- this was the funniest and most entertaining oscars i can remember. if not nominating any black actors makes for such a funny show, they should not nominate any black actors every year
- tracy morgan deserves an emmy for his oscar performance
- so the revenant won best actor, best director and best cinematography, but it didn't win best picture. i guess the screenplay really sucked.
- i laughed when donald trump pulled a kanye during inarritu's best director acceptance speech, saying "i'ma let you finish, but Ben Stiller made one of the best films of all time: Zoolander 2!" and then gave a 30-minute speech about how mexican directors are all a bunch of rapists stealing american jobs
- mad max won a bazillion oscars, but not best picture. i guess the screenplay, acting, cinematography, and directing really sucked.
- i've seen Rocky, which means when Stallone lost the best supporting actor oscar, he really won after all, right?
- spotlight won best picture, despite only winning one other major category. that must have been the greatest screenplay of all time.
- i loved the ending, when all the protesters stormed into the theater and took various celebrities hostage. it was particularly awesome watching jada pinkett smith decapitate matt damon on live TV. thank zod for harrison ford and unikitty, though, swooping in at the last minute to save the day. things were getting a bit out of hand, and when shia labuff showed up and started rapping about #OscarLivesMatter, i thought things might end badly for everyone. but han shot first (though a little late, or we could have avoided that whole kingdom of the crystal skull situation), unikitty impaled a few documentary filmmakers, and order was restored.

TheBaxter wrote:Razzie nominations are out
man, talk about a lazy list. of course BvsS is gonna be on there. but putting affleck and cavill as worst actors just because they toplined that film? so lazy.
there was plenty wrong with BvsS but the performances were the least of that film's problems. it's like they just looked at their list of worst films and picked whatever actors were top billed for those films without actually bothering to consider their actual performances. the rest of their nominations seem just as lazy and obvious.

Are people really going to get bent out of shape over a deadpool "snub"? What category(ies) do you think it deserved a nomination for?

How did they do on nominating African Americans this year? Are we going to get a hashtag movement again?

Hollywood knows how to do things with subtlety.
So, this year, ALL the nominees will either be black or wearing blackface.

"totally innocent" and "not a murderer" are not the same thing. but glad to see you you're buying into the Trumpian idea of absolutes these days. must be a good feeling for you.
still, i'll give you this: you might've been right about peyton manning

Fuxake just 'cos these directors don't make a movie suitable to get them a nomination for a few years (Wolf of Wall Street - Best Director nomination 2014, Bridge of Spies - Best Film 2016!), that dumb site is already jumping to conclusion and desperate thesis's. It's so hard to get an Oscar nomination anyway, how often do you think directors need to keep getting those noms to deem them 'accepted' by the Academy??
Fried Gold wrote:Spielberg often makes movies that don't tend to fit into that category of "released in three cinemas in Los Angeles in the last week of December" that gets them an Oscar nomination.
He's about to make a film about an 18th century pope with Mark Rylance, so I would wager that it'll be Oscar worthy.

I have an interesting idea on how those "old generation" directors can get back in the game: make better movies than the "new generation" directors.
