The British Metal Hammer staff seem to be excited about this year Oscar Movie Awards, and as we know them, they probably are looking to see that “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug” will win some of those golden Oscars. But this is just a part of story, they recently presented their own kind of Oscar Award, entitled “Moshcas,” but why that name we have no idea yet. Check out their statement:
“It’s the only way to describe the Metal Hammer office today. For it is today, in honour of it being Oscars weekend, that we have officially launched the first ever Metal Hammer Moshcas. Best Beard? Best Dressed? Best Metal Pet?”
Metal Hammer UK continues: “So, without further ado, here are the 100% official (definitely not official), first annual Moshcas. Good luck to everyone nominated. This is set to be a truly emotional day. And yes, the pun is truly, truly dreadful and we know it should technically be “moshcars” but we thought it looked better, so there.”
