Awards Season: The Road to the 2017 Oscars.

[TheGodling]

I think La La Land will end up getting the same type of Oscar push as The Artist got. Its a romantic dramedy/musical that makes the audience feel good and doesn't tough on any sensitive topics.
The Academy (and the older white voters) will work hard as fukk to make sure it wins just to avoid having any political hot buttons during the awards show itself.

Yeah, the Academy is conservative as fukk and hates challenging the status quo.

A black and white silent film in 2011 is challenging the status quo.

That movie was not challenging the status quo. It was a feel good love story at its core and the fact that it had the conceit of being a "silent" film just added to the charm of it.

Pretty much. It didn't go against the grain at all, unless you count multiplying the nostalgia factor by ten "going against the grain".

Making a black and white silent is going against the grain post 1970 no matter how you spin it.
I'm not saying it's a good movie tho.

Don't you love how the Academy picks & chooses when they wanna push a political hot button issue & which issues they wanna push?



I have no interest in "La La Land", but seeing how these Award season politics have played out I have no problem with it winning. I just wish black folks would stop caring so much & putting so much damn stock in the Oscars plantation. Take pride & support the Image Awards instead like I've chosen to.

Every year I care less about award shows. And after watching this video about how Oscar nominations work I care even less

Jimmy Kimmel sucks so I am expecting this to be one of the worst Oscars in recent history.
