Selma is way, way better than the Turing or Hawking biopics.

The Oscars are the second best definition of "Industry Awards" as opposed to what they claim to be, "Film Awards."

The best example is The Grammys which are an absolute joke to everyone.

Wasn't Spielberg set to direct this sniper movie at one point? I wonder how he would have handled it.

He added the evil brown sniper character.

That convention thing was weird but I really thought he had a slightly better grip on reality than that - what with Unforgiven, Baby and Letters from Iwo Jima. Did he really go downhill since then? I still can't get too mad at him as he's way more coherent than my grandma who's about the same age, though.

Edit: Haven't seen those two. Anyway, there's an AS thread now so I'll stop making GBS threads up this thread.

His speech at the convention is either someone who was really sure he could wing political comedy in front of thousands live and millions on TV, suddenly realizing he could not; or someone with the beginnings of dementia.

I was looking at some lists of the last several Oscars...

Is The Artist the most forgettable oscar winner at least in recent memory. It looks like a bad year in general based on the nominations (I would have probably gone Descendants) but don't think I've heard that film referenced once since 2011.

The Artist is a great film.

Those Oscar ballots are the least surprising thing I've ever seen but I'm just hoping that the website is in on the joke and posting the most out of touch ones.

e: Theory of Everything is so bad that if it wins and Redmayne wins it will likely go down, personally, as Shakespeare in Love levels of laughable Oscar years.

That not going to Theory of Everything makes me kinda hopeful Keaton won't get Murrayed.

To be fair, conservatives are actually pretty progressive in not giving a poo poo about the Oscars.

Last year they were frothing about Lone Survivor not being nominated.

Here's Carl Espick to explain why American Sniper should have won best picture.

I don't think most people realized Penn worked with him on 27 Grams. Even if, how does tumblr/twitter think for a second that Sean loving Penn has suddenly become an arch-conservative. Thank god for the internet so we have access to people's snap indignant ramblings.

The idea that people love things because of a hive mind or because it "makes them seem smart" is pretty loving ignorant.
