Your point is no less valid. It should have been nominated.
Black Panther wasn't even nominated for Visual Effects.
No Feev. Politics is film now. Now it's Politics, Religion, and Film you don't talk about at the dinner table.[/QUOTE]
I'm fucked then because film and sports is pretty much all I talk about.
Thanks, Ricky! You're right, I messed up your score. You have 12. Sorry. :(
The moment with Gaga and Cooper was kind of awkward, I thought I should look away at one point. I actually...
Well, another Oscar ceremony is in the books.
For the first time in 3 years, we have a sole winner without having to go to the tiebreaker!
Servant - 18
Lurker - 15
Matt - 15
T-Dogz - 15...
You might be 100% correct on that one. I went back and forth thinking the same thing.
Matt, I will use your picks from here as official.
I'm still en route. I'm hoping to be home by showtime.
My picks are in! I have to work tomorrow and will be cutting it close for showtime, so I'm locking them in now. Good luck to everyone.

You can post your picks here or you can fill out the form. Sometimes people do both so everyone can see their picks. For people who submit a form, I'm able to export a file and it does make it...
The Rules
Oscar night is right around the corner, so I'm going to post the rules for those who might not be familiar with them. Please tell your friends from other boards to come on over and join...
Industry outsiders? That makes no sense whatsoever. Sometimes when you try so hard, it backfires.
Just keep it simple stupid.
In a perfect world that would be the case.
I see that as a chicken and egg situation. Do audiences not care about smaller films anymore because their tastes have changed, or has their taste...
The Academy is out of touch. There should be people telling them that these ideas are stupid before they put them in place.
A lot of my favorite films aren't nominated and there's been a lot of bullshit, but I still always look forward to the show.
The Oscars are no longer a celebration of film. It's a celebration of celebrity. That is a terrible trend to set.
Yeah, I agree. I applaud them for trying to tweak things and change, but some things don't need to be changed. The show is long, we know that, but it's one night a year. Suck it up.
It's like...
I was just about to post about this. I'm disgusted by this choice. I know most people don't care, but I love those categories. It sends a terrible message. The people who work in those fields...
Here is the online ballot I created for this year. If someone would be so kind to double check my work to make sure I didn't make any mistakes, it would be appreciated.

Agree with all of this. Blank Panther is this year's Get Out.
And I like how your bitterness is still intact. :lol:[/QUOTE]
No way! Get Out was much more deserving of the Best Picture Oscar...
