Just here to say Apes was snubbed. 

Well, not for Visual FX.

[Mojoguy]

Umm, how many black directors have won Best Director? Zero.

Women Directors? One.

One Best Director Oscar ever won in Oscar history for women. Whoa.

Fuck that sexy green fish.

We often see black male directors at the Oscars, seeing female directors is like seeing unicorns....

Exactly the same number of women and black men have been nominated for Best Director. (Five.)

 

As for Stone's comment and the responses to it, this just goes to show that maybe you should just call them nominees instead of dividing them.

Wonder Woman didn't get any nominations, why would Black Panther be any different.

Better make up

Better Costume Design

Better Soundtrack/Score

Better Original Song

 

Any other category like Best Picture or any other tech noms is debatable but BP is better than WW in the categories I mentioned and absolutely deserves at least nominations for them

I don't even really like Black Panther and I think it'd be a solid winner for costumes and makeup.

[DeeCee]

I foolishly turned it off to early. Is SoW still the winner?

[TalismanRing]

The winner is that lucky bastard Taylor Hackford

And the one that did win didnt even deserve it. Cant blame the academy, they just need more female directors

Didnt see this mentioned, but apparently Robert Lopez is the first person to double EGOT. That's fun.

By this time next year, another thing WW and BP will have in common is zero Oscars. Save your hopes and dreams: if Peele’s Get Out did not do it, you can bet your sweet patootie, Coogler will not get anywhere near close to the BP or BD Oscar wins for a superhero film.

The creature is a river god with abilities that can only be called magical (healing powers, creating, etc). It is 100% fantasy, hence why the director himself called out the fantasy genre during the acceptance of it for Best Picture. 

I don't know what you mean by creating but Wolverine and Deadpool having healing abilities and they're not considered supernatural.

[grey ghost]

Pan's Labyrinth is definitely supernatural. 

 

Shape of Water seems to be about a fish mutant in a laboratory.

[The Futurist]

So the Jean Pierre Jeunet movie won.

Can't complain, great movie.

And a great night for France with Desplat winning his second.

 

The Fish Fuck movie is neither Sci-Fi or fantasy, it is Bestiality.

It's a Fairy tale.  It's fantasy.  Like Beauty & The Beast and The Little Mermaid.
