Oscars snub Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth sequel

Is climate change losing its luster as an issue for the Hollywood left? Or have so many "Inconvenient Truths" about global warming been debunked that it has forced Hollywood into an embarrassed silence?

The sequel to Al Gore's 2006 documentary An Inconvenient Truth released in 2017 and titled An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power, failed to pick up a single Oscar nomination. The 2006 film won "Best Documentary" and "Best Song."

Hmmmm. What's going on here? Are there maybe some allegations of sexual misconduct looming for manbearpig? Hollyweird distancing themselves from him? What' bobby redford's take on this?

At least one person has to watch the entire film before it can be nominated. ..

Maybe it just sucked - not just as a stupid political statement but as a movie.

Even liberals thought his sequel was stupid and mostly fabrications.

Can someone PLEASE tell me WTF “truth to power” means?

Is that like empowerment? I dont know what that means either.

Or “strong women roles”?

The oscars have their own language.

Like Ebonics.

It’s libonics.

Heh. When you don’t get nominated and Una Mujer Fantástica (about Chilean trannies) does, you sure have sunk really low in the liberal universe.

I thought nobody watching or otherwise interested in a movie automatically made it a number one contender for an oscar

What about “bitter little man found face down in a ditch”? Or whatever it was.

best song?

McCarther Park?

Spring was never waiting for us, girl
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance
Between the parted pages and were pressed
In love’s hot, fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants

MacArthur’s Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don’t think that I can take it
‘Cause it took so long to bake it
And I’ll never have that recipe again

Oh no!

I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave
On the ground around your knees
The birds, like tender babies in your hands
And the old men playing checkers by the trees

MacArthur’s Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don’t think that I can take it

What an f-tard world we are living in.

The first one had no romance at all.

Ya know, it ain’t that hard to understand you can’t leave a cake out in the rain. ;-) I always hated that song.

Uh, I don’t think its a snub if the movie was a POS to begin with.
