It will be hard for any super bowl commercial to beat this one from last year in my opinion.
So it appears my computer got completely fried during the storm. It has no power supply to even turn on. This is the reason for my lack of posts lately. I don't really have the cash to purchase a whole new system right now, so I'm working on some other creative solutions.
In the meantime all I can offer you is cute Moxie cell phone pics and videos..
Here is a good one of her tormenting Angelo the puggle. She doesn't give the poor Schmoopie a minute's rest.
I'll post more pics and videos soon!
Hope you do too
You would have to be devoid of all human emotion if you didn't get just a little choked up by this.
This is awesome and makes me want to give a big SHOUT to all the soldiers out there! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
We're making good progress administering Plum's ear drops. I no longer have to put the drops in from behind and hold her down...I can now sit on the side or in front of her and she doesn't growl or try to attack like she used to.....in fact she yawns at me now like she is giving me the big old pug version of "Wut-ever!"
I think she finally realizes who is the alpha in our pack and that the ear medicine is a just going to be a part of her regular day. This is a good thing. Especially since the Dr. just informed me that she will need to be on the antibiotic drops for the rest of her life and in addition I have to give her daily vinegar/alchohol ear flushes to kill the yeast.
What a good girl!
Thanks to Becky for sending this one along:
Meet my latest toy, the Flip. It's a tiny, paired down video recorder as sleek and small as my digital camera, only you hold it upright. Apparently in the year since its invention, it has taken 13 percent of the camcorder market according to the manufacturer, Pure Digital. This is the newest model called the Flip Ultra, available in assorted colors. Mine is pink like this one. I bought it on Amazon for $119.00 w/ free shipping. Love it because it's tiny enough to throw in my bag on the way out the door. Never know when you may get the urge to do a little filming. Easy enough to point, click and shoot in any situation.
It's a no fuss, no nonsense, bare bones recorder that basically does the job. For the price of course it is not perfect. There is no flash, no high def, no memory card and only 2X digital zoom so when you blow up the video it does get a little blurry. But, for what it is I think it rocks. You can store 60 minutes worth of digital footage, there is no complicated manual to read. You point and shoot. That is it. No annoying tapes, discs, or wires. The USB slides off the side and plugs right into your computer port. Best of all the software it comes with allows you to plug it in and upload directly to YouTube, AOL, MySpace, or email.
Here is the first clip I uploaded, it's Pugsley acting all tough like he is going to bite my hand. He doesn't scare me.
One of Pugsley's many talents is that
He is an excellent present unwrapper.
Click the Image to see Pugsley opening
One of his Christmas toys, then watch
as he tries to kill it!!

Here is Pugsley Modeling his new sweater
Last night we were playing Daisy's movie clips and I thought it would be fun to show Gwen and eveyone else Pugsley's reaction to seeing Miss Daisy....He gives her two paws up and a double-curled tail!
Sorry for the glare on my laptop but you get the idea.
Since you nice folks seemed to enjoy Pugsley's movie clips I posted in my last entry, I thought I'd show you what happens at my house when I try to make the bed. See this sweet little pug can be very stubborn and ornery when he doesn't want to do something. In this case he doesn't want to move off the bed, he would rather bite my freshly laundered sheets and get them full of pug hair.

For those of you who don't know, Pugsley watches television. I decided still shots wouldn't do it justice so if you have Windows Media File, see for yourself:

