For the price to get in and the price of the snacks I'd have to agree with you.

I've taken to waiting until they're released to On Demand

Some of the stars of today complaining, probably don't even know who James Baskett is.


Sad he died fairly young, and wasn't permitted to attend the films premier because of the segregation laws of the time in Atlanta.

Probably the one movie modern day Disney company wishes wasn't made, although they do use certain aspects from the movie to this day but most don't seem realize the theme of Splash Mountain for example is from this movie.

Interesting stats, particularly when you think how well respected (and successful) Mexican directors are these days.

I remember Oprah Winfrey being highly upset when "Lee Daniels, the butler" didn't win a nomination. I mean how could Hollywood do such a thing knowing that Queen Oprah had starred in it? Shock ! shock!

I saw the movie when it was released to TV. Dull as ditchwater. Fell asleep 2/3 the way through

On the other hand I enjoyed a very good movie made in 1971 called "Sounder" with the principal actors being African-Americans. I believe that movie did receive some awards

BET is White owned , but the very reason for the cretion of BET or any other award or club started by Blacks primarily for Blacks is because they were not allowed into the White clubs. This is also why Black motorcycle riders started their own riding club , because White clubs would not let them in.

Hispanics aren't a race though, and there are plenty of White Hispanics. Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Salma Hayak , Charlie Sheen , Cameroon Diaz , Alejandro González Iñárritu (director of the Revenant) , Ricky Ricardo (I love Lucy fame) are all White Hispanics.

I'm pretty pissed that I've never won an Oscar. Never even nominated. I'd bet they don't even know my name. It's obviously unfairly slanted that Oscars are only won by high profile movie stars. Talk about inequality!

So, not only am I boycotting the Oscars, I will never watch any film again. That'll teach those selfish racist, sexist, money-grubbing celebs who's boss.

I await the arrival of WET with great excitement.

People seriously need to get over themselves. The whole thing is just a OMG Look-At-Me self-entitled bitch fest anyhow. (The Oscars themselves and this latest "drama").

/Bleh.

You just know they'd call them the Bloscars

But no, there shouldn't, because the Oscars themselves are a stupid little backslapping circlejerk between industry members anyway. Why do black actors even care that they're part of that wankfest or not?

Personally I don't think I could give less of a **** about the awards myself if my dick fell off.

In fairness, it's only a subset of actors. You have to be African-American to count.

That's a nice two fingers (or one, since they're Yanks) to the Brits, isn't it?

The Blacdemy Awards!

Blackademy would run off the tongue easier. Though I think we'd all agree that Blackadder would be the preferred watching option

Blackadder Awards would be great.

I nominate Mrs. Miggins for best pie in the shape of an enormous pie.

Blacars rolls off the tongue easier still? (dropping the 'r', as is the good ol' US fashion)
