And the Oscar goes to: The (unofficial) Academy Award for the best moustache

FORGET Best Actor. Or Best Actress. Best Picture? Who cares. And whoever the Best Director is, we really don’t give a damn. Unless he has a moustache.

FORGET Best Actor.

Or Best Actress.

Best Picture? Who cares.

And whoever the Best Director is, we really don’t give a damn. Unless he has a moustache.

The most important, yet least recognised, unofficially Academy Award category is that for Best Moustache.

We think this year’s nominees have graced the screen with such exceptionally manicured facial scruff that their mo’s deserve their own award.

Without further ado, here are the Oscar nominees for ‘tache of the year.

Danny Trejo — Machete Kills

Machete’s weapon of choice: facial hair.

Joaquin Phoenix — Her

No, I love YOU, smartphone.

Matthew McConaughey — Dallas Buyers Club

Classic Texas.

Will Ferrell — Anchorman 2

Ron Burgundy’s ‘stache nearly made Anchorman 2 enjoyable.

Projected winner: Joaquin Phoenix. The film’s poster is basically one giant close-up of the mo. Enough said.

Honourable mentions: Paul Rudd (Anchorman 2), Christian Bale (American Hustle).
