I said come in! posted:

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.


Maybe Selma is a bad movie? I haven't seen it yet. 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 think it's like anything out there (music, games, etc.) in that people take someone not liking a movie as an offence to them personally. Once you realize this you can start not really caring that your favorite movie lost and acting offended. It's just fun and games for rich assholes to get these Oscars.

Big Hero 6 was nothing special.

Not sure what deserves it here. Even HTTYD2 was nothing great.

Personally Birdman didn't really do much for me, though I suppose I can see why it'd win. But the biggest surprise for me was that it won camera over Grand Budapest Hotel. I adored the cinematography in GBH, it made for a really distinct and fitting style. While Birdman had a number of pretty shots as well, GBH was definitely more memorable in that aspect for me.

Birdman was cool in how it seamlessly blended all those shots but I agree, the shots in GBH are so amazing - everything perfectly lined up in 4:3. One day Wes.

I watched Jupiter Ascending before Ive seen Theory of Everything and loving Eddie Redmayne was the worst thing about the entire movie. How he goes from a shrieking manchild to winning a oscar is beyond me.
