Viggo is pure sex. I don’t care for the Civil War beard but I would stand in line for seconds if he were wearing a dress.
