I can't comment any further, as I haven't seen the film yet. Is it right wing propaganda? It's more saying that there are different kinds of racism, and that it's not just the right wing or Southern types that are guilty. Hmmmm! Interesting! Thanks. |

Hollywood is liberal and they have endorsed this film. If it was having a go at them, why all the accolades? |

Because it makes them feel good to recognize that in themselves, or because they actually liked the movie, or didn't understand it.

The academy must think this is a better and more intelligent film than Blade Runner 2049, not to mention some of their other choices for best picture.  |

Best actor, Best picture, best director, best original screenplay. Not bad as the Oscars don't usually give too many nods to the horror genre. All won Oscars The Exorcist Silence Of the Lambs ALIEN/ALIEN Sleepy Hollow Rosemary's Baby The Fly Misery Black Swan An American Wearwolf in London Jaws The Omen Bram Stokers's Dracula Whatever happened to Baby Jane Phantom of the Opera Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde |

But hardly any of those get into best picture or director categories. Cinematography, production design, editing, sound, and other categories that they see as technical categories are easier for them to award in the genre. But only a handful of those titles were taken seriously enough to be included into the major award categories. Before this year Black Swan, I believe, was the last nominee in the genre for best pic and director before this year. Before that I believe it was The Sixth Sense, and before that I believe it was Silence of the Lambs. Kind of big gaps there, but maybe it's changing a bit. |

It makes October more exciting to look forward too. Right now I think Get Out is about a couple of Nazi's torturing their daughters boyfriend, I could be wrong but I have plenty other non horrors to watch till then |

It survived a huge backlash to claim an award for Best Screenplay. Good job. No it didn't. It had enormous good will behind it. Any backlash your perceiving is imaginary. |

Silence of the Lambs, Black Swan, Misery, Jaws, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, Sleepy Hollow are arguably not horror films at all. |

I saw it as sort of having a go at liberals who have a 'holier than thou' attitude in regards to racism. Hollywood is liberal and they have endorsed this film. If it was having a go at them, why all the accolades? As is usually the case with white liberals, their GIGANTIC egos don't allow them to see when they are the being laughed at. Perhaps some of them were able to see they were the punchlines but just "suffered" in silence as "punishment" over that terrible guilt of being born white in a nice cushy safe blue state. What a terrible burden for all those silly white folks. I can just hear the conversation now. "Oh Buffy. I dare say that film was insulting us. It's quite vexing to be picked on by that Director of Color. It's not as if we live in the South." "Yes Skip. I believe he has shaded us as they like to say in the inner city. Oh my. Now I have referred to African Americans as they. Perhaps we really are monsters. Cancel our creme brulee so that I shall suffer as those poor people of color do................in the South." "I shall do that now dearest. Don't despair though. If we ever meet an actual African American I'm sure we will become the bestest of friends. Now where is that waiter? Probably taking a nap somewhere. I believe he has Latino blood and you know how lazy they are." "Oh Skip. You are such a cad. Tee hee hee" #whiteliberalssoclueless |
