Now that they experimented with pandering to the # Twitter mob and “woke” crowd...
Will the Oscars just ignore the noise and go back to a prestigious program?
Just vote for the best “Actor” and “Actress” and “Film” etc... regardless of race or sexual orientation etc...
Also, stop trying to look “cool”.

Sorry to break this to you, but they were never a "prestigious" program. They've always been a joke and anyone with real regards to film as an art form should never take them seriously.

I don't care about the Oscars, they can do whatever they want.

They're probably not going to stop until they hit rock bottom in the ratings, by the looks of it.

I never knew anyone ACTUALLY watched it. I thought people just talked about it. Not surprised. People need to stop giving Twitter attention. Twitter isn’t the real world.

No they will probably start pandering more.

They should reintroduce the practice of having a main host again. The whole thing feels random and disjointed without one to tie things together.
I personally prefer the Saturn Awards.

Just vote for the best “Actor” and “Actress” and “Film” etc... regardless of race or sexual orientation etc... Also, stop trying to look “cool”. Translation from the conservative: when will they go back to only awarding white people. This is one reason I am almost glad Hopkins won instead of Boseman. So MAGAs wouldn't come crawling out saying that people of color couldn't possibly win without "political correctness," academy voters being "woke," or caving to political pressure. That's all the O.P. is talking about. "Just vote for the best “Actor” and “Actress” and “Film” etc... regardless of race or sexual orientation etc..." Why does the O.P. assume that this has not been done all along? The answer is clear: more and more women and people of color, esp. African-Americans are being nominated and winning. If this is happening then (to them) it is the result of "noise." It is not possible, in the conservative view, that other than white males can win on their own merit.

The show could really use another big-budget event film like Lord of the Rings or Titanic with lots of Oscar nominations.

You implication here is that Daniel Kaluuya won best actor because he's black, Youn Yuh-jung won best actress because she is Asian, Nomadland won best picture and best director because Chloe Zhao is.... Asian-American. The most diverse list of winners in Oscar history and you discredit them by calling it an "experimentation with pandering". Shame on you.

But I love how you went directly to a black actor winning as your example, not the many other races like two Asian winners in the same year Asian Hate is being reported.

It is well established I’m a Democrat, if you saw me in the politics board. I hated Trump. Voted for Obama 2x and Biden. I’m talking about the format of the show. Now look who’s jumping to conclusions. But... is it a coincidence an Asian woman won “Best Supporting Actress” and “Best Director” in a year when #StopAsianHate was so prevalent. That is an interesting coincidence... When will people stop assuming everything is about Black hate? Stop being narrow minded...

Just vote for the best “Actor” and “Actress” and “Film” etc... regardless of race or sexual orientation etc... Also, stop trying to look “cool”. You're joking, right? The winners in these categories were a straight white man playing a straight white man, a straight white woman playing a straight white woman and a film where the story is about a straight white woman. Also, both of these are arthouse films, not blockbusters. In fact, the Twitter mob wanted Chadwick Boseman to win yet he didn't.

Also, what do you mean by "the format"? is it a coincidence an Asian woman won “Best Supporting Actress” and “Best Director” in a year when #StopAsianHate was so prevalent. That is an interesting coincidence... Yes, because they've been winning awards for months. Now, if you argued that their work wasn't that good, we could discuss it, but assuming on your own without any evidence that they won just because of those characteristics? Oh, brother...

Out of interest, which of the nominated films and performances did you see, and which films and performances, that you have seen, should have been nominated in their place

Now, if you argued that their work wasn't that good, we could discuss it, but assuming on your own without any evidence that they won just because of those characteristics? Oh, brother... The voting is no longer objective. That’s the problem. Pandering to a crowd is racist ironically. If you believe that the year after #OscarsSoWhite black nominees went up 150% and in the year #StopAsianHate two Asian women win Oscars is all a happy coincidence... then I’ll sell you some ocean front property in Arizona my friend. Now, am I saying they don’t deserve it? No. My post went over your head. I’m saying that they should VOTE for (wait for it) ... WHO THEY THINK IS THE BEST! Not, “oh, there’s a lot of black controversy, let’s overlook this guy because he’s white and vote this black person.” Or “we need to honor Asian Americans because they are having a rough time.” It’s like all the people crying because Anthony Hopkins won “Best Actor” ... “Just give it to the same old white guys.” And I say “How about you watch his role, then tell me if you prefer Chadwick over him.” In conclusion, do I think all the nominees were great? Yes. Do I think the winners deserved it. Sure. What I’m saying is, and it seems like I have to dumb this down for SOME people on this board is, when you go into a vote thinking “okay, I like these 10 performances. 7 are white people, 2 are black people, and 1 is an Asian person. I better include the 2 black people, the 1 Asian person, and then if there is room left, two white people I like.” That’s when you’ve failed to make this an objective vote. Which invalidates the vote. TL;DR The Oscars should be about voting for the best performance. Not to honor people of diverse backgrounds just to pander to the masses. Voting only for people of color is racist. It’s no longer objective.

Nomadland was considered a frontrunner before the 'stop Asian hate' thing became prevalent. How do you explain the white people who won Oscars? Stop focusing so much on race and politics and just enjoy the movies.
