Man this must be how Lord Tony feels all the time but I don't care because the Oscars are garbage and I'm making a topic. Anyone else watching them? Self Delete Squad literally got 3 awards (for makeup? Huh?) and Zootopia (which is admittedly a good movie) won the Best Animated Picture award over Kubo & The Two Strings which 100% was the best animated film of the year. Undoubtedly the most impressive work of animation in the last 40+ years and it was lost to the generic Disney film spit out this year because the Oscars love Disney.
Was it Jared Leto's stuffty tattoos that won the makeup award? Jesus. Also every year the movie that talks about the struggles of black people wins (like 12 Years A Slave) because the Oscar judges are scrambling over themselves to not look tribal. Moonlight shouldn't have won best supporting actor and I can only imagine what they are going to come up with for best film of the year. And that terrible Piper film that played before Finding Dory was boring and uncreative and definetely did not deserve an award. Did it get it for it's animation? If so, why didn't Kubo get the award?

Anyway, these picks are terrible and Oscar judges should be holocausted. I can't wait to see best picture. Discuss.
McZealot:
I'm actually angry for the first time in at least a month and this is probably the stupidest possible reason. Anyway, I agree with some of the picks. Arrival had incredible audio and totally deserved the award.
If Arrival wins Best Picture all will be forgiven. Haven't seen Hacksaw Ridge but I hear it's good so I might be okay with it. If Moonlight wins I'll actually be pissed.
I'm assuming it's going to be La La Land, since it hasn't won any awards yet.
Mega-Bear:
I don't follow film but if its as bad as the Grammys it must be terrible
RedGajin:
who should have won best supporting actor then? did you even watch moonlight?
Poliwhirl:
its a glorified ad campaign / bragging rights committee for rich people, but sometimes its good
