Scrimmjob - 2019-02-26 They'll never stop having them, but maybe people can stop pretending that they are important or mean anything.

If only spike lee wasn’t so racist the oscars might have finally ended racism

They need a separate award for Best White Guilt Movie of the year. The Blind Side and Crash could have won those easy.

They really are just refusing to award excellence for the Best Picture category, aren't they? I haven't been impressed with a single Best Picture winner since Slumdog Millionaire.

SolRo - 2019-02-26 Maybe if they restricted voting on best picture (and most other awards) to professional movie critics then it would work better, but the way it’s set up now we just get to see what a bunch of bored, white Hollywood insiders bothered to see and thought was best.
Surprised Spider-Man managed to win best animated movie though as there were two way whiter and more popular choices

Two Jar Slave - 2019-02-26 The Academy has responded to criticisms of being too white and too male by extending membership to ~600 women and/or people of colour in the last two years alone. That doesn't bring membership anywhere close to equal, but it shows the beginning of a demographic shift that will be reflected in the voting pretty soon.
However, the Academy will still make terrible decisions about Best Picture because when you poll 7,000+ people the well-constructed crowd-pleasers will always rise to the top, while films enjoyed more intensely by fewer people will always sink to the bottom. So don't worry, we'll all be complaining about Oscar picks until the heat death of the universe.

White Conservatives - "All black films and filmmakers are only nominated because of SJWs and affirmative action! Threaten them online and tear down their every accomplishment! Elect a racist to call Spike Lee illiterate from the White House!"
White Liberals - "We want to fight racism and honor filmmakers. But not in any way that makes us uncomfortable, so lets give the top award to white filmmakers and stories about how white people overcame racism and helped black people."
Black people - "None of this shit is surprising."

Really disappointed as I thought it was an adaption of Colonel Quadaffi's (peace be upon him) "Green Book". What a let down.
