White guilt is going to make a bunch of whiny hipster bloggers go see this movie to atone for slavery and then they can all circle jerk over each others blogs about how much more diverse they are.
they won't (see the movie, i mean)

they'll just jerk themselves off about it

lmao excuse me, CRASH is the greatest movie ever made. it tells a deeply rivetting and empowering tale of racism across all points of views coming together. also the help and Blindside are loving goooddd

tho i wonder how many nomineees are lovely drama oscarbaits about struggles of being black in [x time period].
crash also passed over brokeback mountain.

had brokeback mountain won instead of crash, would it have helped gay americans at all

nope

If there's a lesson to be learned here it's that we have a long way to go before we can truly talk about progress being made. Also: this sucks.

The lesson to be learned is that you should not post.

The Turing Movie Imitation Game that will be nominated for an Oscar next go around did the same thing. It also turned Turing into a carbon copy of BBC Sherlock and was poo poo all around. But making poo poo up and being unfaithful to people you are portraying is creative license and not unethical.
