DENIED! Banksy Loses Best Documentary Oscar

Much to our surprise, Banksy's film 'Exit Through the Gift Shot' did not win an Oscar. Click the jump for more

We are much more tuned into the street art world than the world of the movies, but we were stunned when Banksy's 'Exit Through the Gift Shop' did not win an Oscar.

The winner instead went to 'Inside Job'.

The results are stunning, and we never got to see if Banksy might appear and what he might wear on stage.

Even though the results are a bit disappointing, this has always been about the art for us, and it has already been a win having Banksy come to LA. As we said before, win or lose, we expect to see some new art from Banksy, so make sure to keep your eyes out. We are really expecting to a see some new art by tomorrow morning!

Art Babies

Yesterday we saw some Hipster Babies, and today we get a basket full of art babies.

Not sure exactly what the commentary is, but it features a bunch of babies with an Oscar in a basket.

This is a stencil that has been wheat pasted onto the wall from Xvala.

Xvala is also responsible for the 'Banksy' monkeys-the ones holding the signs, that we have got a lot of questions about wondering if it is a Banksy. It is Banksy's image, but used by Xvala.

MELROSEandFAIRFAX on the BBC

MELROSEandFAIRFAX had the pleasure of being interviewed by the BBC earlier this morning. This pic is the BBC crew talking about how to fit our mohawk in the picture. LOL. Click the jump for more

We have a lot of respect for the BBC news services, and it was a honor to be interviewed by them for a story about Banksy.

We met at Banksy's Crayon Soldier and discussed many different angles of the artist and artwork itself. They asked some provoking questions, perhaps the most interesting being, "If Banksy were to win an Oscar, would it make him more cool or less cool?"

We don't know. We'd love to hear what people think.

And there was some action during the interview as well. Right in the middle of talking, we heard a big "Whap!" and turned around to see a dude running off. He had come over and slapped a sticker on the Banksy wall right in the middle of the interview. And when we say slapped, we mean slapped! Haha, funny stuff.
