The always lovely and immensely cool Diablo Cody posted the above picture to her MySpace blog this morning. For those not paying attention, that is her Oscar won for Best Original Screenplay. It was the only win of the night for Juno, but easily its most deserving. Congrats Diablo — rest up.

    I don't like this...staged photo's are nothing more than fiction. I clicked this link to take in the day after thought's from perhaps the most general person in the history of mass publicised achievment awards. Instead I find, well...garbage. Take offence if you will...I mean none, but this is garbage. Maybe I'm just bored and disenchanted?

    Funny picture. Congrats.

    Staged photo, staged life. If she were fat and ugly and wrote the exact same script, we wouldn't care, and there'd be no awards.

    It's the Oscar, not a paperweight. Do you honestly think Diablo Cody (who deserved to win) is even in the top ten of most "general" persons to have been awarded the statue? This thing has been going on for 80 years. Two winners did not even show up, and countless others have come out of nowhere to win when there is no way they could have conceived of it when they were making their respective films. Ever heard of Marty? Diablo Cody should be proud of her accomplishment, and I am glad she had a little fun by having this photo taken. She does not take herself too seriously. Don't take the Oscars, Diablo, movies or yourself too seriously.

    Fun Pic! Me Notu and Ramona, what did you do after you won your Oscar in the category of "Ridiculous Blogger"?

    wow ! incredible success story and my favourite winner of sunday's oscars.
    i liked how she cried at the end of her speech when she thanked her parents about accepting her just the way she is, so emotional ! i bet all the screenwriters working inside hollywood just hit the ceiling when she won the best original screenplay oscar, because 1)she has never been to film school 2) this is her first screenplay 3)she used to be an exotic dancer.it just reminds me of last year's oscar winning performance by Jennifer hudson, btw i was just disgusted by the way Javier Bardem accepted his ocar from Jennifer, you could easily see that he is a racist.

    Does anyone have a reaonable defence of her winning? Juno was weighted down by its too-clever script, and succeeded only because of its cast.

    Staging a post-Oscar photo is nothing new, and this one is charming. Note she celebrates with cookies rather than booze. Obviously she has her head in the right place.

    The most staged post-Oscar photo was Joan Crawford's. She was a pro at PR. The night she was nominated for the Oscar (I'm fuzzy on the year), rather than be in the audience trying to be a good sport if she lost, she told them she had the flu and would not be coming. To her surprise, she won, and had them bring her Oscar to her home. A picture of her in bed with her Oscar appeared the next day in all the papers, eclipsing anyone else who won that night.

    1. There is nothing (read: NOTHING) wrong with it being a staged picture . The girl's just having a little fun. She's earned it.

    2. Juno "was weighted down by its too-clever script"??? You are weighted down by being too much of a douchebag. That's like saying Jessica Alba suffers from being too hot. Morons - you can never escape them, no matter how far out of the way you try to drive.

    Congrats to Diablo!
