(Besides oj) -

La La Land is actually a great film. I've mentioned it on here in the underrated films and TV section, but it's not near as schmaltzy or cheesy as the marketing makes it out to be. I wouldn't be surprised if it cleaned up - it seems to win over everyone who's seen it, and it did the same for me as well.
It's about time they diversified the Oscars. Shame it took such a kick up the ? from last year. -
-
Outside of the black nominees' movies (excluding loving) I ain't seen none of these ? .
I need to check hell it high water, elle, la la land, arrival and jackie.
Kinda iffy on jackie cuz idk if I can sit through natalie portman's affected speech for that whole movie..... -
Natalie Portman sucks everything but my ? which she shouldve that time i worked at tower records. But yo props to #OscarSoWhite ? gave you a slide. That's my sarcastic way of saying still not enough. ? Hollywood. Crackerville den of debauchary that it is.

Some of those "black" movies are also pushing white liberal agendas. Not truly black. ? think they're slick. Only Hidden Figures and Fences which are gems are truly valid.

Manchester by the Sea and la la land are going to sweep SMMFH. Casey Affleck gonna come up too SMMFH.
Fences and Moonlight SHOULD be the biggest winners.
Fences does not deserve best picture.
Denzel is deserving of best actor for his performance but the movie as a whole was not that great.
Casey did his thing in Manchester too. Whats your beef there? -

Imma need at least 2 more testimonials from fellow IC members before im convinced to watch it. -
Yes lets deflect with memes. You should call yourself TheBOT. -

If you don't like musicals don't watch it. If you don't mind them and watched classic ones it's ok. It's a suckfest of old hollywood the same ones the jews that run hollywood today grew up on and always romanticize. So naturally it got financed and awarded. It's well made though unlike a lot of other modern musicals. -
Eat a snickers, Broddie. Lol

I want to hear your opinions since you are the one who brought up those issues as if they are absolute fact. -
Because further emasculation of the black man on screen and interracial relationships is a very pro black agenda right?
-
With that said I will now exit stage left. I don't even watch the oscars anyway.

is there a definitive "pro black" agenda, i always assumes the idea was to be free to express yourself without inward or outward judgement ?
Last time i checked some consequential pro-black leaders came from interracial relationships, you could argue a good percentage of African Americans are descendant from interracial relationships, And is Loving vs. Virginia not an important story on Civil Rights in America just as much as a Hidden Figures ?
As for Moonlight it dont get more "problack" than a Black dude writing,directing, producing and casting black actors IMO, moreover telling stories that quite frankly do exist in black communities but are seldom told.
Why cant we celebrate story diversity in black cinema -
Nobody was emasculated in moonlight (unless you believe being ? in itself is emasculating) and loving v. virginia is a historical fact. Idgaf about that movie, but those are bad examples of Hollywood "pushing an agenda"

What's even more funny is that this ? champion some of the whitest movie. Let Hollywood remake one of his beloved action movies he one of the first in here catching a ? fit.
Now he the Malcom X of Hollywood. LOL -
