Name something from Women and People of Color that blew your mind and it was undeniably great? Talk just like a latte drinking cac.
I think it's very strange you don't think there is anything of note from any women or POC this year. You're either white or trolling. But alright, since you want to argue and it's Sunday, I'll indulge you. I doubt you've seen the movies I'm about to name, but maybe you can use this as a recommendation list on the off-chance you want to hop off of that white dikk you love riding.
1. The Last Black Man in San Franscisco for writing, directing, and acting. It was out of the box, poignant, and interesting. Joe Talbot and Jimmie Fails should have gotten a director's nod and Jonathan Major and Jimmie Fails really acted their asses off and deserved noms as well.
2. The Farewell- for writing, directing (by a woman), and acting. The director Lulu Wang deserved a nod.
3. Little Women- for directing and acting. The most moving adaptation to date and the direction was fresh and inspired. Greta definitely deserved a nod.
4. Lupita Nyong'o performance in 'US' was probably one of the hardest and most riveting things I've seen from an actress in years. Like even if you didn't like the movie, her performance and ability to play both roles against herself was amazing.
5. Dolemite is My Name was BETTER than OUATIH, IMO. I honestly believe the fanfare over OUATIH is a bunch of old white men reminiscing about their golden era.
6. In the Best Actor and Actress and Supporting categories, the cast from Parasite should have been included. Their picture is being nominated all over the place, it doesn't make any sense.
Now you may not agree with these choices, but I think you should think about the fact that anything nominated not white and male automatically is viewed with scrutiny and as 'pandering' only underscores that the default standard for excellence is white and male. The fact that a POC or woman has to be phenomenal AND universally loved to even be considered alongside other white male nominees that were not universally loved or phenomenal points to a serious problem. Who's really being pandered to here?
