Absolutely :why:

How many predominately black films over the years thats missed out on that recognition? The more black films nominated the more quality black films Hollywood will put out.
We should just focus on putting out our own films
Hollywood has let us know how they feel about black films too many times

I thought that movie was so overrated....

Why was it so good to you?..


To you, it's merely a long two hour car chase. To US, it's an epic adventure to the road to Valhalla!

Plus the deeper symbolic subtext regarding our religion, politics, social climate, environmental impact, masculinity and feminism.

Pretty much all the nods were obvious.

The only thing I'm in disagreement with is the obvious omissions of Creed, SOC, and Beast out of the Best Picture category. :smh:

They could of put 10 in this year. I mean seriously? :what:

Ridley Scott definitely got snubbed. The director from Room got a nod over him. :snoop:

Oh and Benicio Del Toro and Elba not getting a nomination hurts but Supporting Actor category was a motherfukker this year.

Supporting actor was just too strong this year. It was like best actor of the past few years.

I really liked ejiofor in z for zachariah but no one saw it.

Also wish oscar isaac would have gotten ex machina love

Both Ejiofor and Z for Zachariah do not deserve any awards for that movie.

Sounds like Leo in The Revenant.

BTW, Tom Hardy is nominated for that film and not Mad Max.
i know, someone made a post about his body of work for the year like that should have factored in
