Most of the time I have no idea what the best pictures are because I haven’t seen them. But Black Panther? I just don’t see what’s so special about it. Infinity War and Deadpool 2 were both better and in the same genre. Any movie that follows that same MCU outline does not deserve a Best Picture nom. However, most years there are movies that are nominated based on their social relevance and Black Panther was possibly the most prominent this year. That's not to say that's the only reason it got nominated since that would be pert near impossible. However, I think people truly loved it in part because of the shared experience of feeling they were watching something unique to the super hero genre. I personally thought the last quarter was too flawed and the effects were so bad to be distracting, but it certainly had set itself apart from the rest of the hero genre. I think nearly everything Black Panther is praised for outside of Michael B Jordan, Into the Spiderverse did better. Heck, I don;t even think some of the things Black Panther is praised for is even done very well in the movie. |

But it won Best Adapted Screenplay. Nor Chicago for Best Director or Best Adapted Screenplay. Nor Gladiator for Best Director or Best Original Screenplay. But not The Godfather, which did win screenplay. |

The bias and sjw moral stance of the Academy is becoming more and more apparent.
From perhaps the best horror film of the year HEREDITARY:
Toni Collette Actress
Alex Wolff Supp Actor

Well, in this case, you haven't put much thought into it. Usually when people go out of their way to not answer a question is because they can't. It's more noteworthy in a forum where you waste time and space writing things like this that you could've used just answering. |

No doc nod for Won't You Be My Neighbor astonished me. It's the only doc this year anyone is even talking about.
Then again, that branch has always been weird. No nods for Thin Blue Line in 88 and Hoop Dreams in 94? F**cking loonies.

Not surprising entirely but still, not even something for cinematography?
Mandy was deemed ineligible for Oscar consideration by the Academy. |

You are smart, think about it vits. I wouldn't have asked you without thinking about it first. I understand what Toasted Cheese is saying. He is saying that Hereditary was shut out because it is a horror movie that has no sjw agenda, and everybody know that the Academy has a bias against horror movies. Get Out was ONLY nominated for Oscars because it is a sjw movie. |

Mandy was deemed ineligible for Oscar consideration by the Academy. Really, how come? Mandy was released on VOD on Friday, September 14th. On the same day the film began showing at the Laemmle Monica Film Theater in Santa Monica, LA County. It ran for seven days, finishing on Thursday, September 20th. So from this, it would appear that Mandy would have been eligible, at least according to the online guidelines. But the reality was apparently contained in the comment on IndieWire, where it was stated to be eligible the film needs to have been “released in one week in Los Angeles with a minimum of three screenings per day.”
Mandy did not meet this requirement. |
