Nominated: Matt Calvert’s Stitches, Bob and Water

Another couple of great options. The Academy was straddled with two fantastic photos this year for the Union and Blue’s Oscar for Best Picture. The Academy went with Sergei Bobrovsky and his penchant for using a plethora of water during games. Bob dousing himself in some high quality h2o is always a must watch.

We’ve seen the Russian use his water bottle to create artistic beauty many times this season. This shot from Aaron Doster of USA Today Sports takes us back to the days of HHH on the top rope before a big fight.

Like HHH, Bob intimidates his opponents with the water antics, as well as woos the ladies. His aquatic adventures have caught our eye on many occasions this year, but alas, the Academy can only honor one as the Best Picture.

Matt Calvert’s smiling mug following his game winning goal and 36 stitches to the face was a close second. For fairness sake though the Academy wanted to spread the love around the team.
