Oscar Decree "Thou Shalt Not Perform Cunnilingus."

Oscar Trivia!
If you want to be nominated for an Oscar there is one thing you must never do onscreen. You must not go down on a woman. Mila Kunis (Black Swan), Ryan Gosling (Blue Valentine) and Julianne Moore (The Kids Are All Right) all learned this the hard way this Oscar nom' morning. For their sins of servicing the Natalies, Michelles & Annettes of this world, they are banish-ed.

Know the sexual rules, Oscar hopefuls!

Jules: And then my tongue started working again.

Nic: We've been glued at the hip ever since.

Paul: No doubt.

Nic: Honey, you're on a whole other tangent. I have no idea what you're talking about.

Jules: Maybe it hasn't risen to the plane of consciousness for you, yet.

Nic: [Annoyed] Uh... yeah. Maybe.

God, I love these two. Don't you? And I'm not just talking about the actresses.
