On Thursday, it was announced that Bad Grandpa was up for an Oscar for Best Makeup and Hairstyling, thanks to the work of Stephen Prouty, who transformed Johnny Knoxville from this...
To this: 86-year-old Irving Zisman, the star of Bad Grandpa.
The nomination had Twitter all kinds of excited:

I have a lot of movies to watch. #BadGrandpa #OscarNoms
CRAP! I need to see #TheLoneRanger AND #BadGrandpa! #Oscars
The only movie I'm rooting for is #BadGrandpa!!
Though not everyone was pleased...
My worst film of 2013 was nominated for an Oscar! #BadGrandpa #badgrandpamovie
Everyone could share in the surprise factor.
So #Jackass gets more #Oscar nominations than #TheButler and the same number as Mandela and Saving Mr Banks. Didn't see that coming.
Though no one was more shocked than Knoxville himself:
Holy hell, an Oscar nomination for Stephen Prouty for makeup and hairstyling in bad grandpa!! Wahooo!!!! #oscars #BadGrandpaMovie
