there was also Beasts of No Nation which Idris Elba got completely robbed for.

I still can't believe that they were so petty about it being a Netflix movie that they completely snubbed it.

I mean, I CAN believe it, but it's complete bullshit.

I didn't watch 12 Years A Slave because I read about Brad Pitt's role in that film and it sounded loving laughably lovely but this discussion has made me want to give it a go.

People played this up as "WHITE SAVIOR!!!!!" but Pitt's character is almost literally the same as in the book.

They can both be true, you know.

That's true, but I don't think it's wrong to fault the movie for using the character exactly as he was written.

Yeah no, I love La La Land but the sound mixing is unmitigated garbage. It's hard to hear 80% of the words said in that movie.

Rogue One should have been disqualified because of Tarkin and Leia.
