Default Oscars

I'll tell you what.

Lady GaGa and that god-awful song Shallow. Utter dreck, Ditto the movie. Swear to God, I left that movie two thirds of the way through because it was that bad and I was having fits of uncontrollable laughter. GaGa and Cooper genuinely think they've created "high art". Please.

Black Panther was a mediocre film that didn't deserve it's Rotten Tomatoes score - it's just overrated because of political correctness and its "diversity".
This really advanced society "elects" its leader by a brutal fight in a rock pool. Doesn't seem like too advanced to me.

Haven't seen Black Klansman yet but Spike Lee is a dick. Although I did enjoy his documentary series "When The Levies Broke" about the Katrina flooding.
Petulant little oik - Adam Driver got up to congratulate him and Lee brushed straight past him.

I haven't seen the other one yet with the British woman and the best picture one.

Bohemian Rhapsody was deserving.

I was surprised when Green Book got nominated and shocked that it won. It was mediocre, at best. All the other nominees that I've seen (haven't seen Black Panther) were stronger, with Roma by far the best of the bunch. I thought this might be the year that a foreign language film finally won the Oscar for best picture, but a mediocre film prevented that being the case. Very disappointing.

The process seems to have continued its downward spiral into being more of a political process than one that even pretends to recognize excellence in the film business.

Films often have to be "worthy". Always nice to such strong British representation.

The last couple of films I've really enjoyed were Grand Budapest Hotel and Phantom Thread.

I loved her speech. When did she say she was poor? (She may have been I don't know, I do know you can go to Cambridge or Oxford from a poor background though, not sure on relevance)

So you think poor people don't deserve Oscars? Or they don't deserve to go to Cambridge University? …. Or should they just shut up, be grateful, and quit moaning about having been poor in the past?

I went back and re-listened to her acceptance speech. She makes no mention of being poor. The closest thing one could construe to that is she said she used to work as a cleaner and "used to spend a lot of her time imagining this".
