The Academy is still populated by a lot of old white men.

 

A movie about the coming of age of a gay black man isn't exactly in their wheelhouse.

I still haven't recovered from Inarritu's reign of terror.

Seems small in scope and quiet. I think it's at kind of a disadvantage when it comes to Oscar voters.

Nothings wrong with it.  It's a fantastic movie.  It just isn't the kind of movie I think plays well to the Oscars.  I'm happy with it just getting nominated for stuff.

Depends on competition each year, wouldn't you agree? Birdman seemed pretty heavy to me. Nervous breakdown and suicide. 

About a middle aged white guy. With bombastic scenes. Both things Moonlight lacks.

The manager when I went to grab a pizza after work came chasing me down as i started walking back to the theatre.

 

"Are you guys getting Monster Trucks? My daughter is DYING to see it!" @That One Guy

Think about this... Crash beat Brokeback Mountain .

 

It's also very Indie with a relatively unknown director,  no star power, or even a lead actor /actress performance to piggy back off of.  That's a tough road.

Really? Crash? What could Moonlight have in common with Crash?

this is still gif of the night for me.

The Oscar voter demographic went from 94% white to 91% from 2014 to 2016, so... progress? /s

Birdman's main advantage over something like Moonlight would be that it's about the entertainment industry. La La Land also has that advantage. The industry people do like to have their egos stroked in the movies, no doubt.

Think Brokeback and Moonlight....

Whoops. I thought you said Crash meets Brokeback Mountain.

Also, since a majority of you guys missed my post earlier this morning (I think..?), here it is:

Time to issue a formal apology to my Monster Trucks standom/cult/religion that I've been promoting for the past few months:

 

I apologize for my massive spamming and stanning and whatever the fuck I was doing at all particular moments throughout these past few months.  Monster Trucks just holds a special place in my heart, and always will, for the movie where I realized "holy shit, what the fuck is Hollywood doing?"  As such, I was brainwashed into the belief that Monster Trucks is an omnipotent being, rather than just a movie made by a washed-out director of Ice Age.  It's a movie where Paramount will inevitably lose $115M because they let a 4 year old pitch the idea to the execs.  It's a movie where the main promotional material for the film is Lucas Till having his mouth wide gaping open.

 

These next few months, I will undergo Monster Trucks rehab, where I will be cured of my addiction to jabbing doses of the Monster Trucks trailer into my skin (basically, a more powerful form of heroin).  I will leave the cultist group of Monster Trucks fans today and will continue on with my life.  I will delete all my Lucas Till screenshots on my computer.  Everything I've known and loved about Monster Trucks will be gone.  I'll still see the movie for so-bad-it's-good purposes, but that's it.

 

Once again, apologies to the community of BOT for having to endure Lucas Till's face and Creech these past few months, and these past few weeks in particular .

Let the salt begin. The Crown totally deserved it though.
