Nope. Anyone want to bet on the number of African American nominees this year?

It's gonna look like the NAACP Image Awards.

 

[Bmurph]

Not even a half a fuck given!

Haven't watched the Oscars in god knows how long; any movie buffs here who think the Oscars still have any merit in regards to quality filmmaking from an art critic's perspective, or today are they more just a celebrity 'popularity contest' like the Grammies?

I dunno, let me check what August Comte wrote about them and get back to you.

I feel like we have this thread every year lol

 

[PatsFan2003]

It depends on how many of the movies I saw. I like them but not as much as I used to.

 

[fullxtension]

The "In Memoriam" segment will take 2 1/2 hours this year, so they have cancelled the awards part due to lack of time.

 

[redseat]

Do the Oscars actually give a flying f%ck?

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

I would say "no shits given," but posting = caring

 

[Tharvot]

I have never watched and never will. Unless you yourself a friend or a family member is up for an award why would you care?

You could use the same reasoning for sports.

 

[Tharvot]

If I've seen any of the movies that were up for awards, I'll care a little and will root for them. Otherwise, I really don't care at all. If one movie gets a ton of pub, then I may go back later and try to catch it.

Not really, it's easier to relate to sports for most people having played sports growing up and most people have an allegence to a certain team maybe based on where they are from, hey if they had acting leagues maybe i'd care, the Minnesota Method Actors maybe or I guess if I did some acting growing up maybe i'd care.

I should have said sports awards. You'll probably pay more attention to the heisman or whatever award if someone on your favorite team is up for it.

Same with movie awards. If you like a particular actor or enjoyed a movie, you'll probably root for it to win if they are in the running for an award.

Nope, I have no interest in sports awards either. I also do not root for any actor or any movie I liked to win an award, honestly I don't usually even know if they are up for an award.

I suppose if you like nothing and root for no one but yourself, you'll probably be pretty anti-award show.

Wow, you draw a lot of conclusions simply because I don't care about award shows.

You just don't like awards. It's cool.
