The movie HAD a limited theater release thus qualifying it for the Oscars tho... :dahell:
To be fair breh it was released in 31 theaters and made 90k. Hardly anyone saw it that way.

I think moreso academy members possibly look down on it for being a netflix movie. A lot of people don't want that release model to take off. Also less urgency since it's always on netflix. Leads to an an ill get around to it mindset

Pretty much. The academy sees Netflix as the camera phone and they are Kodak. There days of being a powerhouse are coming to an end.
That and Breh let's be honest a committee of old white men have no interest in a movie about a group of young black men from South Central LA.

Idris Elba is in England making his money as the Lead in Luther so I'm sure he's not to bothered about the Oscars lol.

At the end of the day not enough black movies are being made and the only ones that get nominated are about slaves. We should also stop putting so much importance on the Oscars and focus role equality or creating our own Hollywood

Come on breh.... how many "pounds" do you think this guy is really making or caking off them very few eps of Luther every few years?:mjlol:

This last season he only did 2 eps!:russ:

He's probably making quite a few pounds actually considering his star. Not to mention he could find easy work in England if he wanted to.

Yeah if we can keep up the steam am I don't know make a fantasy movie or one of those tween novels that would be really good. I hope this really happens and if does #ThankYouJada
