Your Name not up but Boss Baby is.


Go fuck yourself, Oscars.
For fucking real. That snub is an absolute crime.

So I guess no boycott this year?
The #OscarsSoWhite movement was fine, in theory, until the movement completely died once a handful of afro actors were honored.

Nobody gave a shit when white and afro actors were nominated, but Asian, Hispanic, Arab, Polynesian, Native American, etc. actors were left out in the cold. The movement's message kind of rang hollow when it was clearly done with just one minority in mind.

Let's definitely give people of afro heritage more love, but let's also do it for the other racial backgrounds I mentioned. Sadly, those groups largely remain ignored.
Shouldn’t the awards just go to the best actors and movies? Why is everything about race?

Probably because I was responding to the subtle reference of the year when the Oscars were accused of race issues :lol:

Spas-

Bullcrap it was!

Wonder Woman, Blade Runner, War for the Planet of the Apes, John Wick 2, Logan, Dunkirk, The Last Jedi, Kong Skull Island, Spiderman, Thor Ragnarok, Jumanji, IT, Atomic Blonde, The Shape of Water, Coco, Lego Batman, Split, Wind River, Get Out, Your Name, American Made, Marshall, The Post.

Whether you're into artsy dramas or the geeky blockbusters, 2017 kicked major ass.
Hardly any of those movies caught any interest of mine. Dunkirk was good but I was a bit underwhelmed. Too many buildups to near misses. S

I don't care about super hero movies.

King Kong... meh.

Jumanji I have heard is better than expected, might catch that on a hangover day.

Split was mediocre IMO.

Get Out was one of my favourites of the year.

I have absolutely no interest in watching star wars.

I want to watch shape of water at some point. It seems interesting.

Haven't watched American made, Marshall or the post.

When I say that I didn't like 2017 movie-wise it's because I just really wasn't excited for anything except Dunkirk. Maybe I looked the wrong places but I just feel like it was underwhelming. I wasn't blown away by any of the movies I saw. I also think the list of Oscar nominees is meh.

Whatever the nominations are, I can tell you that Nolan will not win 100% guaranteed. I enjoyed Dunkirk quite a bit but it's certainly far from his best work.

It's still BS that Your Name wasn't even nominated, but Coco really was outstanding.
