Vin Diesel said he resents the idea that “Fast Five” is only a popcorn movie. The actor, not one for false modesty, said he believes the movie has a legitimate shot at an Academy Award nomination. “I wouldn’t be surprised if there is some Oscar talk around this. I don’t know, maybe I’m just biting off what some guy from Channel 7 thought,” he said with a chuckle. “But sooner or later, people are gonna say, ‘Wait a minute, just because they are for the working class doesn’t mean they’re not great.'” [LA Times]

Vin Diesel is right, you know. Movies about the working class always get the shaft. In fact, Colin Firth expressed much the same sentiment after starring in Death Lorrie 7, back when his name was still Sir Reginald von Fuel Injection. It wasn’t until he played a stuttering king that the Academy took notice. But someday, those old fogies are bound to loosen up, even if it takes Sinbad sleeping over at every one of their houses. Until then, Fast Five will just have to be content to collect its MTV Movie Award for “Most Come At Me, Bro,” and “Coolest Asian” for Sung Kang’s portrayal of “Han Seoul-Oh.” Oh man. I have to go lie down. I think I’ve given myself sarcasm poisoning.
