They deserve it.

I don't know how anyone could deny Kennedy her producing credits. She kinda did that.

 

[Deleted member 1627]

Long overdue and more than deserved. She is an absolute legend.

I feel like Cheebo always mentions her filmography.

Absolutely it is in this thread. I dunno, maybe I'm even wrong, it just seems like it's mentioned in any thread when her name comes up.

people bring her resume out because some people act like if she was a newbie to the industry and bumbling buffoon just because of "STAH WARZ"

 

[Deleted member 2809]

Cool
Thread subbed

 

[JaseC64]

That's amazing. I dont really notice the producer or directors for films I like, maybe i should change that. They deserve recognition for sure. Good for her.

Well deserved. In fact, I think that recognition for all her work in film for the past five decades is well overdue!

Are those thread about misogynist incel douche bags?

 

[Not Spaceghost]

8 movies she's worked on have received some kind of academy award nomination.
Her name is on so many massive movies.

She kinda deserves it no matter how you feel about her involvement in the sequel trilogy.

 

[apocat]

Absolutely deserved. She's a giant in the mainstream Hollywood vein of the film industry, and has been for decades.

 

[TableBeRound]

She's the money (wo)man, not a creative.

She was the one who made the call to replace Eric Stoltz with Michael J Fox in Back to the Future and had to convince Universal that it was worth the extra time and money that it would take to reshoot a lot of the movie.

She wasn't just "the money woman."

 

[Chibs]

She deserves it.

 

[AlexFlame116]

I mean of course she deserves it! Fantastic news and congratulations to Kathleen! It's awesome to see her recognized in that way!

This massively downplays her contributions.

 

[HammerOfThor]

Long overdue. She's had a major hand in many of my favorite movies.

While she is the money woman, money is power, and there's no way she had zero creative influence over the past 4 decades.

You just sign checks

Sign checks that the higher ups tell you to sign

In Kennedy's case, it's reading a script and saying "this is too good, you need to ruin it more."

😜

"Not enough ruined childhoods"

Well deserved.

 

[Garlador]

She'll be fired and replaced any day now...

Seriously, good on her!

She can't keep getting away with it

[vpricot]

I am rejuvenated every time something good happens for her and Star Wars fans get angry

 

[LBsquared]

Her filmography is utterly insane. Congrats to her.

And of course people are using her recognition to continue some moronic internet feud.

Inb4 "Disney bucks are buying a Bafta award to quietly shuffle Kathleen Kennedy out of Lucasfilm and cover up her firing!"

It was her idea to cast Adam Driver as Kylo Ren.

 

[BringBackSonics]

One of the greatest producers of our time. well deserved.

Not less insane than Disney paying critics to say nice things about a Lionsgate movie to make Rian look good for his next trilogy

 

[Lockheartilly9799]

I hope Kathleen does a BAFTA Deez Nuts joke on Star Wars haters.

She's great. She's an icon. <3

Oh I know. The grifters who cook up this shit actually invented the buying the award theory when she won her lifetime achievement Oscar last year.

[Scorpion Soldier]

Well deserved! The amount of influence she's had on Hollywood as we know it is insane.
