Nominees for the Academy Awards were announced this morning. As each category was announced we couldn't help, but slow clap our way through the entire thing. "Les Misérables"? "Amour"? No thank you. We're aware that a group of 60-year-olds with bad tans and bleached teeth sit in an office in Hollywood and choose these nominees. However, the Academy Awards don't speak for the entire movie-watching community. More specifically, the Guy Code movie-watching community. We'll pass on the artsy-fartsy, hoity-toity films that make us feel like we just got a D in high school English. Instead, we want action, laughs, explosions, blood,"Will Ferrell" and everything in between. We present to you a list of nominees that were overlooked by the Academy, but not by Guy Code.

Guy Code can really be summed up as, "Don't be an idiot." It's breaking Guy Code when you do idiotic things, like not wearing your seat-beat in a sports car.

Do as Wiz Khalifa says, not as he did in his Porsche 911 Carrera S. A cop pulled over the O.N.I.F.C. for failing to wear a seat belt and wrote him up even though he recognized him, proving once again that no one is above the law -- not Wesley SnipesSteven Seagal or rappers who commit traffic violations in California.

A TMZ photographer who sounds like a fan captured the scene as a subdued, sober Wiz warns, "Make sure you guys wear your seat belt." To be clear: He's right. Don't be a cocky dumbass who's too cool to strap on a belt. That plan works well until you get rear ended by someone text messaging and end up eating your windshield, or pavement.

"He's a good dude," the TMZ photographer tells the cop in the video.

"I know! I recognized him," the cop responds. "But safety, safety."

Watch the scene, if only to admire Wiz's wheels.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt once Tweeted, "Punks get at me, bitches react to me." OK, he didn't. No matter, though, because by now you're aware of Twitter and the power of access it grants to all of its users. This includes athletes, MCs, politicians and, yes, Oscar-nominated stars who've been blowing sh*t up on the big screen for close to 30 years.

Sylvester Stallone is a Hall-of-Fame action actor with hits like the "Rambo" series, "Demolition Man," the "Rocky" franchise (which are technically sports films, but whatever) and, more recently,"The Expendables" flicks. We immediately followed him on Twitter, but were a little confused as to the people he chose to follow. It's an odd mix of pop culture, fitness and reality-TV, which not only begs the question of who, but also why does Sylvester Stallone follow these people? Let's take a look:

Dolph Lundgren

Fellow "Expendables" co-star, it makes sense that Sly follows Dolph. These two go as far back as "Rocky IV" when Dolph nailed his role as Rocky's Soviet opponent, Drago. His Twitter feed mostly promotes his films with the occasional German or Swedish or some European language tweet about God-knows-what. So why does Sly Stallone follow Dolph?

Drake's new motto might as well be "Pay me, bitch" following his effort last week to claim a cut of Walgreens and Macy's profits from products bearing the "YOLO" acronym he popularized. The Young Money rapper used his Instagram account to shame Walgreens -- not for selling YOLO hats for a meager $6 apiece -- but for taking what he believes is his and stamping a cap with it. "You gotta chill or cut the cheque" he wrote. We don't blame Drake for wanting a piece of what he created, only he may lack valid trademark protection in the acronym. Just as Nintendo was able to trademark the phrase "It's On Like Donkey Kong" even though Ice Cube had opened his 1992 song "Now I Gotta Wet'cha" with the phrase.

So, maybe no dice for Drake if he actually proceeds with legal action. Check out four other cases where rappers fought over a "trademarked" phrase or acronym.

There's no better way to begin a new year than with your tongue down someone's throat. Or if not that deep, then a smooch like Lady Gaga and Michael Bloomberg at the start of 2012, which may also be the most awkward kiss of the year. (Stay tuned to the show this season for the crew's breakdown on kissing.) Here's wishing you peace, love and wet ones in 2013! Get inspired with some celebrity tongue baths below.

The Tim Tebow bandwagon is about 97 pounds lighter today. According to Us Weekly, the NFL's most famous personal punt protector and his lady friend, actress Camilla Belle, have split.  "It just didn't work out," a source told the tabloid.

Does this have anything to do with Jets former third-string quarterback Greg McElroy's promotion over the supposed backup? Hard to tell, although things were looking good: she had just met his parents plus the pair went to church together.

Now T2 is sort of jobless and girlfriend-less, plus the world ends tomorrow. Regarding his quasi-demotion by the Jets, he said: "All you can ask for, all you want is a chance -- a chance to go out and play the game you love and help this team win football games. That's all I wanted. I tried to make the most of every opportunity I had. I would've loved to have had more."

We're trying to figure out if he's ever had a more unpleasant stretch. The week after Florida lost at home to unranked Mississippi? The time the media tried to hook him up with Katy Perry? Annoying but not exactly a hardship there so we're going to say, from the outside looking in, this is the suckiest week Tebow's ever had.

That's veteran actor and comedian David Koechner pointing to his bald dome. Because he's damn proud of it...as well as the remaning circle of hair surrounding his head's summit that other baldies shave (Matt Hasselbeck) and some cover with a hat (Ron Howard).

Along with SNL's Abby Elliott and actor/comedian Owen Benjamin, Koechner just wrapped up a six-city romp with AXE Hair's "Splitting Hairs Comedy Tour." Among other topics, the trio discussed hair (surprise!) and Koechner's lack thereof. He doesn't lament his bareheadedness, though. Koechner celebrates it. It's actually cool to be bald now, maybe the universe's way of balancing the unrestrained hairstyles of the '70s and '80s. Or maybe most people realized they looked ridiculous. Whatever the case, bald is back.

Koechner is uniquely qualified as a funny bald man to break down the best follicly-challenged dudes of 2012, so we asked him to comment on the top 12 as selected by Guy Code Blog. Koechner's genius follows.

Koechner: "Chuck has demonstrated Hall of Fame baldness for being and athlete and entertainer. He has a natural confidence which emanates from his hairline."

Kanye West has been wearing a leather kilt (or man-skirt, or whatever it is) at his concerts for awhile, but last night's 12-12-12 Hurricane Sandy benefit was many people's first exposure to it. And whenever a celebrity does something weird, the masses turn to Twitter.

No surprise, #KanyesKilt became a whole thing, even spawning its own account with tweets such as "You would not believe the chafing going on in here right now" and "For those of you wishing to purchase a similar garment, go to your local Scottish S&M outlet." Here's the best of the rest...

1. The Mayans warned us:

2. One of the best skirts of all time:

That's funny, they don't look not Jewish.

As Hanukkah rolls on, we wondered who amongst the A-list crowd is celebrating. We know the obvious (Adam Sandler), the super-obvious (Steven Spielberg) and the super-duper obvious (Matisyahu). However, some of our assumptions didn't pan out. Just because someone looks Jewish--or has a Jewish-sounding last name--doesn't mean they had a bar or bat mitzvah. Here are 10 unexpected nonmembers of the tribe.

1. "Weird" Al Yankovic

That Eastern European mug suggests his in-flight meals are kosher, but alas, "Weird" Al is Serbian, English and Italian. He does not practice Judaism, despite what "Pretty Fly (For a Rabbi)" would have you believe.
