The more homos in them the more likely they are to get nominated.
I wonder what the attendance numbers were for that silly WaPo retro fantasy involving Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep? Probably not that impressive either, eh?
All those films are about gay cowboys eating pudding.
I guess they forgot that really totally awesome academy award winning movie "Titanic".
Darkest Hour was beautifully shot. I’m glad it I saw it on the big screen. I loved Dunkirk too. Haven’t seen the others. I don’t generally bother with movie trash.

There was a thread a month or so ago about famous Oscar losers (Gone With the Wind) and not-so-memorable winners. My favorite Oscar-winning stinker - Chariots of Fire
As the blockbusters become more and more beholden to the beat book the kind of experimentation that leads to best pictures is being relegated more and more to “niche”. Hollywood used to be willing to experiment on big budget movies, but not anymore.
“As it stands, this is the lowest-grossing crop of best picture contenders since 2011, a fact that should be sending shivers up the spine of ABC executives as they brace for the March 4 telecast.”
No, no, no. The author, Lang, doesn’t seem to understand that the point of the Oscars is to bash Trump, average Americans, good taste, Christianity, etc. It’s also about patting Hollyweird on the back for advancing indecency and the bubble they live in. It has nothing to do with ratings. They would put it on TV even if almost no one watched it.
Filthy language, ugly actors, bad scripts, anti-American and anti-cop antics...what’s the point of going to the movies when you can watch CNN?
Anytime Hollywood endorses anything it is political. Haven’t been to a movie in well over a year and that was to religious movie heavily endorse by our church!!
I agree the theatre experience is not what it used rot be. Also some off these are thoughtful and have adult dialogue in an age when the attention span is 90 seconds.
I lost interest in the Oscars after watching the award winning “Unforgiven”. I just didn’t get all the hoopla and frankly found the movie quite boring. After that I realized most things nominated are boring or dumb as shit.
