Oh shush, Jake Gyllenhaal. Too bad, David Oyelowo. Sorry not sorry, Jennifer Aniston.

On this Thursday morning when the Academy Award nominees were announced, the oversight of P.J. Hairston for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role seems the most unconscionable.

Just behold the splendor of this flop the Hornets rookie guard delivered during Wednesday night’s loss to the Spurs — the physical acting that follows a light shoulder bump from Tony Parker, the emotional distress conveyed by the dramatic tumble at Gregg Popovich’s feet.

On Thursday, Hairston was fined $5,000 by the NBA, which must not appreciate art.
