Silent Jay Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Hacksaw Ridge was the best movie I've watched this year but no matter how well directed it was, people are going to vote for La La Land or Fences /Moonlight. This is just how the oscars work, they're completely biased. What really happened with Silence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Thanks for making the thread; I never got around to doing so, obviously. I always make it a priority to see all of the Best Picture nominations, as well as the films actors and actresses have been nominated "Best" for. I still have yet to see Hacksaw Ridge and Lion as far as the Best Picture films go, and a few of the actor/actress nominations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane M. Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Natalie Portman and Dev Patel better win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maynard Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Political Correctness will certainly give the Oscars to Viola Davis, Denzel, etc... Other actors don't even stand a chance. But I'll watch the ceremony, it's fun for a Sunday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denzel maybe, but that's really only between him and Casey Affleck and I'm going with Casey as Denzel has won before when he probably really shouldn't have. There's more to the Oscars than these two categories anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People made a big stink that the Oscars didn't nominate enough black people last year, and this year, they just "happen" to nominate the most black people in like 30 years. The only ignorant people are the ones who think last year's crybabies didn't affect this year's nominations at all. Not to mention that last year there just weren't a whole lot of Oscar worthy performances by black actors(tresses). Then this year there were a few clear Oscar baity movies with mostly black casts. But yeah, I must be an ignorant racist because notice obvious crap. Edited February 5, 2017 by AxlisOld 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Lion was great. Dev Patel was great, but still rooting for Bridges to win the award. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Denzel Washington acting'. I tried to describe his acting style to a friend once and we both summarised that it can only be described as 'Denzel Washington acting'.

Len Cnut Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 What i wanna know is why is political correctness only an issue when race is involved? The Oscars have ALWAYS been politically correct, its why the feel good American movie always wins out over other films that might be incredibly superior. I mean Forrest Gump doing Pulp Fiction across the board and shit like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All movie stars like that though arent they? I'm talking about the stars here. Its what makes them recognisable. The chameleon actor is a rarity.

Have you seen these films and made your own judgements or just being a sheep and regurgitating what other people say? This goes for you too @AxlisOld Since you started spewing ignorance and you too @DieselDaisy since you apparently liked their comments.

Sure, if the people that were involved with Forrest (specifically Hanks, Zemeckis and Tisch) had actually been the ones involved with Pulp and the ones involved with Pulp (primarily Tarantino) had been involved with Forrest and the movies themselves were exactly the same, then Pulp would have won. At the time the majority of Hollywoods old guard despised Tarantino and were actually envious of his success and didn't feel he had "paid his dues" and he legitimately is kind of a dick. At any rate, that same "old guard" is who votes on the oscars. QT was never going to win that year. To prove my point further how far up Hollywoods ass Hanks, Zemeckis and Tish are, this same year Shawshank Redemption was nominated in several categories as well. Shawshank is generally considered the greatest film of all time by most (with some arguements made to The Godfather). so FG didn't win bc it was a more palatable film, it would bc of who was involved in the project itself compared to its competition (that's Hollywood politics). There are dozens more example of this throughout time (hell every time Scoercese got nominated to be honest).

Its a known fact that films with a certain type of message win out in Hollywood, that aint politics, thats political correctness. Also, you cant be insinuating people are racists for pointing out the glaringly obvious, last year theres a big to do about black folks not getting represented this time round theres black nominees. Its not really ignorant or racist to point out the bleeding obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
