This blog is a real big mess. Please be patient with me. I mostly post movies, animals and certain tv shows. More information is in my links page.

It’s Oscar season, which means I have to hear EVERY Fox News person complain about how liberal the Oscars is and how they had low viewership again.

Get Out (2017) not being nominated in the Drama/Thriller/Horror category and placed in the comedy section instead is not just ‘White People at it Again’ like the whole ‘Hidden Fences’ debacle. It wasn’t innocent ignorance; it was blatant and deliberate disrespect. They couldn’t let such a poignant film that so specifically called out the exploitation of Black People, Black Culture and Black Bodies have the full and proper respect it deserved and that was their way of diminishing the hard work of Jordan, Daniel and everyone else in that movie.

That fact that the film received not one award was insane. It was literally the most talked about and culturally relevant film of the year. It grossed so highly and had such incredible critical claim both by the audience and professional critics. The snub was disgusting.

Also Daniel Kaluuya was robbed.

Nominations for films, directors, actors, etc are submitted by the studios/producers. It was the decision of both Peele and his studio to submit to that category and he shares why here:

The premise for the movie Anastasia is so ridiculous but somehow they turned it into a work of beautiful timeless art it’s astounding

Anastasia is a cinematic masterpiece with almost no actual historical facts in it that I will love and defend until the day I die

I’m sorry, but “innocent until proven guilty” will always be more reasonable and fair than “believe the accuser, no matter what, there’s no way they would lie about that.”
