The Academy Awards is a glorified trade show. He should consider it an honor to be excluded.

Meanwhile, AlGore’s Mockumentary won the gold-flake award for a hilarious movie by a failed ministry student who switched to law and barley passed and who then became a senator because of his daddy’s political ties, who purchased a mansion that consumes as much electricity as a small town, and who decided, after so much success that he was, after all, a prophet of meteorology who had to save the world and make a few billion dollars on the Chicago “carbon credits” exchange in the process.

If all of the Conservative working in Hollywood in back of the camera or ‘below the line’ would speak up, these prancing bigmouthed Progressive Liberals would never come out of their from door. How come all these Progressive or Socialist actor’s union members will travel to foreign countries to participate in killing their own occupation with such disgusting run-away production? I am sure the talented production union members see this as a sick double standard worth earning their disgust. Being a unethical Progressive means union actors never have to say, “I’m sorry or I made a mistake”. When they clearly and obviously have.

Box office numbers irrelevant.

I did not find the film worthy of an award.

I agree. The movie said all the right things but it just wasn't very well done.

Passion of the Christ which saved the industry years ago did not get a nomination, and we expect this?

I think the Oscar has become some kind of foreign commie award that Americans are not allowed to win. This would explain why D’Souza is not eligible to win one.

I no longer care at all to watch as these overpaid morons who pretend for a living pretend to be happy that someone else won the award they’d sell their souls for. Clap clap clap...with tight little smiles. LOL

However, I really liked the Life of Pi.

Ang Lee, the director of the above movie also gave us BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN.

Didn’t see Brokeback because of the subject matter but Life of Pi was wonderful IMO.