Statistics from 2008 show that PNG has over 25,000 people who are now living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA)
This was revealed by the Provincial Program Co-ordinator for Madang Provincial AIDS office, Mr. Conrad Wadunah during the Divine Word University students orientation week at the SVD Auditorium yesterday.
Mr. Wadunah told the first year students that the latest statistics from the National AIDS Council Secretariat (NACS) which are from the year 2008 showed that HIV/AIDS had over 25,000 people with HIV/AIDS.
He said: "The highest reported cases are found in Western Highlands and the National Capital District. This does not mean that HIV is more prevalent there but because more people in this two provinces are going for tests using Voluntary Counseling and Testing.
"Madang has over 310 PLWHA's and if you have young people as such one reported case of a 9 years old girl in Madang having sex and other reported case of a girl as young as 13 year old giving birth, then you have to see that HIV is a problem that does not discriminate age and gender."
Mr. Wadunah urged the news students to be proactive in the fight against HIV/AIDS in the province and one way of doing that was to join and take part in the National HIV/AIDS debate among tertiary institutions that will be taking place later in the year.
Mr. Joe Mocke, who is a senior project officer with the Tingim Laif project in Madang highlighted at the same meeting with students, that statistics from the NACS showed a trend where girls and women in the country aged between 15-39 years old acquired HIV/AIDS while the men in the age group of 40 -60 years old acquired HIV/AIDS.
He said:" This points out that men who were much older were going around with young women who wanted material needs that could be met by the older men.
"Please young people, you are now in university so you must understand that HIV/AIDS is a problem that does not look for you but you look for it meaning that if you take care of yourself then you do not have to worry about HIV/AIDS".
Mr. Mocke said the Tingim Laif project aims to reduce the vulnerability of HIV/AIDS in communities or settings throughout the country with over 36 project sites around the country.
Top: students listen while Mr. Wadunah and Mr Mocke give their talk.

Yet another astounding view of the Chihuahuan Desert from the Guadalupe Peak Trail at Guadalupe Mountains National Park. The park's website says this about the hike:
"On a clear day, the view from the "Top of Texas" (8,749 feet, or 2,667 meters) is outstanding. The trail is very steep, but is well established. Some areas are exposed to cliff edges. It is rated strenuous, with 3,000 feet of elevation gain. The round trip distance is 8.4 miles, and generally takes 6-8 hours. Avoid the peak hike during high winds and thunderstorms."
Trail descriptions for Guadalupe Mountains National Park are here. For more regional hiking information, visit the Texas Mountain Trail hiking page: www.texasmountaintrail.com/hike

I downgraded my service and was never billed for it at all. Because Comcast suggested that we go to paperless billing, I never saw a balance.
It was at $0 the whole time. Then, two months later, I received a call from their collections dept with the total. Obviously, I wasn't too surprised, but I was pretty taken aback when I tried to come with a compromise with the bill since they had never updated our online billing account to show the new total. I called their customer service and was told the same thing by four different CSRs: it was my job as a subscriber to call them to find out the bill and there was nothing they could do, not even cut my bill.
I was incensed since this was an error on their part and they put the blame on me, the subscriber because they never bothered to bill us correctly.
When I pointed this out, they still said that we were at fault. Following this call, in which we still have to pay the full amount or face collections, I was told that my account would be updated and, as you'll see in the attachment, it still isn't.
Product or Service Mentioned: Comcast Account.
Reason of review: Problems with payment.
Monetary Loss: $168.
Preferred solution: Price reduction.
Comcast Cons: Disregard for customer issues, Inability to help, Blaming the subscriber for their error.

Kabul-Afghanistan (PMG):
Reporter: Firdous Rasoli
The chief executive has condemn attack on "death anniversary of Abad Ali Mazari" and has said that this attack was targeting civilization. According to the Sapidar palace newsletter, Mr. Abdullah said: "Several indigent civilians were killed and wounded during this coward attack. Indeed, this is an attack on democracy and civilization, contrary to all Islamic and human principles and values. "
Mr. Abdullah also said: "The enemies of Afghanistan cannot create horror with unjust and criminal attacks, and all the citizens of Afghanistan will condemn such attacks in a single voice and stand with their security forces against all aggression of panic. They will stand with their forces to prevent such acts and incidents."
At least 3 women were killed by the attack and 28 were injured as a result of the attack on the place of commemoration anniversary of Abdul Ali Mazari death.

