I'm pretty sure just about everyone understands this. It having such a large cultural impact doesn't automatically make it one of the greatest films of the year, though, which is something that people like yourself seemingly refuse to understand.
I liked IW better but the funny thing is these noms are so bad BP is still better than a bunch of them.
I still liked the opener the best and I was pleasantly surprised to see its song get nominated.
Well it's the only superhero movie there, but I gather the vast majority of people complaining about the nomination are complaining it's not the right superhero movie, rather than it being a superhero movie, which is what leads to suspicion.
I think all people here know that. Not sure if cultural impact is really that big of a factor for a "best movie" nomination but i'm sure it plays a role. However i do think that calling every person who didn't think this movie was the best movie of the year a racist is a bit silly. But it also shows how personal this movie is to some people. I think others miss that perspective and just judge it like any other movie they see (unless they really hate black people but let's not automatically assume that).
Hah. Please. Go ahead and downplay BP and the context of its nomination. Please proceed.
"I support superhero films for best picture, just not THIS one"
?
I will never forget how film twitter all thought Annapurna was doing a horrible job handling Vice and yet it turns out their constant delays and keeping that movie in a lock until the last possible moments under the guise of it being some super important/vicious/pant-shaking monolith was the best possible strategy for it.
Ohh, right. Well, i did like that movie. But couldn't remember a comic Super-hero movie that won best film. Not even Watchmen.
Just because you don't like a thing doesn't make it pretentious or forgettable.
Not salty at all, I just want awards to be about quality and nothing else.
Different people have different definitions of "quality." I'd definitely count cultural impact into the quality of the film.
