Koray Savas 2,251 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 5 hours ago, KK. said: The whole "racism" thing was started by a group of very noisy celebrities, who were later dismissed by some more level-headed ones. Too bad by that time social media was already too taken with the headline. And I've seen about all the major nominees except Straight Outta Compton I guess. The racism thing is brought up every year when only white people are nominated. Then they are all quiet during the years where there is diversity.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 What will probably happen is that from next year the Academy will nominate a "token" black film to show how forward thinking they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Yes. The problem is that you can always say that even if discrimination is at work. It's a tricky issue since it's nearly impossible to prove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's just a hugely popular event so they use the platform to voice their stuff, which I don't mind at all outside of the ceremony.

This never happens. I remember when Song of the Sea only received a nomination and no win and it was one of the best films of that year. Bullshit everywhere. And there's always a ton of a variety of bias preventing things from being made, from being noticed, from being nominated and from winning. In the case of the Oscars, it's usually extremely easy to even compile a list of what they like to promote, and the characteristics of the Oscar's specific bias.

Bellosh 3,369 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I really want to see Williams win an oscar live. Unfortunately I didn't give a shit about film music back in 1993...was also only 9 years old. I thought I'd see it in 2012 with War Horse and was extremely disappointed with him losing that one. I really think he deserves to win with TFA. I want to see this happen tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not much fun just reading about the ceremony, so I'll find out all about it at 9am, and quietly sigh when I read Morricone among the winners' names.
