Ethan Hunt Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 All I want from the Oscars is a blockbuster to be nominated for Best Picture, I don't care of what it is, I want equality between Blockbusters and award bate films. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I want from the Oscars is a blockbuster to be nominated for Best Picture, I don't care of what it is, I want equality between Blockbusters and award bate films. I don't pay much attention to the Oscars, I have no respect for the voters themselves and I don't generally agree with their choices.

Ethan Hunt Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 The Oscars need to either start acknowledging Blockbusters or they really shouldn't be considered prestigious awards because there is obviously bias towards Award bate type films. Blockbusters are mostly pitiful so it's well warranted. That's an opinion which doesn't make it right for the Oscars to ignore Blockbusters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dementeleus Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Ethan, first of all, blockbusters get nominated pretty regularly. Secondly, most tentpoles aren't remotely aimed at appealing to anyone outside of their 20s and (beyond that) aren't trying to do anything but get the most money in as short a time as possible. Quality above and beyond basic competency in non-tech categories isn't their goal. This isn't youth-league soccer. You don't get awards just for participating. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in your opinion what should have been nominated last year. Ethan, first of all, blockbusters get nominated pretty regularly.

Either start awarding Blockbusters in the BP category or give them their own category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 (edited) Frozen. Either start awarding Blockbusters in the BP category or give them their own category. They do get rewarded. They even win. Why are you so invested in some random blockbuster getting an award? Edited December 7, 2014 by Telemachos 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Hunt Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 This year either Interstellar or Dawn of the Planet of the Apes are very deserving of a non and the only reason the Academy wouldn't give one of them a non is because they want to keep up their reputation.
