<p>i.e. maybe a nomination. But win? Dunno - I haven't seen every film out there.</p>

<p>Speaking of Oscars: the Academy has decided the "White Oscars" hashtag is bigger than them and modified their voting rules.</p> -
<p>they should just open it up to a public vote! </p>

Yeah then we get shit like Justin Bieber winning an Oscar for appearing in Zoolander 2. Or some fat chick winning purely because of all the fat chicks voting. <br><br>
That's how other reality shows work. -
<p>or a Bollywood or Chinese actor we've never heard of winning it for some movie we will never watch

<p>Well, that'd piss the black actors off even more if we're going on representative numbers in motion picture leading roles...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you're going to boycott the fucking awards, then do it for a real reason like the community-level racism and shit. Not for failing to get the recognition you want while you swim through a pool through of hundred dollar bills and all the coke you can snort off your wife's arse.</p>

<p>Remember 2001 was dubbed "The Black Oscars" because Halle Berry and Denzel Washington won? its been slim pickings since then:</p>

He's bald lives in Australia and supports the Wallabies/Warratahs, nothing I can do to bring him down any lower. -

I seem to recall her acceptance speech wasn't too crash hot either -
Senility affects everyone differently, Virgil. I don't blame you for lashing out - it's the disease.<br><br><br><blockquote class="ipsBlockquote" data-author="Cookie" data-cid="554058" data-time="1453662254"><p>

<p>Yeah she got pretty worked up, totally made up with it when she accepted her Razzie for catwoman though which is pretty bloody funny.</p>

Hasn't the Revenant been a massive flop at the box office? Pretty farking retarded going head-to-head with Star Wars.<br><br>
Interestingly the black boycott Oscars will be hosted by Chris Rock. No surprise that Will Smith's wife (Plunkett or something) is behind the boycott. No doubt she'd have as many awards and nominations as Daniel Day-Lewis if it wasn't for Hollywood racism. Just look at how the Academy have snubbed her husband. Oh wait... -

<p>No, it's made over $200m which is bloody good money for what is nearly an art house film.</p> -

<p>Yep, in the UK Hatefull Eight came out, then a week later Revenant. And Hatefull 8 has died on its arse as everyone switched to going to see The Revenant, which is taking huge money. They are both boring as all fuck, the only difference is the cabin & Sam Jackson is wearing a bear rather than being raped by one.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Luckily Dirty Grandpa is out this week. Best thing DeNiro has done since Taxi Driver.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The awards season can sometimes be great, but bewteen H8, Revenant, Brooklyn and fucking Room this year is shithouse. </p> -
Ahh, must have looked at wiki article too early or something. Not a bad take at all.

<p>Ice Cube seems to have hit the nail on the head regarding race & award shows in general. </p>