There are a few proven ways, other than winning, to earn the respect of the rusted-on regulars who fill the coliseum-like parade ring at Sha Tin racecourse.
Returning to race on the same day after a fall and riding like an absolute demon, even when well beaten, in every single race, are sure fire ways to become a fan favourite.
Italian Alberto Sanna is ticking all of the boxes and Saturday at Sha Tin he showed just how desperate he is in a race by dislocating his own shoulder when drawing the whip in the frantic final stages of race two.
It was a measure of Sanna's desperation that he wasn't even in contention for the win on Enormous Honour and was fighting for fourth place in a Class Four on the dirt.
And even then the dislocated limb didn't stop Sanna from riding his horse out.
"I'm very hungry, I have to get money, always," he said after returning from hospital where doctors reset his arm, the 32-year-old adamant he would be riding trackwork on Sunday morning.
Motivation for jockeys comes in many different forms, and rarely are they so open about it when the primary driver is money – yet Sanna is unashamedly mercenary.
"That's why I am here, Hong Kong racing has the best prizemoney in the world and I want to win as much of it as I can," he said. "I don't want to be riding until I'm 50, I want to win enough races that I can retire and live a good life, take care of my wife and kids."
Alberto Sanna wins Jockey Club licence extension, now chasing a full-time position
That is not to say Sanna lacks soul or lacks a competitive edge, if the one-handed push for a fourth-place cheque on Saturday wasn't evidence enough, there was his effort to run back to the jockeys' room for the next race after being back slammed onto the dirt two weekends ago.
That's when those parade ring regulars, notoriously unsentimental types who occasionally engage in slap fights over a lucky seat and take delight in booing Joao Moreira or Douglas Whyte over a bad ride, stood to applaud.
Tough cookies these jockeys - @Albe_Sanna dislocated his shoulder earlier today, back to front the media before the last! #HKRacing pic.twitter.com/pD01BAwsXY— Andrew Hawkins (@AndrewNJHawkins) April 21, 2018
"That made me feel special," Sanna said. "I think they've got to know me and they have learned I am a genuine person. I don't lie and I try hard. I showed that again today by pushing for fourth when I could have stopped riding."
Sanna is also filling the win column, his 11 victories since arriving in February sprinkled with long shots earning him an extension through to the end of the term.
'I just ride every race like it's my last': Alberto Sanna's mindset makes him a long-shot king
The next goal for Sanna is gaining a full-time place on the roster for 2018-19, something that will be decided by the Jockey Club Licensing Committee in early June.
Sanna's ability to ride 115 pounds and attitude surely has him well-placed at this stage.
They must make them tough in Italy, with Sanna's gritty display coming a week after his countryman Umberto Rispoli completed an amazing comeback from his own shoulder injury.
Rispoli returned to riding just 10 days after breaking his collarbone and undergoing surgery, then won a race 23 days after his fall and again on Saturday.
Umberto Rispoli wins on Fiama just 23 days after smashing his collarbone
Maybe the hunger for Sanna comes from the tough road he has walked to get to Hong Kong.
Coming from his homeland where the sport is in disarray, Sanna had stops in Qatar and Bahrain, but despite his success in the Middle East it was only a jockey shortage late last season that gave him his chance at Sha Tin.
Sanna made the most of that late call up, riding two winners from the last three meetings, and judging from his recent exploits, it would seem Sanna won't be letting go of his spot here any time soon.

The untold story of what made 'Among the Believers' an Emmy-worthy documentary
In the summer of 2014, I was living in New York when I met Hemal Trivedi. She told me she was making a film about Pakistan and wanted me to join her and the other director, Mohammed Ali Naqvi, to help them craft the narrative authentically. I had seen dozens of films about Pakistan that were made by foreign filmmakers and honestly, most of them were horribly inaccurate. I felt it was a story worth telling which is why I decided to take the job. The first step of editing any documentary is to familiarise oneself with the raw footage by ...Read Full Post
Why are places like Espresso and Dolmen Mall so averse to live music?
I'm standing at Alexanderplatz in Berlin, hearing music from three different directions coming from street artists who have set up their hats. One plays under a bridge, another next to a shopping district and a third outside a beer hall. I'm not sure which one to listen to when I get an urgent e-mail from Marium Kamal.

