However, I think the real problem is that the most popular movie nominated for Best Picture was "Dunkirk," which is in 14th place in the annual box office for 2017. Next was "Get Out" in 15th place. The highest grossing film released last year, "The Last Jedi," was nominated in only four categories and lost all of them. The second highest grossing movie wasn't nominated for any awards! The audience had nothing to root for!Pinku-Senseihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16247618351725715844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752611264465083204.post-68649124162618640612018-03-06T09:23:35.136-05:002018-03-06T09:23:35.136-05:00In all honesty, is it any wonder that the TV viewe...In all honesty, is it any wonder that the TV viewership for the Oscar ceremony is at an all-time low? They come across like they're saying "look how cool we are for giving a bunch of awards to minorities" rather than celebrating the fact that these movies really are good enough to <i>deserve</i> those awards, which they are. They're giving the impression that awards are being handed out based on some kind of quota mentality in order to appear "diverse" enough. It detracts from the actual brilliance of what Peele and del Toro created.<br /><br />I can understand Mexicans hailing the success of Mexican movies in the US, especially given the surge of crude hatred that Trump embodies and whips up -- but that's a legitimate pride in achievement. They'd probably be insulted if it were to be dismissed as just "embracing diversity".Infidel753https://www.blogger.com/profile/10965786814334886696noreply@blogger.com
