Oscars 2022 • Page 45

Also why does the Academy hate PTA so much

 

That's actually a really good comparison, especially considering the quality of some of the films Shakespeare In Love was up against that year (Saving Private Ryan, The Thin Red Line).

 

Excuse me this is the Will Smith thread

 

The wild thing about CODA winning is that, in a year with only 5 nominees, I don't think it even gets nominated. The expanded Best Picture field allowed it to get in and then take over the race.

 

They hate anyone named Anderson

 

I know Martin Lawrence was laughing so hard when he saw it

 

The "violence is bad" take that I keep seeing celebrities post is so funny.

"I don't condone violence" thank you, person from an episode of Parks and Rec from 2013 that I followed and haven't heard from since.

 

If anything hopefully last night was able to crystallize how the Oscars actively hate and are bad for cinema, and that’s without even addressing the slap, which, actors are rich self absorbed weirdos who have never faced consequences for anything so tbh I’m shocked something like last night took so long to happen.

 

Because he doesn't play by their rules and releases a weird movie every 5 years

 

What sucks is that we now know that next year’s ceremonies are going to be even more bland than normal. Every nominee will be locked in a hermetically sealed bubble

 

Amy Adams and Lily Tomlin beat up David O'Russell next year

 

that’s on you for following them bc you saw them in an episode of tv

 

the weirdest thing that happened last night was a slideshow for the ukraine brought to you by crypto.com

 

They kept playing it over and over again

 

Can't wait for the actor who plays Will Smith in an eventual biopic to win an Oscar for the slap scene

 

Whoever hosts next year is going to do a getting slapped bit and it’s going to suck so bad

 

Says, "Chris."

 

Even all the shitty jokes about not watching/caring about the nominees aside, yeah even the stuff that they promoted seems like they unironically took to heart all of the people complaining about how blockbusters weren’t getting nominations or whatever. The weird fan vote clips, Chris Evans promoting the Lightyear movie, bringing in BTS to shoe-horn in a compliment about the live action Aladdin lol. The MCU stans have even less grounds to complain now, considering that the entire ceremony has just turned into a promotional event for Disney media

 

Part of me is kind of numb to the shock of this because isn't even the most insane thing i've ever seen at a ceremony like this.

Bret Hart getting tackled to the ground while he gave his WWE Hall of Fame induction speech by a mentally disturbed fan who bum rushed the podium, and then like two dozen wrestlers jumping on stage and beating the shit out the guy infront of everyone in 2019 has the Smith/Rock thing beat.

 

For Will Smith to do that this year of all years, the 30th anniversary of White Men Can’t Jump. Truly shameful

 

Everything that makes the Oscars more like The Source Awards deserves praise

 

Actually if Will Smith had slapped Betty White or Bob Saget they would not have felt anything because they’re both dead
