Black Panther pandering seems mostly limited to a token best pic nomination, thankfully. They didn't even put it up for visual effects, which was genuinely surprising.

I'm betting it's down to Bale or Viggo for Best Actor, almost certainly Adam Driver for best supporting actor, and I'm not familiar enough with the various movies to predict any of the actress nominations. Interesting that 3 of the 10 actress nominations are all from one movie, the Favourite. It's also a complete joke that McKay is getting a best Director nom for Vice, what with that movie's Film School-tier structure and gimmicky editing.

I don't care about any of this. I just want Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse to win best animated film.
I haven't even seen the movie and I agree with you. I'm overly optimistic because both Disney films listed on the nominations this time are mediocre at best. I don't really care about the Oscars, I just want to encourage more interesting animation...
 
All I'm seeing for Best Picture is Black Panther, Bohemian Rhapsody, Black Klansman, and a bunch of pretentious Oscar Bait hipster shit nobody outside of the Academy cares about, let alone has actually seen.

Aside from including the shitty and overrated MCU drivel that is Black Panther, it's the same shit as every other Academy Awards event.

Honestly, Black Panther is just a token "popular film" included to boost ratings and appear "woke" to appeal to Millennials. It's not going to win Best Picture or any of the non-technical categories.

It's sort of like when The Dark Knight was almost nominated for Best Picture back in 2008 solely because Heath Ledger died and we all knew it would not win, even if it did get nominated.

Same shit, different day.

Both Disney films are mediocre sequels with superior first films. If we we're talking about pitting Spiderman against the first Incredibles that'd be challenging choice.

Spiderman stands alone among these films and I freakin' love Isle of Dogs.

>A Star is Born
>"hipster shit"


Most of the people I've seen that like it are Moms and Lady Gaga fans.
I freakin' love Isle of Dogs.
I can't believe it took me that long to get the pun in the title.

I don't understand why they have to nominate Black Panther for best picture. It's not going to win. It's an obvious attempt to rally people outside of the core audience for network TV award shows (old people) to watch this four hour jerk off session.

(The Oscar ratings are terrible year by year, they need blacks and younger generations to tune in)
 
Black Panther is only there to throw a bone at the blacks, which will not shut them up, because they will still call racism if they don't win it.

But i wouldn't be surprised if BlacKKKlansman wins it, eventhough this is not Spike Lees best movie, not to mention Spike Lee is one of the biggest hypocritical pieces of shit walking around.
 
What will society do to combat racism and promote equality next year now that Black Panther has run it's course?

Black Panther was in Infinity War and will likely appear in Endgame, there will also be a Black Panther 2 more likely than not and there's a chance that after Endgame that Captain America will be black (as Falcon would take over).

There's also room for Iron Man to be black (Ironheart from the comics) and Spider Man to be black (Miles Morales, from the comics and also in some recent games/Spiderverse movies).
 
It's sort of like when The Dark Knight was nominated for Best Picture back in 2008 solely because Heath Ledger died and we all knew it would not win, it was a cheap ratings grab attempt.

Same shit, different day.

It was The Dark Knight NOT getting nominated that led directly to shit like Black Panther getting in. After 2008, and the outcry of both TDK and Wall-E getting snubbed, the Academy changed its nomination rules and opened up the picture category from 5 to 10 in hopes that more populist fare would get in. Changed it again a year or two later to “at least 5 and up to 10”.

So congrats Academy, it only took you ten years to finally get comic book shit in the Best Picture race and by now absolutely no one but ten people on twitter give a damn.
 
Given BlackKklansman also got a nomination it's clear this isn't a "diversity" move but a pandering one. There's a large audience for capeshit and a media who fawned over Black Panther when it was released because Black Superhero. They're just trying to boost their TV ratings and also maybe distract from the Kevin Hart furore.
 
Black Panther will not be up for best picture but it will win best visual effects somehow even though it shouldn't have made it to the short list.
Bohemian Rhapsody will not be up for any major award.
Hereditary and You Were Never Really Here will not be up for any awards even though they should.
Trump will be named drop at least 3 times.
Metoo/times up will be said at least 2 times.
Best Foreign Language Film will go to Roma.
Isle of Dogs won't be up for best animated movie, much like how Lego Movie was snubbed.
Green Book wins best picture but Viggo Mortensen isn't up for best actor due to saying nigger.
Meryl Streep will somehow be up for an award again.
A Quiet Place is rightfully not up for any awards.
Lady Gaga will be up for best actress but will lose to Olivia Colman in The Favourite.
Mary Poppins Returns will win best song confusing everyone.
Robert Redford will win best actor due to the whole retiring from acting and this being his last role.
I was way off with Bohemian Rhapsody and Black Panther, they even put up Vice, they have less of a taste than I could have thought lol. Spike Lee up for best director is a joke, he is unable to end any of his movies in a good way, all of them do some dumb shit at the end you could easily just edit out and the movie would have been far better for it, also Blindspotting was better than Blackkklansman.

To add to the snubs, Suspiria should have been up makeup, production design and best supporting actress for Tilda Swinton.
Ethan Hawke not up for best actor for First Reformed.
I guessed Hereditary would be snubbed but it still sucks Toni Collette isn't up for anything.
Aquaman and Annihilation for best visual effects, should have taken the place of Ready Player One and Christopher Robin.

The Favourite and Roma feel like the only two movies up for best picture that legit should be, Oscars has been shit for a long time, just a new low right now.
 
Seems like a pretty lame list. I usually try to watch some of the Oscar bait each year but nothing is standing out to me.
I guess I'll watch Vice and The Favourite, if I hate them at least I can have fun complaining about it.
