Seed: 4
Overview: Writer/Director of such films as 40-year Old Virgin and Knocked Up. This relative newcomer to the scene is looking to make a splash this year with fellow Jew-Tang Clan members Paul Rudd and Seth Rogan backing him up. I’d like an invite to that Shabas dinner.
Pros: Connections to Stella members Michael Showalter, David Wain, and Michael Ian Black. Is also rumored to be down with Michael Cera, which by proxy, makes him unassailably cool.
Cons: Casts members of Greys Anatomy in his films.
Outlook: Apatow is a fan favorite this year, and with a strong supporting staff, looks to make a deep run in this tournament.
CHRISTMAS
Seed: 13
Overview: Perhaps the most celebrated of all Christian Holidays, Christmas has incorporated many aspects of pagan and other cultural rituals in the name of Jesus. Christians have continued to decry the fact that Christmas is being taken away from them, despite the fact that 95% of Americans celebrate it.
Pros: Gives us a chance to play with our Red Ryder B.B. guns.
Cons: Only comes once a year, and unfortunately not in March. Also, Santa apparently can’t keep up with Wii production.
Outlook: An early loss by Christmas this year may be cause for more claims of persecution by Christians, despite the fact that they have, in some form, been in a power position since….um….Constantine.