The struggle has paid off – the Pakistani film industry is finally awake
There is certain redemption in resurgence. A feeling of hope and of renewal, of things starting anew, of setting the old wrongs right. Pakistani cinema has come up by leaps and bounds in the last few years. From a struggling franchise engulfed in out-dated ideas desperately clinging on in order to survive and become a booming industry reminiscent of the golden days and a slight peek into the wondrous possibilities that lie ahead. Pakistani cinema has finally arrived and as a keen devotee of this resurrection it is apparent that the film industry is here to stay. Although the current situation resembles ...Read Full Post
Remembering Shakir Ali: One of Asia's greatest painters
Today marks the hundredth birthday of one of Pakistan's – and according to the equally legendary Intizar Hussain, Asia's – greatest painters, Shakir Ali (1916-1975). 2016 is deservedly being celebrated as Ali's birth centenary year and the occasion should not only refocus attention on the enduring legacy Ali has left behind in his works inspired by modernism and the progressive tradition, but also in the form of Lahore's National College of Arts, whom Ali single-handedly transformed into an institution of excellence. Photo: www.vaslart.org/ Ali is also singular in that, unlike his other legendary contemporaries Abdur Rahman Chughtai, Sadequain and Gulgee, his students ...Read Full Post
This is how Pakistan fights terrorism everyday
It is a given that life and everything that pertains to it is in a constant state of change. Furthermore, it silently urges all the material and immaterial to be subject to that change. As individuals, with every second and experience, we adapt and find ourselves ever evolving just the same. With this notion in perspective, it is equally evident that the aesthetic of art has evolved as well, for what once was associated with the beautiful, is now just as closely tied to the disturbing and the chaotic. But how and why has that sensibility evolved? 'Aesthetic' is anything that ...Read Full Post
The responsibility of being a famous celebrity in Pakistan
Saif Ali Khan's Phantom (2015) was a sad excuse for a movie, much like Shaan Shahid's Musalman (2001). Movies that play on the very jingoistic sentiment, which have led us into various wars and thousands of casualties, do nothing but betray their audiences who otherwise wish and need peace in the region. Pakistan was right to ban the film as a sign of protest. I would expect the same from India but India being a much older democracy has been far more disappointing. Not only did it ban non-political movies and dramas from Pakistan, but our artists like Shakeel Siddiqui and singers ...Read Full Post
When copying designs becomes a norm in the fashion world
Committing plagiarism under the guise of inspiration seems to be the new norm for fashion designers these days. And Pakistani designer Nida Khurram is no different.

As we bid adieu to American Idol, the legacy lingers on
The American singing competition, American Idol unfortunately meets its finale this year.

Don't get me wrong, I haven't missed any season over all, but the anticipation decreased significantly as Simon Cowell left the judges panel.

I like to listen to music, just like anybody else. And like a lot of people out there, I crave a musical atmosphere where I don't have to listen to Bollywood music blaring out the speakers all the time.

