I don't even know what you're talking about, but I never ever watch any award shows to begin with anyway.

I liked what Jodie Foster said many many years ago, when asked about award shows.
 
Although I can't remember word for word, it was basically, "Since the awards are not based on anything accurate, relevant, meaningful or important, and are instead mostly just popularity votes and contests, I simply have no interest in them".
 
And she would be one, who many would agree, would be most deserving of them - many times over.
 
So I respected her for saying so and agreed with her about it from that day on.
 
Clearly, she's right. Much of the time, it can only be based solely on popularity in many cases, when you see who won on the news the next day - whether you want to or not.

Hahaha! Too funny.

it appears one of the favourites overlooked was Cate Blanchette apparently because of the lesbian overtones in the movie.
management have said they will address the membership regarding "the lack of diversity".
from memory the voting "members" are chosen for life and can pass their membership to family and have an average higher age even greater than the Coffee House.
let the moviegoers and viewers vote-we are the real critics..
 
rant over......... 
 
 
edit:or we could get Mosh to do the voting??
at least he`s one of us..

If you type ''Jodie Foster award speech'' into YouTube you'll see she's just another massive hypocrite.

Not in the same league with, say Miss Universe. Not a single lip-synching rapper.

It's hard to take the Oscars seriously anymore. Too many of its voters are Hollywood croonies that have no films in there and are no longer valid users and players, and they are voting for the things they will never see, and simply choosing a person they know. I would like to see the Academy close down its ranks and say that you have to see 80% of the nominees to qualify for voting on a given selection, but not able to vote in other selections if you did not see as many as you are supposed to.
 
The appreciation for "film" has been lost a long time ago, and at least the previous awards a couple of weeks ago, were much more centered on the work by people that actually worked in film, as opposed to the joke of the Oscars.
 
I'm glad to see things like SW get the finger, because those "mega movies" need to stop hurting the film going public that is convinced that is the only good thing out there ... and because of it, you are not going to see 3 or 4 of the top named films, and then think your emotional selection is the best ... you did not see the others to evaluate properly.
 
One of the ways to "keep the award" at home, is to make sure that the only nominees are people at home, and thus favorites, like Stallone and others, will get nods, when they don't need it and don't deserve it. But it's a thank you for all the money they helped make for many folks.

Star Wars .....    ...... Was it entertaining? Sure.....   ...

Isn't that all that matters?  It's not a technical documentary about the perils of space flight in an alien galaxy.  It's meant to be entertainment.
So if it entertains, then it's fulfilled its porpoise and deserves an Oscar...

If being entertaining is the only credential, then Cheech & Chong deserve Academy Award for their movies in my eyes. Along with many other types of movies I find entertaining but not deserved of this special honor.

I always watch the Oscars and cling to the hope that I'll be watching when the over paid turn on themselves in a petulant outburst. How can you take it seriously.

Sean Penn!!! Hahaha!

It's just my poor attempt at a joke. A few actors and directors are boycotting because there wasn't any black people nominated. I've seen a bunch of these movies, and I don't think any of them deserved to be myself. Creed was better than I was expecting, but was it Oscar worthy? No it wasn't. Will Smith made a football movie no one cared to see...was it Oscar worthy? I have no idea. Didn't care to see it. Anyway that's what the joke is about. I think we can all agree that getting that getting trophies for making movies or music is pretty stupid either way.
