Seriously, the only reason why Sing Street isn't on the list and La La Land is because its about Hollywood / has big stars. Its a loving travesty. Also the guy behind Drive and Neon Bible's soundtracks never being recognized for poo poo. EDIT: At this point Meryl Streep is stopping the recognition of younger stars.

Re the Hollywood reapproachment with Gibson, it in no way coincides with his recent signing with CAA, after breaking it off with his long-term manager. To suggest otherwise....would be pish posh!

Steve Yun posted:Think back over the years about all the films that got nominated because of the underlying story being respectable and not because of any exceptional artistry in the crafting of the film. Hidden Figures, Imitation Game, Selma, etc. You know after avoiding it like the plague cuz of the all the talk about it not deserving an Oscar, caught most of the Danish Girl on HBO. Not bad. Not the best of the year material, but a pretty affecting story.

china bot posted:the problem is that working in Hollywood, at least in a capacity that allows you to get invited to join the Academy, doesn't require you to have any scholarly sense of what makes a film objectively good or bad. quote:The last three ballots kind of cover the entire range of attitudes towards voting.

Josh Lyman posted:The details matter here. quote:I spent this afternoon laughing and crying with Gary and Vicky,” public defender Karen Nash posted Monday on Facebook. “For those of you who missed it, I spent years working on Gary’s case. He got a life sentence for stealing perfume in 1997, and we finally won release this year. He got out on Friday, and was sight seeing with his lovely fiancé Vicky. If you watched the Oscars, you know the rest.” http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/gossip/la-et-mg-oscars-gary-from-chicago-prison-20170228-htmlstory.html I don't know you irl, but you seem like a sucky person. edit; yeah there are other crimes, but he did his time and more. Ascribing his worth based on crimes based on poverty is loving terrible. He did his time.
