Green Book made white people in Hollywood (at least through my anecdotal conversations) feel good. Me personally, I knew what it was as soon as I saw the trailer. I'm sure the performances were great, but yes, they took a book that was valuable to black Americans and made it about white people.

Are you really surprised? Why are you still watching the Oscars and getting upset?

:mjpls:

How long are white people going to play this, “black people mentioning racism makes them the real racists” thing?

How the hell did they come up with that?

And it’s funny how working is all about personal responsibility, yet Republicans want to take credit for black people working.

Damn why the hate for Crash?, I Love that film
That movie should not have been nominated for an Oscar, let alone win. At the time, the Academy had an agenda against :wrist:, so the film that everyone thought should win, "Brokeback Mountain", and the other movie about a :wrist: were snubbed. The movie I thought should've won, "Munich" was world's better than Crash...which was nothing more than a race bait film. Cinderella Man was better than Crash and it didn't even get nominated.

The Academy threw Spike's movie in multiple categories and shut out 2 other black films that deserved more recognition IMO.

:francis:

Props to Spike tho

It won't even about black filmmakers at this point though. I don't think Spike would have acted out if Roma or The Favourite won. Green Book winning is an insult to real films who didn't get props.

This happens every year though. :russ:

The film taking Best Picture is rarely a bad film, but oh so often is it a middling piece of conservative storytelling that makes liberal Hollywood feel good about themselves.
