2020 Oscars Discussion - complain about how Uncut Gems nor the Lighthouse weren't nominated here

Funny thing is is that Asian culture kinda has been better than western culture and kinda deserving of replacing it, but not for the reasons these assholes think, but because Asian culture is generally not "woke" like modern western culture is.

Eh, the accounts you're talking about are Bernie Bro/Scumbag Left types. They're not really yelling Fuck Whitey as loudly as loads other Lefties. Not really the same as the Fuck Whitey Praise The Military Big Business If Woke crowd.

It's good (and I very much enjoyed the art design and cinematography) but it's not BP material and wouldn't have won if the voters weren't using it to make a political statement.

Then again, the other nominations that year were pretty mediocre except for Dunkirk so it's not like some super-deserving movie got overlooked as a result.
Honestly I believe Shape of Water won because they use preferential voting,, so I doubt it was most people's top choice however it was most people's second or third one
 
I did not watched Parasite yet, but from what I heard, it really deserves the award.

Also, wanted to be a little patriotic and reccomend Boże Ciało. It was nominated in best foreign picture and probably is not as good as Parasite, but it is still a really, really good heartwarming movie and it is a pity competition was so strong this year, because in my opinion it is a lot better than pretentionous "artistic"Pawlikowskis movies that Hollywood loves so much.
It is really good study of mentality and faith of many people in Polish countryside (so I'm afraid it may be a bit confusing for American audience?). And it has a lot of symphaty and understanding for all characters.
I just think it's great that this kind of movie "for everyone" was nominated and not some avant-grade artistic pessimistic crap.

My only issue with Parasite winning two categorizes is that, in comparison, they treat the animation one sorta like a quarantine for that category. though that is mostly due to them being massive boomers when it comes to the medium
they would never give something like, say a Studio Ghibli film a chance at a nomination for BP due to the massive bias they have against the medium. So they put the animation in its own category just so it can get beaten by Disney shit.
Then again I don't really think the Oscars matter anymore in this day and age other then for publicity

Some of the best movies to win Best Animated Feature are non Disney. Rango is the most beautifully ugly movie ever and Into the Spiderverse deserved it based on its amazing visuals that truly looked like something I had never seen before.

Yep. After Beauty and the Beast ended up being nominated in 1991 they decided to segregate animated movies off in their own category so they'd never have to compete. It seems logical that the same rule would apply for Best International Picture as well, but I suppose logical consistency would get in the way of performative wokeness.

You know that animated films can still be legible for best picture as both Up and Toy Story 3 were nominated for that category as well.

That's true, I remember them winning Best Picture those years and...oh wait, they didn't. Like they ever would have, since the Academy has an official ghetto for them.

Still you act like animated film category was made to make sure no animated film could get nominated for Best Picture despite that not being the case. Even if they didn’t win, animated films have shown to still have a chance of getting to best picture same with foreign films like Roma was nominated. You say that Parasite won for woke points even though the movie itself is not “woke” and the director didn’t use his acceptance time to grandstand about current hot button political takes.

So that they wouldn't win, my dude. Nominations aren't the point.

As for the wokeness, that's in the Academy itself mostly, who when faced with a slate of movies where the only choices were to give the award to a movie about white men or a foreign movie about Schrodinger's POCs went with the obvious choice because #OscarsSoWhite.
 
The reason the academy expanded the best picture category in 2009 was due to two critical and commercially successful films being shut out of Best Picture.

One was The Dark Knight. The other was WALL-E. The category expanded and in the next two years what happened? Up and Toy Story 3 were nominated. It takes time. But the right animated film at the right moment and it’ll happen.
 
I guess they should had listened to Ricky Gervais but no. https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-kn...iticizes-oscar-speeches-that-lecture-everyday

Ricky Gervais is warning celebrities against political speeches after a number of them spoke out at the Oscars over the weekend, saying that the comments to "everyday, hard working people" at Hollywood awards shows usually backfire.

"I have nothing against the most famous people in the world using their privileged, global platform to tell the world what they believe," the comedian and five-time Golden Globes host tweeted Monday, a day after the 92nd annual Academy Awards.

"I even agree with most of it," Gervais said to his more than 14 million followers. "I just tried to warn them that when they lecture everyday, hard working people, it has the opposite effect."

Timcast vlogged about these celebrities going as fat to quote the communism manifesto. I think Joe McCarthy is now vindicated.

One Youtuber posted this comment worth to share.

Jesus talk about a bunch of fucking faggots.




"The SJW's are so triggered that a movie like Joker will win best picture.... These SJW's are pushing wokeness by having a non American film win and now I'm triggered"

Jesus how fucking braindead are these people? If your on the right and don't see how fucking stupid your side looks right now seriously end yourself. 😒


Side note Parasite was pretty great. I liked Once Upon a Time better tho.

Eh... someone was always going to monetize the backlash to SJW bullshit, the same way SJW bullshit has been monetized. And the best place to see that, since the MSM is almost entirely SJW-centric, is online on platforms like YouTube. YouTubers like Sargon of Applebee's, shoeonhead, MundaneMatt, and even Maddox, briefly... they all disingenuously jumped on the anti-SJW bandwagon to make ad or Patreon money.

That's all I assume when I see stuff like this: people overreacting, and possibly intentionally so, for money. I ignore it like I ignore Fox News recommended videos.

EDIT: Also, lol @ this thumbnail in the mobile version.
