Maybe Roger Ebert, but he surely doesn't count as he promotes films/performers from different races with regularity (to the point where I think a film is priveleged if it's about race for him). I hear complaints about Pacino's career award fairly regularly. I don't go to Awards Daily, Awards Circuit, or the imdb boards because I find the level of discussion to be ridiculously low (especially on the imdb boards. That's like arguing about segregated proms in Alabama.<br /><br /> I hate Berry's win more than I hate Swank's win. But I hate everything to do with Marc Forester. It's not either/or. Complaining about one doesn't exclude me from complaining about the other.<br /><br /> I'm sorry if you think I'm part of the problem, though.Arkaannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-7865327246216022702009-06-25T07:01:51.107-04:002009-06-25T07:01:51.107-04:00goatdog if i could figure out how to do away with ...<b>goatdog</b> if i could figure out how to do away with anonymous commenting, I would. unfortunately there doesn't seem to be an option that includes the name/url function (the easiest one to use for people who don't belong to livejournal, wordpress or blogger or some such and I don't think people should have to be bloggers to comment) that doesn't also include anonymous.<br /><br />I hate the anonymous option too.<br /><br />any suggestions? as to how to let people comment without having to register.

There is a big connection with beyonce and jennifer. That's not the only thing I'm upset with about the academy. I thought crash was the worst tragedy of them all but I don't know the full list of unworthy winners so maybe there's even worst winners. And what's your obsession with hilary swank, you always mention her. Is it because she's white? And atleast judy garland and grace kelly were both worthy of the award.

The fact that you think I don't like jennifer Hudson is because she's black makes me think you only like her cause she's black. If she was white you would probably not even like her or know she exists. I believe josh brolin shouldnt have been nominated for milk or brad Pitt for Benjamin and I think the fact that nicole Kidman won over salma heyak is ridiculous. Robert Downey jr. being nominated for tropic thunder is a tragedy. There white and i disagree for them even having a chance at winning <br />. I never said I lost respect for jennifer, I said I lost it for the academy.

Voters would have still gone with titles like <i>Changeling</i>. Plus, the likes of Christopher Nolan <b>still</b> wouldn't have been nominated effectively ruling it out of contention thus elimating all potential "ooh could it upset?" debates.<br /><br />This just stinks. It's stupid. As others have said, we'll end up with movies nominated for two Oscars one of which is Best Picture. I don't necessarily agree that just because movies aren't technically proficient or the like that it shouldn't be considered for best picture, but when stuff like <i>My Big Fat Greek Wedding</i> can get into a best picture lineup with only an "original" screenplay nod to its name that just isn't right. (although <i>Four Weddings and a Funeral</i> doesn't feel nearly as bad).<br /><br />And as someone else also said, even though ten titles will get picture nominees people will see right through it and be able to realise which titles are the <i>actual</i> nominees and which are just fillers.Glenn Dunkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05424659636310160482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-5746140719644210462009-06-25T00:21:41.244-04:002009-06-25T00:21:41.244-04:00Question: Why do people put anonymous and then put...Question: Why do people put anonymous and then put their name at the bottom?

Entirely way more people harp on Denzel's win, they say Russell Crowe should've won. I don't see anyone complaining about Al Pacino's win at all. So wtf are you talking about. On Almost every Oscar site I go to Awardsdaily, Awards circuit (although that one has slowed down), this one and IMDB Oscar boards people complain about wins for minorities far more than Whites(that they think are undeserved). No I'm not barking up the wrong tree if you don't see it than you are a part of it and that is a shame. Why are you still harping about Berry when Swank won one for her mediocre performance in Million Dollar Baby? Complain about that one.<br /><br /><br />The only site where readers don't complain as much is Incontention and Ropesofsilicon.<br /><br /><br />As for the topic, it doesn't bother me much.

But that Beyonce nonsense from before had to be a joke, right? <br /><br />But back to the "Oscars 10" discussion, I think that this could be a great thing. It would have made my Oscarwatching year this year if "The Dark Knight" and "WALL-E" had made it into best picture. It looks like there's at least an active interest in widening the playing field, so I'll be optimistic and see what they come up with. If they end up picking the usual middling nominees, then I'll join the chorus and complain too. But I want to give them the benefit of the doubt at least this one time.Doriannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-84459506406562736642009-06-25T00:01:28.875-04:002009-06-25T00:01:28.875-04:00Also, I should state that I'm black, so if you...Also, I should state that I'm black, so if you genuinely believe I'm a bigot based on the comments I've made, then clearly, there's no where for this conversation to go.Arkaannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-50054595644859128452009-06-25T00:00:04.531-04:002009-06-25T00:00:04.531-04:00Really?

Denzel isn't thought to have robbed anyone (I would've voted for Denzel in both those races, fwiw). Berry? Damn straight I'll complain about her win. Hudson? Meh, I love Blanchett to the point of madness, but she's lead, so I'm fine with it.<br /><br /> So play the race card if you want, and yeah, I'll state that Hollywood has a tremendous amount of problems when it comes to negotiating/depicting race, but this is one conversation where I genuinely think you're wrong and doing more harm to the discussion than credit.Arkaannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-80231221115308643162009-06-24T23:58:51.318-04:002009-06-24T23:58:51.318-04:00When there are a bunch of bigots that read and com...When there are a bunch of bigots that read and comment on your site.
