Best actor for Affleck? :what:

No Best Director nod was surprising...but actor? He was nothing special on screen.

Why exactly is this award or any award taken seriously by anyone. Why does the opinion and taste of a few people mean so much.

The day when artist across the board starts turning their backs on awards, will be one of the best days in the Artistic fields.

I look at it like this

People that make good movies are telling us what movies they really like and might be worth watching and it's good starting point if you're getting into movies, watching old movies that have been nominated. I've watched dozens of great movies because they have gotten a nom that I hadn't even heard about before like In the Heat of the Night, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, Anatomy of a Murder, Twelve O'Clock High, Witness for the Prosecution, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Judgment at Nuremberg, The Conversation, Lenny, The Towering Inferno, Network, The Verdict, Mississippi Burning etc.

It's all well and, but why does there taste and opinions matter, and hold so much weight in the industry.

Award shows goes completely against what art is about, art is subjective. There is no right or wrong, or good or bad. It's all about what moves you.

But hey let the farce continue, everyone likes holding a shiny trophy, and being told they are the best.

But for me award shows are all about the people putting it on, making themselves feel important


And what moves a bunch of elitist snobs, shouldn't be the end all and be all, off and industry.

Life of Pi should win best picture, everything else doesn't matter to me. Argo was good but I think it's being overrated. But I've only seen it once.
