So, the Academy Award Controversy

[ten ocho recon scout]

Benecio Del Toro in Sicario could be considered a snub and you don't see Hispanic people getting up in arms about it.

exactly. And he totally deserved a nomination. But theres a ton of movies...lots of nominations deserved. The academy really doesnt matter anyway, IMO, its all about whether or not someone likes the movie.

Titanic should tell everyone how pointless the awards are

That's because we have huge packages

I liked straight out of compton a lot. Was way better than i was expecting, watched it again last week. But i liked socario better, and it only recieved filler award nominations too.

 

You're so white.

[mrwicked]

i don't care one way or another.

but I've heard people saying straight outta compton should have been nominated and easily win best picture, because "its the best biopic since amadeus."

lol.

One group complained that they felt slighted. The other group promised to do better next time. I'm over it.

Hug it out guys.

They should nominate a Tyler Perry movie just for the lulz.

The academy should nominate a bunch of blacks - except for those who publicly complained.

We'll see how much this is about the "we" and not the "me"

This would have been a good year for Ricky Gervais to host the Oscars

[gotbeer]

For those that are complaining.  It would be interesting to see their ballots, if they voted at all.

I liked straight outta compton but I didn't come away thinking oscar.  It's just that so many movies are awful and that one was actually pretty good.

Why do you hate white people?

Okay.... so it did deserve a nomination then, right?

[Blarg]

I still get screeners on DVD but no ballot. So they seem to be phasing out old white guts already.

Nobody wants to see your old white gut.

Idris Elba deserved a supporting actor nomination for Beasts of No Nation,

Also Kitana Kiki Rodriguez for Tangerine.  Though, Imagine the uproar of a transgender person being nominated.

Serious question, what do they get nominated for? Actor or actress?

Sounds like the future might hold a new Oscar category.
