Vin Diesel Likes His Oscar Chances

Vin Diesel must have been high as a kite because he told the LA Times that he wouldn’t be surprised if there was Oscar buzz around Fast Five. Please stop laughing. Vin Diesel didn’t seem to be joking.

“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.'”

You know who would be surprised if there was Oscar talk around this? Everybody else in the world. Even Paul Walker told Vin Diesel to put the crack pipe down. Of course, he didn’t say it in those exact words. He probably put it much more eloquently like, “Bro, put the crack pipe down, bro. Bro!”
