"Outstanding," "Irresponsible": Oscar Voters React to 'Joker,' With Many Avoiding It
- Thread starter Concelhaut
- Start date
Their reasoning is stupid sure.
But eh, it's not that great of a movie either way. I enjoyed it but hardly Oscar material in my opinion.

I think the ban comment was clearly a joke, not a serious proposition. This title is a little misleading about that.
Indeed.
Only people who don't have seen the movie could have awarded an Oscar to Suicide Squad.
I would be willing to guess which race this voter is:
I'm sure they're all equally disgusted by Once Upon a Time in Hollywood's reprehensible violence porn ending.
Sure they are.
Sure they are.
To be fair, the consensus is pretty much "haven't seen it yet". Oscar voters aren't usually out rushing opening weekend for new films. Either they're seeing them in festivals months in advance, or seeing them on the FYC runs done by studios on special invitation.
Fucking idiots
Are these the same imbeciles who gave best pic to green book over blackkklansman?
I don't even think Joker was some super amazing movie. I just think their comments that are broadly a refusal to watch capeshit while handing Oscars to complete shit just because they gladhanded with the director are way out of touch

I'd like to thank you for justifying their point in dismissing this movie and it's popularity almost immediately.
I think the thread title is misleading.
As for the actual comments:
What a joke.
How old are these people?
Also, isn't it their job to actually watch these movies so they can vote on everything? How can they say they might not even watch them or bail early?
If they can't be arsed to put in the time then get the fuck out of there.

This happens all the time. It's absolutely stupid but we've had enough snippets to know that some Oscar voters really don't deserve that honor.
Never meet your heroes, I remember a time when I thought the Oscars were meaningful awards handed out to the best films decided by an expert panel of judges.
is scorsese now getting lumped in with cancelled people because he didn't like marvel movies
Yeah but that was a makeup oscar for Brokeback mountain. Oddly that is probably going to keep Joker of the of the running as well.
What a bunch of idiots.
These clowns need their right to vote taken away for such stupid comments.

There should be a rule where threads can only be titled after the article's title. Literally the first quote is positive.
With as much free publicity as this film is getting, if it doesn't make half a billion, it should be considered a flop
He was going to be involved as an EP but couldn't commit due to scheduling conflicts with The Irishman but he did have some talks with Joaquin and Phillips.
I think we was at a certain point, but backed out, Can't remember why. - oops, beaten above
I think at the very least Pheonix deserves a nomination for best actor.
Oscar has been horrible for so many years now, it's rarely about the quality of the movie but moreso about the political/social message behind it. I don't expect Joker to fall in line with the kind of messages the Oscars want to push, so I doubt it'll do well, but who knows.
So dumb, just watch it and judge. The more they do this, the more it will be seen as a masterpiece, which really isn't.
Oscar voters are a pathetic joke.
Never forget this quote from one voter regarding best animated film:

This is ridiculous lmao. The movie is barely a comic book movie. You could cut a few scenes, call it "The Laughing Man" and it would be praised as a compelling and insightful look into society's failure to protect the mentally ill.
A lot of Oscar voters are dumb assholes but I don't think that ban comment is meant to be taken seriously either.
I don't think Woody has been nominated for anything but Match Point and Midnight in Paris in like the last 20 years?
