Daily reminder that the Oscars do not matter, they never have, and they almost always get every category wrong. It's nothing more than an industry coming together to pat itself on the back.
Don't give it the satisfaction of watching it. Watch a good film instead.
I'm proud to say that I have no idea what any of the Oscar nominees are this year, and I couldn't care less.
Now who wants to talk about Bane?
>tfw Bruce McCulloch is the best Kid in the Hall
Yeah you better start talking soon motherfucker
Yes good point, yes good point, user.
HOWEVER:
The oscars may not matter to you but they do for the actors, directors, and all crew involved.
Movies cost money and only what amounts to "near guranteed returns" in the opinion of the movie financiers is invested into these films.
If an actor who is considered good but not yet a box office draw despite being good at his craft sins an Oscar, that gives the actor leverage to get the parts they want, or the director to make the movies they want.
So when you watch the oscars think of individuals instead of the whole load of shit it is.
It's an exclusive club where "academic film analysts" judge movies accordingly is what we're led to believe.
Nowadays, it's run by a puppet negress along with a bunch of so-called "critics and reviewers" who give awards to shit movies even though the entire movie industry is complete fucking shit these days and continue to perpetuate a continuous decline in Hollywood ticket sales and revenue.
>"academic film analysts" judge movies accordingly
u wot?
It was always voted by "the Academy members," who are just actors, writers, and directors arbitrarily invited join.
There aren't any actual academics or seriously well versed people in the Academy save for a few directors and writers.
hey birdman was funny
>DURRRRRR OSCARS R BAD FUCK U IF YOU WATCH THEM ACTORS NAND MOVIES ARE SOOOOOOOOOO STUPID
You're all literally babies. Don't even bother replying to me nothing you say will mean anything and I'm leaving the thread anyway. I look forward to seeing this thread pop up in the catalog an hour later and getting to read the angry replies from losers who thought they could engage me in any form of "discussion"
The judging of Best Animated Film regularly shatters any semblance of integrity the awards have. Read some of the comments, they truly don't give a shit.
I truly believe that the reason Frozen won the Oscar that year is because most of the people voting hadn't seen Ernest and Celestine.
FUCK YOU, YOU STOLE MY QUINTS IN THE POINTY MAN THREAD
Those guys sure smoked
Fuck Pedowood and fuck you.
Thanks for the (you)
Where can I read their comments?
Frozen won because it was a good Disney animated film you little quint fuck. Zootopia will win this year for the same reason.
t. someone who hasn't seen Ernest and Celestine
THREAD'S OVER
CHECK EM
So it's like getting an award from your co-workers at the office Christmas Party.
Just on TV, with more expensive outfits and narcissism.

SAUSAGEEEESSSSS
I stopped caring after 2012. Not for any particular reason: I just didn't feel like following the results and, overall, didn't feel like the film industry (or the films they choose to best represent themselves) are relevant or interesting anymore.
Screenwriting has taken a massive dive in quality over the years, and it's one of the few categories that continually pisses me off when I eventually check the results.

Is it like an upvote or something? Maybe you should lurk more.
Didn't like him as much as a kid, but he's become my favourite now.
FUCK THE BANK
This one time, this one time, hey, this one time, this kid, in my class, watched the Oscars!
And he diiiiiiied.
Quints confirm this as the superior movie
It's well-known that most of the voters don't watch the majority of films they vote on. The only people who care about the Oscars are women and gays who watch for celebrity bullshit.
Agreed.
I only watch it because it gives me theater extravaganza feels.
zork warrior isn't and was never a thing
>Childhood is admiring Dave. Adulthood is realizing Bruce was right all along.
The Pixar/Disney film always wins. If there are two of them up for nomination, the Pixar one will always win. See Brave vs. Wreck-It Ralph for an example.
Same reason why Coraline lost out to Up.