The historical study found that a diet of earlier human beings resulted in a lot of worn teeth created space between each tooth. Normal shifting of the teeth to close the space help make sure that space was available for wisdom teeth to erupt by adolescence. The current diet is much more delicate and soft; less space occurs between the tooth.
Wisdom teeth may emerge sideways, partly, or entirely trapped (impacted) inside jaw bone. Resulting in:
- Discomfort
- Decay of an adjacent tooth
- Infection
- Gum disease
- Formation of a cyst
- Cyst - when sac around the impacted tooth is filled up with fluid and grows larger to form a cyst. The growing cyst replaces part of the jaw bone causing hollowed bone. Occasionally this cyst becomes large and may cause damage to adjacent roots, tooth, bone, and nerves. Surgical removal of a cyst is recommended.
- Pericoronitis - an
inflammation of gum tissue over partially erupted tooth or partially impacted wisdom tooth. The
most common site for pericoronitis is the mandibular third molar regions. The thick flap of
gingival tissues covering portions of the crown of the wisdom tooth makes an ideal pocket for food particles accumulation and bacterial incubation, resulting in inflammation and infection.
the acute stage, pain and swelling in the
area are prominent features, follow by a sore throat, trismus (difficulty in opening the mouth and swallowing).
Treatment involves:
- Gentle cleaning underneath the flap and irrigation with salt water (1/2 teaspoon salt to 6 oz. of water). Water should be as hot as one can tolerate.
- Rinse vigorously for about 2 minutes at least every 2-3 hours with hot saline to relieve pain and hasten drainage of pus. Some people find it helpful to wash with Gengigel Hyaluronan Mouthrinse (150ml)
- Massage with Gengigel Gel - 20ml to the affected gums. Gengigel enhances the healing process and reduces the number of recurrent episodes
- Use of antibiotics in the advanced case is very practical. Recurrence often occurs until the extraction of the wisdom tooth.
- In some cases, the dentist may incise the gingival flap to provide access for cleaning to remove infected material.
- Decay (dental caries). The location of wisdom teeth makes them hard to brush; often decay develops between the wisdom tooth and adjacent tooth.
|Wisdom tooth in a younger patient
Removing wisdom teeth at a later age has more complications. Their roots become fully developed. The size of the roots are longer and larger, and the supporting bone is denser in the adult. The extraction becomes difficult, and injury to the nerves and surrounded structures may occur.
|Wisdom tooth in an older patient
The AAOMS/OMSF study strongly supports the removing of wisdom teeth in young age to prevent complications and to have optimal healing. The researchers also found that older age may be at greater risk of periodontal disease around wisdom teeth and adjacent teeth.
The Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon perform extraction in most wisdom tooth either under local anesthesia, intravenous sedation or general anesthesia.
Locate an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon at American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.
|Different stage of wisdom tooth development
Erupted wisdom teeth should be removed if the tooth is non-functional, severely decayed, at risk for periodontal disease.
Precaution: Do not take any drugs that interfere with coagulation (blood clot) prior to dental extraction, e.g., anticoagulants, aspirin, alcohol, broad spectrum antibiotics and chemotherapeutic agents. Consult with your physician before attempting to stop using the above drugs.
Symptom of wisdom tooth erupting:
- Pain at the area behind the second molar
- Facial swelling
- Tender gums at the third molar area
- Swelling of the gums adjacent to the second molar
1. Do not brush or rinse your mouth for the first 24 hours as that will disturb the wound. After 24 hours; gently rinse with warm salt water.
2. Apply pressure to gauze by biting to allow the blood clot for 30-60 minutes or longer if necessary. Change to new gauze when it soaked up with saliva and blood.
3. Do not smoke or use tobacco products for the first 72 hours after extraction because they can promote bleeding, delayed healing and infection.
4. Do not use a straw because this will promote bleeding and slow down the healing process.
5. During the first 24 hours; Apply ice pack or cold towel alternately 15-20 minutes on and 15-20 minutes off to the outside of your face in the area of extraction for 6 hours or bedtime will prevent swelling.
6. Diet; soup or soft foods, e.g., mashed potatoes, cream of wheat, etc. No crunchy or hard to chew food.
7. No alcohol drinks for the first 48 hours after surgery.
8. Resting - no activity for the first 24 hours to prevent more bleeding.
9. Read "How to prevent dry socket" from here.
