Because the Oscars have ALWAYS been about inter-studio politics rather than movies. Why else do you think Harvey Weinstein has so many Oscars? Dude is corrupt as fuck.

It's why Moonlight won this year.

I promise you 90% of the Academy saw La La Land and loved it and only 10% of voters saw Gay Black Boys: The Motion Picture but because of La La Land's white cast and Moonlight's minority pandering, they voted it to win.

Despite the fact that Moonlight was the definition of a film school movie. Like, indistinguishable from shit you see in Production II classes.

Remember when toni erdmann was set to win the oscar all year and then trumps mudslime ban happened and then the Iranian director won :^)

12 Years was good, but what bothered me was giving Nyongo the Oscar and praising her performance, her entire 5 minutes in the entire fucking movie, and maybe about two paragraphs of dialogue, if that.

Yeah, I have really no idea.
Making a film about modern slavery for Oscars sounds like a way more safer bet nowadays.
Especially considering ISIS have enslaved people which would make it socially relevant.

Ocsar members have always been lazy shits. They literally don't have the time to watch the movies in a theater? Apparently so. Why watch a movie the way its meant to be seen when you can be a lazy cunt and watch half a movie on a shitty DVD screener on your laptop? It's not like the OSCARS present itself as the most prestigious awards show on the planet.

That being said 12 Years a Slave is a legit great movie.

honestly it isnt a very good movie.

Its kinda insulting how it gives slavery the hollywood treatment with characters just being sadistic assholes for no reason reciting villain-speeches while others just randomly talk about their tragic life stories. I found the entire movie very off-putting.

Fucking Django unchained did it better because at least Tarantino showed that slavery was mostly just a "matter of fact" thing for slaves and slavers alike and the lines of abuser and abused werent all that clear cut either. It was a horrible system, not just a bunch of horrible people.

This is not new. The majority of the voters don't watch all the movies that have been nominated. They either abstain, vote for the ones they've actually seen, or vote for the ones they're told to vote for.

The Oscars are a joke, I wish we lived in the Godfather era.

I recently graduated from a small liberal arts school in NE. One of my friends who was involved with student government association all four of his years said there's a black guy who would literally tell people before votes, "if you don't vote for X you're a racist." All the records of what's said in those meetings are publicly accessible (at least to people involved with the school like students, faculty, etc.), so it should make for some fun discussion some day.

I mean fucking Argo? That was such a bland piece of crap that I can't even believe it was nominated.
