Anything Harvey Weinstein’s thirsty a** did to secure wins for his films. I’m so glad that vile & sneaky S.O.B got kicked out of the Academy.
Never forget

I, certified idiot, thought for a moment that this was only one picture and was absolutely puzzled how the headline was supposed to fit the photo.

I do agree that this nomination was really just the Academy giving the finger to Kevin Spacey. That said, what Spacey did isn’t political, it’s criminal.

Yeah what Kevin Spacey did wasn’t political, but the Academy nominating Christopher Plummer for the role he replaced Kevin Spacey in was. It was like you said them giving the middle finger to Spacey and showing how they wanted to look like they were taking a stand against the issues in the industry.

People always say that Ingrid was undeserving of her win for Anastasia but who else in that group of nominees deserved it more? I agree that it was a political move to welcome her back to Hollywood but I think she also deserved the award too.

Did I say they stopped? I specifically called out Harvey Weinstein for his political moves within the Academy. Why do you talk like you’re defending him?

We’ll never know, I also wonder if Kevin Spacey would have been nominated if his performance was better? Probably not

If Ben Affleck wasn’t snubbed for best director it’s no way in hell that movie was winning best picture

While this may have been true for the past 25 years or so, Robert Redford, Warren Beatty, Kevin Costner, Clint Eastwood and Mel Gibson have all won Best Director Oscars. Maybe members of the Directors’ Branch really didn’t think Ben Affleck (and George Clooney) deserved the award.
