Selma getting snubbed hardcore seems to be getting a lot of talk. No reason to not nominate Ava DuVernay for best director when the movie has a best picture nomination. Hollywood (and society in general), really likes to erase the work that people of color do, even more so if it comes from a woman. My probably unpopular opinions are Birdman for best picture, Michael Keaton for Birdman, Rosamund Pike for Gone Girl because she kills Neil Patrick Harris in it, Emma Stone for Birdman, The Grand Budapest Hotel for best Screenplay because I get a hard-on for Wes Anderson films, Interstellar for visual effects, and Big Hero 6 for best animated film (seriously tho, where's Lego Movie??? It would have to be a coin toss for me to decide between the two). I don't care about the rest.

If the Oscars were still doing five noms for Best Picture I doubt Selma would have gotten in on account of its portrayal of LBJ apparently being the opposite of the truth, according to historians.

Really glad Cotillard got a nomination, and cinematography for Ida was a nice surprise -- that thing's beautiful. Virunga for best doc is really nice to see, it's great and more people need to catch it. The rest is so ehhhhhhhhh though.

And as others said, isn't really inaccurate in regards to Lyndon Johnson and his support? Plus 12 Years A Slave won best picture last year so not sure where youre getting this "HOLLYWOOD HATES BLACK PEOPLE".

I personally enjoyed Selma, it's a very Christian movie though (as in spiritual and explicitly Christian). It's also less inaccurate than Lincoln at least, in that they actually bothered to include LBJ in the film.

Hollywood threw a well known black director (one of the few who has been given a super rare opportunity) a bone doesn't erase the trend that Hollywood is pretty decidedly racist. Granted 12 years a slave is an amazing film and deserved best picture, but there is still a long ways to go in Hollywood being better at recognizing the work of people of color in the industry. As it is right now it is still a white dominated industry. The nominations this year prove that. I said come in! fucked around with this message at 01:43 on Jan 16, 2015 |

Generally the Academy Awards like to reward progressive films to the point that they could be said to pat themselves on the back with obviously underwhelming nominations and wins (Crash). Behind the scenes there is as much or more backwardness as any major industry.

Plus, it wasn't even that long since the last Best Picture winner before 12 Years that had a black director, which was __________.* Additionally, we have a black president, so I'm not sure where people are getting the idea that the American political system has lingering hostility towards African-Americans. * It does not exist

Again, the idea that these films only exist to assuage white guilt is perhaps the most hilariously racist part of the whole affair, as if they have no merit otherwise as art.

Selma loving owns and does way more interesting things with its directing than like any prestige biopic I've seen in years. To HUNDU's point, I'm reminded of an interview with Ryan Coolger (Fruitvale Station) wherein he pointed out that even when films by directors of color get praised, discussion tends to focus on content rather than form - so we can talk about the story of Oscar Grant III and what it says about race relations, but not so much about the stylistic choices that Coogler felt were paramount to telling that story. His analysis rings true in terms of Selma: it's a biopic about MLK, so it's a serious and important enough to receive accolades, but there's no reason to commend DuVernay for the masterful work she did on the Edmund Pettus bridge sequences.

Gone Girl got shafted pretty badly, too. I haven't seen The Theory of Everything but with as blatant an Oscar grab as it was, I can't imagine Gone Girl or Interstellar didn't deserve at least a nod over it. And Trent Reznor getting snubbed for the soundtrack too. Don't get me wrong, I liked Zimmer's work for Interstellar but anyone who doesn't think he was aping the poo poo out of Philip Glass is deluded.

Just sticking to Fincher I'm kind of amazed that his film I enjoyed least (Benjamin Button) got tons of nominations years back and the one I've enjoyed the most in a very long time gets only one.

Is there a demographic breakdown of the most active Oscar voters? Because I'm pretty sure they're mostly white old people who have very conventional tastes at best. I gave up on the Oscars in terms of artistic legitimacy when Paprika didn't even get a nomination. Unfortunately, they do matter in that they are often used as weathervanes for studios for what kinds of prestige films they are going to produce, and thus can define the genres/topic/style they're willing to invest in.

Why the gently caress Imitation Game for Best Picture? Everything I've read about the movie is about how hilariously wrong it is on all accounts (nothing about the movie itself). And American Sniper but not Unbroken? They are almost the same (and both mediocre). As a latent Pole, what are Ida's chances?
