CoolioD1 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Shouldn't it also get best animated film and best documentary? But to be serious for a second, the Hobbit movies have been unfairly overlooked in the animated film category. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

water Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Ah, well then the song's disqualified. But hey, at least now we can hear water complain about sexism in Academy policies. like how the hunger games franchise isn't taken seriously because it's a "dumb ya series for annoying teen girls" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Nicholas Meyer is a nice guy and was very generous to a young tongue-tied newbie. You should have told him he needed to make more movies. Maybe he could have saved the Prequels like he saved Star Trek twice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuardiaStar Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Are you, are you Coming to the tree They strung up a man They say who murdered three Strange things did happen here No stranger would it be If we met at midnight In the Hanging Tree when you hear everyone else singing along to the song, I get chills..

Dark Jedi Master 007 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) like how the hunger games franchise isn't taken seriously because it's a "dumb ya series for annoying teen girls" I'm not going to get into this with you again. There's definitely some sexist attitudes towards the franchise; that I'll concede. But when you start to argue that professional reviewers are the ones demonstrating that sexism, then you need to support it with evidence, which you haven't done and don't want to do.

The Futurist Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) I would argue that all the criticism about Peeta s character being weak,boring and/or the damsel in distress is unconscious sexism/machismo. A lot of people say these things about Peeta without asking themselves why. Edited November 22, 2014 by The Futurist 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people say these things about Peeta without asking themselves why. How is that unconscious sexism? I mean, it might be, but I really have no clue. Regardless, I do agree with you that the hate against Peeta is a little dumb. I went through some reviews this morning, and they were all complaining about how Peeta seemed . drugged up and really passive. And I was like "well that's the character; the Capitol is threatening his life, and he can't take it. So what's the issue? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
