Can we talk about the real Elephant in the Room with this years Oscars, mainly that The Irishman was nominated? Fookin hell, I’d love to see Netflix’s diagnostics on the number of households that started that movie and never finished it. I barely made it 45 minutes .
That movie was pure sh!t. And even funnier.....Marty Scorsese bitched about too much CGI in the marvel movies

I haven't seen it, hadn't even heard of it until this thread, so I watched the trailer and read a review in the Atlantic. My initial impression is that this is a really weird move for the Obamas.
The thing is that the documentary doesn't insert opinion, it's mainly observational.

Its only bias is in where the cameras were pointed.

Ironically, if he actually used CG, the result would have been much better.

I couldn't watch more than first 20 minutes because of how bad the makeup was.

AlGore's oh-so-serious documentary didn't stand up well to the test of time. A lot of people are still laughing at him.

Obama's been doing pretty well for himself; a Nobel for not being GWB, and now an Oscar nomination for not being Trump.

I love the knee-jerks shitting on the docu that they haven't even watched yet

Honeyland on Amazon was good too....did it get nominated? I don't think they
ever put it in to theaters so it may not meet the new academy reqs

I thought the Irishman was good enough. Not Best Picture or anything, but....

Still haven't seen Parasite.:cursing:Will see it this week.

Liked Waves and Uncut Gems. Seeing 1917 tonight.

Gotta watch that Factory doc, still.....

Uncut Gems was annoying as fkkkkk

Les Miserables could be good

I don't know why Little Women got any nominations outside of costume

Is this documentary accurate or just a fluff piece? Does it show how he was born in Kenya and bathed in gay bath houses in Chicago?

what about Michelle’s penis any mention?

They should have given this award before Obama took office.

It should be named "Why We Hate Conservatives", or "Look everybody! More Hollywood degenerates hate conservatives."

Yawn.
.

Admit it, you're still bitter that Atlas Shrugged got snubbed!

So 1917 was pretty great.

Absolutely cannot believe that Apollo 11 wasn't even nominated for Best Doc.
