The 91st Academy Awards (2019) - Predictions, Disscussion, Aftermath .

[Quijibo69]

For the first time in my life I watched this thing. It's safe to say I'll never make that mistake again.

Little late and a bit off-topic, but I gotta comment on this, because this is the truth. Spike Lee was a huge fan of Malcolm X. If you see his films, you'll always see a quote from X in there somewhere, and Malcolm X was like the exact opposite of MLK. A radical, religiously indoctrinated stooge for the Nation of Islam who only joined MLK's train in HIS LAST FEW MONTHS, who previously protested for violence and hatred against white people. You see that in all of Spike Lee's films, it's the presentation of problems with no solutions, but only a solution through the answer of nihilism. Spike Lee is a pathetic grump of a man who had 4 good movies and a whole library of shit.

Exactly. It's very telling to me that his inspiration for his film messages is Malcolm X of all people instead of MLK. I saw a comment that the real reason Spike Lee was angry at the Green Book win is because that film is more positive with the message on racism instead of Lee's usual movies that are racism and "look at happened to black people in history" and his usual victimhood message with no positiveness at all. The more I've seen how he talks and acts the more I'm believing this.

I haven't really cared about the Oscars in a while, personally. But I enjoy seeing talented people that I like being recognized and rewarded (even if it's just Hollywood giving prizes to themselves). Guys like Lanthimos, Koreeda, Cuarón, Pawlikowski etc. must know it's a sham. But I'm sure they don't feel too bad about it.

All I can say is that this was a garbage show for the most part. Only thing that redeemed it was the plethora of salt that came out of leftist film Twitter and other "social media" platforms after Green Book won the big prize (I'll get to that later).

PROS:

• No host (I.E; No Jimmy Kimmel)
• "Bao" winning animated short
• "Shallow" winning best original song
• Into the Spider Verse winning animated feature
• Spike Lee winning his first Oscar (though his speech was a total trainwreck)
• Alfonso Cuarón winning 3 Oscars in the same night
• Olivia Colman winning in an upset
• That beautiful and comfy "Shallow" performance with Cooper and Lady Gaga

CONS:

• Both “openings” (that “Queen” medley, and those “””jokes””” with 3 nobodies I don’t care about; Maya Rudolph, Tina Fey, and Amy Poehler - why does Hollywood keep trying to force this trifecta of unfunny on me?)
• Kangz: The Motion Picture winning literally anything
• The Favourite not winning costume and production design
• Bohemian Rhapsody winning both sound awards and film editing
• Rami Malek winning for a pathetic, one-note impression over Bale and Cooper
• The never ending leftist lectures on how diversity is our strength, womanz are so empowered, DRUMPF, white men are bad, etc etc etc.
• Green Book winning original screenplay
• Green Book winning best picture

Found some gems while salt mining.

Seriously, I don't see how anyone could actually watch this movie about a highly respected, cultured, educated black man being chauffeured around by a fat nearly-illiterate goomba bouncer, and come away with the impression that the white guy "saved" the black guy, or anybody for that matter. I don't think they even watched the movie. They just saw the trailer, saw some leftist circlejerk “woke” articles from the MSM, and made assumptions. Even the fried chicken scene that had people all butthurt, was a fat white guy who loves greasy chicken, eats like an animal, and doesn't mind littering, while the black man can't bring himself to eat with his hands because he's too fancy. I dunno what else these African Americans & SJW's want, honestly. Didn't 12 Years a Slave and Moonlight win a couple of years ago? These people will never be happy... then again, as the saying goes: "if you give a mouse a cookie".

Anyway, it don't matter. None of this matters. Nearly everyone in Hollywood is an absolutely terrible person, so they try to mask it by proclaiming how progressive and inclusive they all are. It's all fake.

I think this is all a given, considering the man literally directed the biopic for Malcolm X.

To be fair most people toned down their politics. Spike was the only one who couldn't keep his mouth shut, but what else is new. I'm probably on the minority on this one but for the first time in years I actually enjoyed the Oscars.

 

[SteelPlatedHeart]

You know, I knew almost next to nothing about Spike Lee save that he made some good movies and that one joke in early Family Guy about how he writes white characters.

Then I watched a Let’s Play of NBA2K16: Livin’ Da Dream’s story mode(directed by Spike Lee) and oh wow.

 

[CWCissey]

She's the Susan Lucci of the Oscars. I do admire Glenn Close's graceful loss reaction compared to Spike Lee who had a childish tantrum and tried to storm out of the fucking building like the sore loser he is. Ungrateful asshole. I admired how nice she was about the whole thing.

She lost to Olivia Colman, after her performance in The Favourite, Glenn Close legit can't be mad and she knows it.

 

[SteelPlatedHeart]

It bothers me how many people are praising Spike Lee for how he acted on Twitter.

Then I remember it’s Twitter

I know no one gives a shit about live action shorts, but the winner Skin was literally about a white supremacist beating a black man near to death in front of his family, then being kidnapped by a black gang, tattooed pitch black, and then being shot to death by his 7 year old son.

Do you honestly expect these people to pay attention to something that's kinda obscure?

 

[Doctor of Autism]

Why does "Vice" exist? I'm firmly against the very existence of this movie.

Hollywood is completely crazy.

• No box office success.
• No public interest
• No awards or prizes
• no nothing
• It's not good either

It's a black hole, this movie is literally nothing.

The only thing Vice had going for it was Christian Bale's acting.

 

[BrunoMattei]

I liked Vice.

 

[The Nothingness]

I have question that hope does not come off as me sperging but what is the cutoff for a film to be nominated to one of the top categories? What I am referring to is the fact that Black Panther came out in February of last year and the Oscar-bait movies tend to be released towards the end of the year. I guess with BP hitting big at the box office (before being dethroned by Infinity War) and the media hype, the Academy included it in the Best Picture category to attract viewership at the possibility it would win. It kind of reminds me of when Mad Max: Fury Road was nominated for Best Picture several years ago even though it had no shot of winning. I think that was around the time they expanded the number of Best Picture entries.

That shit was almost literally a gag in one of the Toxic Avenger movies.

Any movie released the previous year is eligible for an Oscar. Most of them just come out near the end of the year so that they’re fresh in people’s mind. It’s the same reason why January is usually when a bunch of crap movies get dumped out: so people quickly forget about them and move on.

Shut up, goy. Stop being a bigot and quit noticing things.

Gosh. This must be unintentional comedy gold.
