wow
While I’m not too surprised or anything, it’s pretty clear the Oscars this year were to cater to the foreign media markets than the American ones. They’re going to make Zhao the new Boon-Jung Ho when he won one for Parasite.

Please please please tell me the ratings are down the septic tank again.
I mean, I didn't even know the Oscars were on today until I saw the newsfeed in my phone. Pretty sure most people forgot as well.

Here in Brazil, we have a neat meme that translates to "Cool Social Critique," made to mock obvious attempts to sound deep, smart and socially conscious, but usually either falling flat, being subtle as a sledgehammer swing to your face, eliciting the wrong message or just not making sense whatsoever.
And this is one such example of Cool Social Critique.

So yeah, they were really bad this year, worst one I've seen and I've watched every year for the last 19 years.
I will give Tyler Perry a lot of credit for his speech, all this endless Wokeness and here's Tyler Perry speaking something a lot more truthful, it was kind of incredible to be honest.
It's heartbreaking to see it reduced to this, here I go waxing nostalgic about the 2000s again but even 2000s "Oscar bait" movies like The Last Samurai that people used to roll their eyes at are still a hell of a lot more interesting than most of what gets nominated these days and the Oscars were always a really entertaining show back then.
Good art really can make your life better by being something truthful, what we're seeing happen today is art being replaced by propaganda, how can you look at something like that Black Panthers movie and not see it as closer to something like Triumph of The Will than a real movie? (and if I'm wrong about that movie and someone actually seen it, please let me know, but it's not something I want to watch.)

Movies really meant a lot to me as well, I used to be really big into the whole Hollywood glitz and glamor.

The only thing that matters to me in these types of awards shows are the In Memoriam mainly to see how and who they pay tribute. I always enjoyed it for the music and the little suprises on who they give attention too. This year's In Memoriam felt rushed, but my love for Stevie Wonder saved it from being insulting.
The best part of these sections are seeing people get mad that their favorite celeb/artist didnt get a bigger tribute, like Van Halen's little tribute pissing off many a boomers n shit.
Also I had no idea that Yaphett Kotto died, R.I.P.
Daniel Johnston getting a unexpected in memoriam nod is the only good thing the Grammys have ever done, nothing will peak that...

You're talking about Judas and the Black Messiah and not the capeshit, right? I've seen the former, but not the latter.

Eh, by next year you would probably forget it, like all Oscars. Shit, I even forgot BP got nominated all them years ago.

Probably wouldn't have been as bad if they hadn't made a golden effigy in his likeness and then handed it out as a goody bag treat.

The Oscars have been just a means for the Hollywood elites to blow smoke up their own ass for a long time now. With their growing focus on social commentary and SJW politics, it has become unbearable to watch these events, they have become the Hugo Awards of movies. It's one thing to give an award to some artsy-fartsy navelgazing oscarbait movie, but now the criteria for even being eligible are so insanely stupid that it has become literally meaningless to get an Oscar.
That being said, I am glad that good movies don't just disappear or stop being made. I might have to wade through a lot of raw sewage to find new movies that don't suck, but stuff like 1917 and Joker at least tell me there are still good movies being made, that aren't run-off-the-mill capeshit or SJW-propaganda tailor made to suck up to the ideology of preachy Hollywood child molesters.
And if push comes to shove, there's always the classics.

What really caught me off guard and bummed me out was I had no idea the filmmaker Alan Parker had died and he died all the way back in last July and somehow I had no idea.
I was just recently watching clips from Midnight Express and Pink Floyd: The Wall too, not knowing he had passed away a while ago, RIP.
Judas and the Black Messiah is the name of the movie I was thinking of.

I'd give it a watch if I were you. I was worried that the filmmakers were going to disregard Fred Hampton's outreach to poor white and Latino communities in favor of the race narrative, but they actually spent a good deal of time emphasizing how Hampton truly tried to unite the lower class. There were also a couple of scenes where he advocates nonviolence even though those around him are keen on accelerationism.
It's absolutely a left-wing movie and likely portrays Hampton in a much more sympathetic light than reality, but I was really impressed with the focus on Hampton's class-first politics when it could have easily been made woke to appeal to its target audience.

Well good, I'm glad to hear it was more of a real movie than a purely hagiographic portrayal of the Black Panthers, maybe I will give it a watch.

Honestly the only why I will ever watch the Oscars. If an actor got a award and than shouted "I'm Republican and Biden and Harris suck ass!!" But that will never happen so I'm never watching the Oscars.
