I compare the Oscars to the Rock Hall of Fame Induction ceremonies If you despise biased, self centered judges then this is the place. No TOP, Steve Miller, Doobies, Little Feat, Los Lobos,Spirit,Deep Purple, P.R & Raiders and so on. Need I say more. No American Sniper, Grand Budapest ....
Well the male actors in the room could demand they get paid less and have the money paid to their female costars. Until that happens then they can STFU.
I'm not sure to call it a effed up Screen Writers Guild and Union, or a fkd up Academy Panel of Judges, may be both. Sure seems like the Awards are going to hell faster in the last decade, than in all previous ones. Hell, soon they won't mean a damned thing to the viewers. I see its already growing in that direction. American Sniper being a true story, snubbed, Eastwood, as Great or more so of a Director than a Epic Actor.
Oh I'm sure GBH is quirky and funny, just as Birdman is compelling and riveting. I'm also sure Whiplash and Foxcatcher are great character studies. But in term of AS getting 1 of 5....I think there were a few nominations that film didn't even receive. Its pretty apparent that the academy cares little about what the public wants to watch...they prefer to advocate a different agenda.
