I’ve been reading these forums since 2013 when Mccoughnadousche won. This is the most divisive a reaction I’ve seen for a BA winner so this ain’t gonna age well lol

That the changes to the voting body have actually made the awards MORE of a joke than before. I did not think that possible but kudos 😝👍🏻

I’m still stunned that the academy actually let Leo get an Oscar at a relatively young age. Thought for sure they’d O’Toole him

I didn’t love Freddie Mercury or Queen before seeing the film, so stop assuming! Many people loved the PERFORMANCE! He won the Golden Globe, SAG, BAFTA and the Oscar! (: You certainly don’t have to agree but don’t assume that everyone agrees with you either.

You may not think this but reading the leaked Oscar ballots sure went along with this line of thinking.

Mainstream people like it because they don’t know about acting they like the feel good aspect of the movie. They also confuse their love of Freddie Mercury and Queen with loving his performance and deeming it oscar worthy. Now why the actual awards bodies voted for this I have no idea, but he will join Roberto Benini and Jean Dujardin on one and done and soon to be forgotten Oscar winners.

Don’t anger Spike Lee… he’ll be back for more. Also, it appears that Jordan Peele was pissed as well.

Spike lee should be thankful he won an Oscar. Some people are never satisfied.

The Malek win is awful but I am okay with the academy’s incompetence from here on out for giving it to Casey 2 years ago lol

Why does it matter what the skin color or the winner is? If you only want someone to win because they’re black, odds are that it is you that is the racist one

I honestly have no idea how BAFTA decides these things. But what I do know is that Christian Bale didn’t win for The Fighter which he was better in and locked for the Oscar, so I highly doubt he’s gonna win for playing Dick Cheney in a mediocre movie. Especially with the nostalgia factor with Bohemian Rhapsody

Spirit awards are the only awards show that will award the real best actor

I agree with your statements. I personally think his acting abilities are overrated though. I did really like his work before all the box office success and maybe 1 or 2 since the dreadful TITANIC. I greatly admire his stand on envirnomental issues.

Leo’s one of my favorites and I can agree with this. He was fantastic in WOW though
