It didn't qualify.... Nor, I believe It Follows qualified either... which is a PROBLEM for the Academy to fix, because by their rule, it must be enough orchestrated music throughout the film, and both were composed mostly by keyboard and drum programming. It's a bullshyt rule, I think that's why Creed's score was excluded too, even though he DID use small bits from an orchestra, but the majority of that score was programmed.

I did not know it did not get nominated. Bridge of spies does not deserve to be in that category. It did not deserve to be in best production design over crimson peak either
I felt Carter Burwell didn't deserve to be in that category as well. It was a pretty good score but it was so reminiscent of his Fargo score that it constantly bothered me.

Sidenote: Did you see Room?
What's the
for?Here's my thoughts on Room: Room (2015) starring Brie Larson

Jada Pinkett Smith Was Robbed of an Oscar Nomination
Although I didn't see Magic Mike XXL ... I have a hard time believing that Jennifer Jason Leigh got a nomination for best supporting actress in Hateful Eight over anybody much less Jada Pinkett

I heard the score to that movie a while back. It absolutely deserved its nom.
In fact this year was sort of loaded with great scores. Girlhood's was dope as well
Yea Room is looked at as the 3rd favorite to win Best Pic. Wondering if it can pull the upset and if I should go ahead and place this bet.
be careful, they'll call you a militant if you keep on like thisLemme get this straight...
-No nomination for Coogler, MBJ, Covinngton (Screenplay with Coogler), or the movie in general....but one for Stallone.
-No nomination for Idris, Attah or Beast of No Nation.
-No nomination for SOC or even F. Gary Gray...but for the damn screenwriters
-No nomination for either of the three even though only 8 out of a potential 10 movies got nominated for best picture.
The Oscars can sincerely get all the way the fukk outta here with that blatant bullshyt. fukk em.
I hope all three of those high-quality movies, as well as the people involved in it, get their just due in other award shows.

room is looked at more like 4th but with upset possibility. i've seen a lot of people say spotlight/big short could split since they target the same audience and it goes to revenant.

All White, All Night. I just can't even support this mess. I understand these are establishment awards but the blatant racial disrespect is out of control. Stop acting like films with Black, Latino or Asian actors haven't done well this year. "Creed" was robbed including Michael B and Ryan, "Beast of No Nation" was robbed from Idris. "Sicario" was robbed for Benicio. "Straight outta Compton" was robbed and SMH @ the White Writers being nominated. Cube and Dre should of pushed more for Black screenwriters to write the movie. Will Smith was robbed from "Concussion". Honestly I think Samuel L deserved props for his "Hateful Eight" performance. Oscar Issacs from "Ex-Mancia" was good was well. So this bias and idea that there weren't performances "Good enough" is clearly racist and why "Oscarssowhite" is getting ethered for the 2nd year in a row.
Boycott for me. I don't want to hear the excuses. It's up to the Academy to prove they don't have a diversity problem cause they clearly do. Blacks only win for mostly degrading roles. As for the show I only want Leo to finally win and John Williams to win on his 50th Nomination. I want Stallone to win for his Legendary career but hopefully he doesn't forget Michel B and Ryan again like the Globes. that's all I care about. Then they have the nerve to have Chris Rock host and have a Black Woman as the President. It's a pathetic state of affiars. I not even upset because the bias isn't surprising. Also I don't view it as "White Acceptance". The Oscars are like the Super Bowl in filmmaking. Of course you want to get to the top in your field. With that said it's clear the odds and the game is rigged so Black, Latino and Asian actors shouldn't hold much value in this. LOL @ Weeknd being the only black person nominated in the whole show. SMH. Black Filmmakers need to continue to push being behind the camera and not just in front it.

Didn't know Adnan was on that 
*he assumed the writers for Straight Outta Compton were black so that's why screenplay got nominated.*
(out of 5)
Dude really thinks he's a critic.

I think it won't be clear until like a day before the awards