What to do: Put a wet tea bag on the bleeding site and bite down firmly, hold in place for 10-15 minutes. Tea has tannin, a component that helps blood coagulation. Repeat if needed. If the bleeding continue, make an appointment to see your dentist. The dentist may clean the wound and place a hemostatic agent in the socket and suture to control bleeding. Some of the hemostatic agents used in dentistry by the dentist are:
- Ge-lfoam with topical thrombin
- Surgicel
- Avitene Davol
- Sulzer
- Helistat
Symptom: The pain at the socket that is improving during the first three to four days after extraction abruptly reversing to moderate to severe localized dull aching pain. If the extracted tooth is in the lower jaw, a dull aching, throbbing sensation pain can radiate to the ear and neck.
Dry socket exposed bone surfaces, with a partially or wholly lost blood clot. A bad odor and taste may or may not be present. Find more information about dry socket here.
What to do: Use of clove oil from over the counter, soaks in cotton pellet or a small piece of gauze before carefully apply to the wound, has been successfully alleviating the pain in most cases. Care must be taken to apply only to the socket area and not to contact other soft tissues.
Use the syringe given by your dentist, with warm salt water to clean the socket after each meal. If the pain still present, contact your dentist immediately.
It is normal for the area to be tender for the first few days, and in most cases simple over-the-counter pain relievers are enough to ease any pain. If you are taking daily medicine for your systemic condition, check with the dentist or pharmacist for drug interaction before taking any pain relievers. Do not use aspirin as its ability to thin the blood can create more bleeding at the wound.
What to do: If pain persisted, and you don't have access to the dental office
1. Application to the wound:
- Use Clove Oil from over the counter, dip a cotton pellet or cotton swab in clove oil and apply to the affected area. Care must be taken to apply only to the socket area and not to other soft tissues as it will have a burning sensation. Test for allergies with a small amount of clove oil.
Clove oil is approximately 80% eugenol, which has antiseptic, analgesic, anti-bacteria, and antifungal properties. Do not use Clove oil in a nursing mother, a pregnant woman, a child under the age of 2, or those who are taking a blood thinner.
For people over 65 or older children, it is better to start with lower-strength preparations before increasing the strength. Clove oil may be diluted by adding 3 drops of clove oil to 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, jojoba oil, or almond oil. Swish the diluted solution helps to relieve pain.
- Red Cross Complete Medication Kit, Toothache; contains85% Eugenol. Apply to the wound as in clove oil.
For every 4 hours, alternating between 2 extra-strength Tylenol and 2 tabs of Advil.
- Do not use this regimen if you have a history of peptic ulcer, liver disease, hypertension.
- Do not take this regimen more than few days.
- Do not exceed 4,000 mg or 8 extra strength Tylenol in one day
- May substitute Tylenol with other Acetaminophen (Paracetamol) 1000m and Advil with other Ibuprofen 400mg
4. Swelling
For swelling 24 hours after surgery;
Apply an ice pack or cold towel to the outside of your face in the area of extraction alternately 15-20 minutes on and 15-20 minutes off for 6 hours or till bedtime.
For swelling more than 24 hours after surgery;
1. Apply moist heated towel to the outside of your face in the area of extraction alternately 10-15 minutes on and 10-15 minutes off.
To get a moist heated towel, either:
- Wet towel put in the microwave for 10-20 seconds or
- Dip a towel in hot water
2. Apply Gengigel Gel to the wound 3-4 times a day or rinse with Gengigel with Hyaluronan mouth rinse. The main ingredient in Gengigel is Hyaluronic acid or commonly referred to as Hyaluronan. Hyaluronan enhances a healing process of the wound.
Hyaluronic acid (Hyaluronan) is a mucopolysaccharide found naturally in most cells in the body. Hyaluronic acid also acts as a ground substance for the connective tissue and helps provide tensile strength to the periodontal ligaments and keeps the gums healthy.
Transplantation is an implant of an extracted wisdom tooth to another site of missing molar tooth of the same person. Tooth transplant surgery is usually successful if the extracted wisdom tooth is implanted in the mouth of the same person and not successful if the tooth to be implanted comes from the other person.
Stem cells:
In August 2008, scientists in Japan revealed that they were able to harvest stem cells from wisdom teeth successfully. This clinical discovery is important to patients who have their wisdom teeth extracted. The scientists can have stem cells saved for future use, from extracted wisdom tooth.
Surgical Removal of Wisdom Tooth

