As exciting a time as Oscar season is, it's fairly clear that, if one were to attempt it, the entire thing could be picked apart, leaving nominees' reputations in tatters.

That's exactly what The Shiznit have done... again.

For an internet audience, the nomination announcement is rapidly falling by the wayside against these annual 'honest posters' - officially an awards season highlight.

The good news is that this year's batch are as brutally hilarious as last year's were.

Following Straight Outta Compton's Best Picture snub, we bet Ice Cube's a big fan - feast your eyes on a selection below.
