Iranian and liberal heads are exploding. This director might be a decent person and as an artist I don't like to ban art too much, but I think this is something as a nation we need to do when it concerns the Middle East. It's extreme and it might make people hate us more but too bad. The way I look at it is this: Iran doesn't play nice with us or Israel - it's still a gigantic sponsor of terror. If normal Iranians don't like this ban well...they need to then work within Iran to remove the Islamic dictatorship and foster a nation wide human rights movement. If this is done, the ban will be removed.

That will give the so-called celebrities lots of fodder to speak against trump at the award show. Will probably make sure he gets an Oscar so he can say a few words via the new internet.

FDR wouldn’t have let Leni Riefenstahl attend either. Unlike the Academy back then, this bunch would have nominated her very well directed works. My advice: try to sneak a surprise substitute Trump hasn’t banned from outside the US to accept in his place. Someone today’s Academy loves. Polanski!

[Secret Agent Man]

And i am just so torn up about that. /s

[Mean Daddy]

There’s no banning of art, just people.

[IronJack]

And I care why?

[Redmen4ever]

It would be an insult to the people of Iran if we didn’t demand a plane loaded with $100 million in cash as ransom for any Iranian caught on a soil, before releasing him. As, why shouldn’t we consider them equals to us?

When we get the $400 million back we paid for our four people, we could then reconsider the visa policy.

Don’t they have FedEx in Iran?

[Tennessee Nana]

unrealistic propaganda movie...

if she was raped she gets stoned to death...

and the rapist gets away with his crime...

apparently he didn’t show that part of Iranian real life.....

so its no loss that this guy might not get to come to the US..

[Tennessee Nana]

But HEY !!!

showing the moslems as rapists is real...

so maybe there is a redeeming tiny bit or two in that movie after all...

was the wife played by a German woman ???

[Tennessee Nana]

he doesn’t have to be here to win...they can send him the Oscar and save on pollution...

win win for the Lefties...

:)

[captain_dave]

Who?

[ROCKLOBSTER]

This director might be a decent person and as an artist I don't like to ban art too much, but...

BUT!...He might just make a movie that would cause Episcopalians around the world to go ballistic, and start rioting and killing people!

[libertylover]

Oh, yeah, the Oscars. That’s when Hollywood people arrive in limousines 20 feet long, step out wearing a dress they paid $20,000 for and while wearing jewelry they paid $1,000,000 for, then go in and bash red-state people for using too much of the world’s recourses.

[UglyinLA]

Asghar Farhadi film, The Salesman, is nominated for Best Foreign Language Film...

I believe this is the same category as the latest “Dora the Explorer” movie.

[georgiegirl]

Osghar cannot pick up his Oscar. Nice rhyme.

[AlaskaErik]

So what. Roman Polanski couldn’t attend the Oscars either. Who cares?

[PhiloBedo]

Dear Asghar,

Just Skype it, dude. You would have only needed to be there for a couple hours, anyway.

[Fightin Whitey]

Asghar Farhadi?

Dude never would have made it in my high school.

[Chickensoup]

We all make sacrifices in times of war.