In their first collaboration as a duo Portlander Marcus Fischer & Cambridge UK's Simon Scott (Slowdive), both releasing separately on 12K, come together to Shape Memory. Out on June 1st in a CD edition of 500 as well as digitally via Bandcamp the two compose three tracks from tapes, cymbals, guitar and various electronics with a running time of just over a half hour. Ferns has a bit of an out-jazz live rehearsal session feel at first, though I would rarely ever see either of their past work in this context. It's likely both their use of cymbal as musically central here. The tinier the percussion the more effective the track becomes, as these fine tendrils tie the jangle and hum together nicely.
To simply say this meanders would shortchange its impact as a sonic reflecting pool with its circular waves ranging from its center. Their use of electric bell tones mixes well with the slumped string strum and drum drone. Towards the end it sounds as though tape is being spooled by pulling as if by hand, rather than machine – an effect depicted on the record's simple coverart. There's really no break between the tracks Ferns and Thorns. The emotive layering continues to glisten in a vaguely shamanistic space.
Tranquil and light-infused the wee harmonies dangle as if time has been slackened. They are in no hurry toward conclusion, it's definitely a floating midpoint. That is until the very end of the track when Branches starts to form. Again, an immaculate transition – this truly is an extended long-player mastered by Taylor Deupree. The micro tonal migrations start to remove any prior excess, clear the air, and structurally begin to undulate anew. The mix very slowly becomes a bit denser, as if time-lapsed in duration. Is it a sweet camouflage bathed in ambient light, or are the duo orchestrating the growth process by cutting out the middle-man (aka Mother Nature)? My guess is they are employing a multi-textured, astute reverence to the spirit of Natura as their own gift to our senses. Thank you.

