I really hope James Caan couldn't make it or something, because that'd be lovely if they left him out on purpose.

Norm MacDonald and/or Bob Saget

I thought the metric for inclusion was some level of involvement in films nominated for Oscars. Would either of them really count?

Now Meatloaf though, that seems like a definite oversight.

drat, Lin Manuel denied that EGOT again.

That one is honestly a matter of time given his involvement with Disney. Dos Oruguitas was the wrong choice from the get-go.

I keep remembering that they cut awards for technical categories to fit in more Amy Schumer and my mind loving disconnects from my body.

Was Penelope Cruz's film shot like a soap opera on purpose?

When Moana came out I bored some friends with my screed about how You're Welcome would be less effective with a talented singer performing it. The kind of fame and adoration that surrounds a massive star like The Rock is probably not all that dissimilar from how the protagonists in oral histories would have been viewed throughout history. Especially with one of the character's main traits in the film being his active participation in his own myth-making, which dovetails nicely with The Rock's own history of carefully cultivating his personal brand. It's inspired casting, and it helps sell You're Welcome as this playfully self-aggrandizing song from the world's most popular clout chaser.

The song was fine the constant cuts to the choreographed dances was lame. And they forgot Norm

I wanted to see what the criteria for inclusion was, and apparently it's this:

quote:

The final decision of whether or not a person is included depends on that person's level and quality of contributions to the movie industry.

Which is a grade A :iceburn: towards the folks you leave out.

The discourse over Oscar winners is always lame because when a movie wins, it immediately becomes the barrel-scraping Oscar bait that was always destined to win. See the minute and a half of this being applied to La La Land before everyone had to switch gears and give the same label to Moonlight.

Even if something like Get Out had won against the Shape of Water, folks would have crawled out of the woodwork to say how it was obviously going to win so that white liberals in the Academy could show that they could take a joke at their expense.

This is just a slap on the wrist.

He's barred from attending the biggest entertainment industry event for a decade. In what universe is that a slap on the wrist? What other consequence is even available to an organization that basically does nothing but host events?
