Oscars / Academy Awards General Discussion (Not Specific to Any Year)

[GNG]

I doubt most people who post here have seen a least two of the movies nominated for an Oscar and it's been that way for decades.

Maybe if Hollywood made pictures without political correctness more Americans would show interest.

Steven Spielberg lobbying Oscars to ban Netflix films (such as Roma) from nomination because he considers them to be "TV movies"

Spielberg didn't win this fight:

Netflix, Amazon, and other streaming services will continue to be free to submit their films to the Oscars next year, after the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences decided against changing its entry rules to more clearly favor films intended primarily for theatrical release. The Academy announced that Rule Two, which says a film is eligible to be considered for an Oscar so long as it has a seven-day run in an LA theater, will remain unchanged for the 92nd Academy Awards in 2020, despite suggestions that it should be changed to require a longer theatrical run from potential nominees.

I didn't care about this before and I don't now.

I will say this though, let filmmakers make films and cast who they want.