Time to determine who is the Best Supporting Actor Oscar winner of the 2010s. Again, in trying to determine the best of the best, I have decided to only focus on the men who actually won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. So it doesn't matter if you think Robert De Niro was robbed for Silver Linings Playbook–that debate is for another day. As the decade goes on and new winners are announced, I'll update the rankings so we can continue to judge. That is, after all, what the internet is for, right?
9. Mark Rylance, Bridge of Spies (2015)
Rylance was mostly absent during award season and wasn't even a lock for a nomination, so his win is one of the biggest upsets in recent memory. Unfortunately, there isn't much to his role as an imprisoned Soviet Spy. Rylance is barely in the movie. Usually, when an actor wins for a short performance they at least get a big moment–like Beatrice Straight reacting to her husband's infidelity in Network or Anthony Hopkins oozing menace in The Silence of the Lambs. There's none of that here. To be fair, Rylance gives an exceptionally lived-in performance, but watching Abel scratch at his ear is not exactly compelling cinema. He's a great understated actor but there's not enough here to merit an Oscar.
Should have won in 2015: Rylance's win most likely means Academy voters were reluctant to vote for Sylvester Stallone for Creed. But in what could be interpreted as a "death to Netflix" gesture, the Academy nominated Rylance instead of the SAG Award-winner for the category: Idris Elba in Beasts of No Nation. Elba deserved the win.
8. Christopher Plummer, Beginners (2011)
I hated this movie. Thankfully, Christopher Plummer was its only redeeming quality as Hal Fields, an elderly man who rocks his son's world with two announcements: that he has terminal cancer, and that he has decided to come out of the closet. Plummer turns in a sweet, heartbreaking performance, but in the end the movie is only really asking him to be an adorable old man. He does it well, but it dooms his performance to the lower ranks of the decade. The movie desperately wants to be about his son's character, not him, so he keeps getting relegated to the sidelines. In that sense, Hal's journey only matters in terms of how it affects his son.
Should have won in 2011: You could make the case that Plummer's strong award season was recognition for his career. You wouldn't necessarily be wrong–but he didn't exactly have stiff competition, anyway. It was just a weak year for supporting actors.
7. Christian Bale, The Fighter (2010)
I can't watch Christian Bale in a movie without constantly thinking that I'm watching him perform. He just always seems to be trying so hard. To be fair, he succeeds more often than not, but his performance as the bad-boy brother in the already-overpraised The Fighter just felt like more of the same to me. In fact, I would argue that his placement on the list has more to do with a general sense that he deserved recognition for saving the Batman franchise than anything else. His competition (John Hawkes, Jeremy Renner, Mark Ruffalo, and Geoffrey Rush) all felt more natural in their roles to me. But in the end, they didn't win, so here we are.
Should have won in 2010: Mark Ruffalo gave a perfectly ruffled performance in The Kids Are All Right.
6. Christoph Waltz, Django Unchained (2012)
I haven't seen Django Unchained. I refuse to because over the years I've developed an intolerance for Quentin Tarantino. So how did I know where to put Christoph Waltz on this list? I watched a bunch of clips from the movie on YouTube. Being honest, I still think I would have given the Oscar to Robert De Niro for Silver Linings Playbook. But I liked what I saw of Waltz's performance. I feel comfortable placing him here–even if I have no plans to see Django in its entirety anytime soon.
Should have won in 2012: 2012 was a packed year for Best Supporting Actor, but like I said: I'd have gone with Robert De Niro for Silver Linings Playbook.
5. Mahershala Ali, Moonlight (2016)
Mahershala Ali only appears in the first segment of Moonlight, a movie divided into three acts following the life of its principal character, but Ali sets the tone for the entire movie. His Juan is a complex dude: a drug dealer who notices a struggling child and takes him under his wing to offer him some peace. He teaches him to swim, offers him shelter from his drug-addicted mother (who happens to buy her drugs from Juan), and perhaps most importantly tells him a story about his childhood that gives us the movie's title and central theme. Ali inhabits him with a natural instinct and an understated ease. He never oversells and yet you always feel the full impact of what Juan is going through. It's a masterful balance.
Should have won in 2016: Some worried that Ali's sudden departure from the plot would hurt his chances (indeed, Ali lost some key award indicators on the way to the Oscars). And the performance does feel slight compared to the others on this list, but in a weak year for supporting actors, I can't point to anything that deserved it more.
4. Sam Rockwell, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017)
Most of my problems with Three Billboards (and I have a lot) come from the script. Sam Rockwell really commits to the role of a dimwitted racist cop with an anger management problem, so it isn't necessarily his fault that his character doesn't make sense (as written, the character is a mess of nonsensical contradictions and oversimplifications). Like Francis McDormand, he does the best he can to make it work, tearing into the role and playing it with gusto.
Should have won in 2017: Richards Jenkins' lonely, depressed neighbor in The Shape of Water was much more compelling.
3. Jared Leto, Dallas Buyers Club (2013)
As with Matthew McConaughey, no one was more surprised than me that Jared Leto won an Oscar–let alone that he deserved it. While McConaughey was busy filling Dallas Buyers Club with blustery, eff-the-world energy, Leto was quietly giving it a heart and a soul. It's exactly what Dallas Buyers Club needed–and the purest definition of what a supporting role should do. McConaughey fought the man while Leto embodied what the struggle was about in the first place. His messy, drug-addicted drag queen gave the AIDS epidemic a face and a context without becoming overly preachy or saccharine. Rayon wasn't a saint, but Leto made you love him despite his rough edges. And he broke your heart.
Should have won in 2013: Leto's performance as Rayon has become controversial over time as one of many examples of Hollywood casting a cisgender, heterosexual actor to play what is at minimum a genderfluid character. I don't want to delve into that debate here, so suffice it to say that although trans representation definitely matters, I think Leto gave one hell of a performance. He deserved it.
2. Mahershala Ali, Green Book (2018)
You can argue with the politics behind the movie and how it is only willing to grapple with the gay, black man at its center through the lens of a white man. You can argue that Ali is the film's co-lead, although I think the fact that this movie only looks at his character through another point of view makes the supporting category a better fit. So say what you will about the movie, at the end of the day Mahershala Ali is spectacular as Dr. Don Shirley, a concert pianist who chooses to go on a tour through the deep south in 1962. Ali makes Shirley a determined, dignified man with fussy characteristics that feel like natural tics. Shirley could have easily felt like Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory, but he does not. It's a remarkably confident, natural performance that is also markedly different from the one that won Ali his first Oscar in Moonlight.
Should have won in 2018: I would love to make a case for Richard E. Grant, who was wonderful and heartbreaking in Can You Ever Forgive Me?, but the truth is I'm still impressed by what Ali achieved.
1. J.K. Simmons, Whiplash (2014)
This dude is absolutely terrifying. And not in that supervillain way we saw in the top 3 in the 2000s–although Simmons' brutal teacher, Fletcher, is headed in that direction. He doesn't try to coax the best out of his elite music students (save that crap for Dangerous Minds). No, this guys beats it out of them. Verbal and psychological abuse will also do just fine. Any other actor would have lost the double-edged sword at the heart of Whiplash: true genius and true talent require a vicious work ethic. It requires sacrifice and single-minded dedication. It requires you to be pushed beyond the limit you thought you couldn't overcome. As much as you want to hate Fletcher, you can't help but wonder if he has a point when he says that the two most damaging words in the English language are "good job." Whiplash would have been nothing without J.K. Simmons, which clearly makes him the best.
Should have won in 2014: It was definitely Simmons' year.
