Well, that's bizarre and disappointing. I didn't hate Green Book, but Roma, along with most of the other nominations, were considerably more deserving.

Da fuck. Somehow the found an even worse choice than BP.

The favourite got robbed even harder than The Phantom thread last year.

White people making a racism movie for other white people
ill say this, dick cheney and bohemian are definitely worse.
I don't get it either. It was fucking great.
It was pretty entertaining but it's (rightfully) mired in controversy due to its dumbed down handling of racial tension. Not a special movie in any way.
Huh. Interesting. Well I guess I need to see it for myself.

In a year that had both BlacKkKlansman and Black Panther, you pick Green Book instead.

BlackkKlansman was the better film about racism but oh it doesn't make white Academy voters feel good about themselves.

Spike got Driving Miss Daisy'd again. At least he got the Screenplay award.

I skipped an advance showing of the Best Picture Oscar winning Green Book because I was busy and also the movie looked bad

Academy thinks this is a good idea, it's about racial divides, you know, it's current news and shows the academy has its finger on the pulse of America. Lol

Just remember, this movie about the Negro Travel Green Book and a black pianist primarily is due to the white guy.

Somewhere.
Well I am just happy that Spider-Verse won and this was paced better so there is that. Will get around seeing Roma and The Favorite.
