With the exception of Parasite, the Oscars are still so white
- Thread starter lupinko

I don't even get why Parasite is there in so many categories. Why Portrait of the lady on fire isn't nominated then? Why other foreign movies are just in the Foreign Picture category? Like... It's just stupid. And I love Parasite - it's just the whole method of handling foreign movies is so weird...

The people that work in the industry do, and that in itself is important.
France nominated Les Miserable, instead of Portrait. And the Academy isn't so hot on foreign movies, so breaking out of that category without any kind of buzz is hard. And for a foreign movie, that wasn't nominated by its own country in the foreign category, like Portrait, it is even harder to get any attention.

Viewership may be on the decline but I'm not sure nearly 30 million people viewing the broadcast is "nobody".

Especially that. lmao
I hope either Parasite or Little Women wins. I love QT but OUATIH isn't as good as those two movies. If it wins then that's fine I guess.
Also Dolemite was robbed.
Or Céline Sciamma .... but it is not like the oscars would COMPLETELY ignore a movie that is better than most of the best picture indications, right?
I kinda find that category weird too. It's like, "It's not the best film of the year, but it is the best international film." I don't understand the need for seperation.
The Last Black Man in San Francisco should have been in a lot of those categories including Best Picture and Director along with Jonathan Majors. Instead we get a middling Tarantino flick.

They should just make it so every voter has to nominate 1 person from every demographic.
Like, actor should be..One white guy, one black guy, one Latin guy, one Asian guy etc.
Then move onto to sexual orientation next.
Might be like 25 nominees per category but at least it allows for diveristy.
Repeat this for each category.

the way Tarantino uses "Nigger" must got the academy thinking he is black
As I said, that Harriet nomination is so see through it ain't funny.
Didn't even have the common decency to also nominate Lupita Nyong'o.
You know they locked and loaded with that as the "defense", it's so see thru, but you know it will work with a lot of people.
I'm so upset about this. Not a single nomination in any category.
Or J Lo.
Hell, nominate Kevin Garnett in Uncut Gems.
Yes, it will.
This is absolutely infuriating. J-Lo also deserved a nom for Hustlers, what the fuck.
Is J-Lo considered not white? I totally agree she should've been nominated, though.
Awkwafina definitely should've had a nod, too.
Sidney Potter won, but his role was magical negro, Louis Gussett Jr won for just being an army dude, Cuba, Whoopi won for ghost(that movie wasn't even good), hudson and regina king. But yeah the academy has a "type" for the msot part
then the best picture category will be filled with subtitles and no dumb americans will watch this show! we need to contain them and lock them away
They def give him carte blanche. Almost want to call out Marty here too.
This year had a lot of amazing mid budget films involving minorities. Feels as if there ever was a year for diversity, last year would have been it.
Not really, it will just mean the foreign films don't get recognized at all. Do you really think Pain and Glory, Les Miserables, Honey Land etc had more viewers or voters than the likes of 1917 or Joker?
you're right, I'm overestimating the Oscar voters by a great deal
I can only think of Cuba in Jerry Maguire. Otherwise... oof.
EDIT: Went to Wiki. Mahershala won 2 of 'em, but I haven't seen either Moonlight, or Green Book.
Louis Gossett was kinda a magical negro for Richard Gere.
Whoopi winning for Ghost was on par with Sandra Bullock winning for the Blind Side.
look at the animation category (aka best disney film) to see why this is needed
