The Official 89th Academy Awards Thread - ABC, 8:30PM ET

[FaTaL]

This sh!t is rigged

Why they have two cards with different winners unless their was some late night bidding going on?

That's why I don't watch it

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Wait... moonlight actually won best pic? I thought lala won? I turned the channel when I saw they won what fukkery happened

You missed the fukkery lmao

 

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

Fell asleep?

Lol nah I just turned it off once best picture was announced thinking it was over

 

[Supa]

I disagree. I don't think it was a gay movie, but more of a coming of age story. The lone "gay scene" can be compared to Sug Avery and Celie's tryst. It was damn near the same movie/premise - with a person struggling with the grips of life while finding themselves in a world that bullies them for being perceived as one way. The first first person to show him love became the one that showed him love, the second person that showed him love was a conflicting character in his life. He was asexual for most of the movie, but obviously lonely. Who cares if was made by a gay man, when they didn't even play up to the "gay".

My problem is that it doesn't flow, making the watching experience shaky for me. Instead of being shot in 3 parts/scenes, I would've suggested the teenager life, more of the adult life, and sprinkling the child life throughout those 2 parts. The childhood part didn't really need to be there other than the 2 scenes with Juan.

That had to be there to establish how he was ostracized and confused about his sexuality at an early age. He carried that from a child to adulthood. The most powerful scene in the movie (which got Ali the Oscar) was in the childhood part.

What the hell happened?

I love this thread

1 - La La Land - thread goes "boooooooooo, I knew it! Those racists CACs love jerking off Hollywood, this was a clear winner from day one. Why can't Moonlight win?"
2 - fukkery - Thread goes WTF
3 - Moonlight - Thread goes "boooooo! This was a set up to go viral. A total conspiracy. Also fukk this homo film"

I don't care about the Oscars, but when I heard what happened I had to come on here and see the Coli take, because I KNEW it would go down just like that.

Last post of the night brehs.

Imagine if they announced an all black winner .....and then snatched it away because of a mistake was made. shyt would have been

Denzel might have went Training Day on em

Yeah man, I ain't seen none of these movies and don't know who really deserved it, but damn sure glad it didn't go down the other way.


Not that I trust that some freaking Hollywood-pleasing cheesy-ass looking musical really deserves all that, but whatever.

What the hell happened?

Warren had the wrong envelope. He has the lead actress envelope told Faye to read it she read la la land because the lead actress envelope reads "Emma stone for la la land" and then all the producers and cast is on the stage giving speeches and the whole 9 only for Warren or someone to tell everyone it was moonlight and he had the wrong envelope. Then the producer says they didn't win. Moonlight is the winner then assures them it's not a joke

 

[NobodyReally]

People blaming Leo now...

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Warren should've trusted his instinct and said something but he didn't. It's funny cuz several news sites state that he read the wrong winner when Faye did. Either way it's both their faults and mainly the card handlers/producer of the show. What a fukk up.

look at the Rock
He's ready to beat someone's candy ass

Rock is used to this level of fukkery due to his former job. He's contemplating whether or not this is his cue to run on stage and hit a Rock Bottom on everyone.

Look at Meryl Streep though. She looks like she's been possessed by the ghost of a dead king.

 

[Rekkapryde]

just happy cacsaw ridge didn't win cause fukk mel gibson.
i might watch eventually bc i hear its really good...

He's doing a Vietnam themed movie next wit a pack of nikkaz

 

[chemicalsword]

I call bullshyt. People (black and white) only pull this 'agenda' shyt when a straight white male doesn't win the award. You're so used to straight white males winning that if they don't win, you think something is up. That brainwashing is strong. Moonlight is an incredible movie. It transcended race, sexuality, and gender. People were touched coming out of that movie, and the actors acted their ass off. And now you have black folks talking about an agenda. It's sickening. If the academy has an agenda please explain to us what message they were trying to send when when No Country for Old Men won? The Departed? American Beauty? Titanic? The fukking English Patient? Braveheart?

I hate this agenda chatter. usually done by the same homophobes who instinctively feel it necessary to pronounce their heterosexuality through displays of disgust towards anything homosexual at every turn. diminishing the accomplishments of a deserving cast of writers, director, actors etc is just plain irresponsible...

 

[Professor Emeritus]

so there was just an envelope that says la la land wins best picture? I don't see how this is Warren or faye's fault, if they were privvy to who really won having been part of the board doing the votes they can only read what's on paper. I am no conspiracy theorist but this seems like a cac's (with clouts) revenge to oscarsowhite. Like we will give them the award but let's do it in the most backhanded way to rob them of their moment

Nah, from what I read now it didn't say Best Picture, it was the card for a different award that La La Land one. So it had "La La Land" name on it but it had the actress's name, not the producer's name. Beatty figured something was wrong, but the actress up there just spilled it out and they rolled with it, figuring that it was just a "partial mistake", like someone gave them the wrong La La Land card but it was still La La Land that won. There were a few people in the territory that knew who the real winner was though, and they had to get it straightened out.

Too obvious at this point. ..agenda too real.

Then you got the chick from LaLa Land saying "it's the best movie ever" ...

...too real.
Raise ya sons, brethren.

It's a plot to reduce the Black population.

They trying to turn the young boys gay so they won't raise sons.

Hidden Figures same thing - they trying to get the young girls into math and science so they get PhD's and delay childbearing and have fewer children.

Fences is about discouraging men from spreading their seed.


It's all part of the long con Black genocide agenda.

 

[Professor Emeritus]

But that's the thing about "truly representing us" is that we all aren't the same. @SirBiatch asked if any black people care about back to the future. For him, as a black man, he doesn't and that shyt is foreign to him. For me and my people, back to the future is like sacred text lol. The black experience isn't monolithic. There are things we share in common but we're all different. Someone who grew up in Miami is going to have a different experience than me growing up in the D.C. area. Someone who grew up in poverty will have a different set of experiences than someone who came from wealth or a comfortable middle class situation. The black experience is boyz in the hood, menace to society, new jack city, Selma, think like a man, Malcolm x, fences, hidden figures,and moonlight all at once. I watch boyz in the hood and menace to society and I can't relate to any of that. But I can relate to boomerang or the core theme in moonlight or self discovery and trying to figure out who I am as a teenager and young adult. Or the relationship drama in About last night.

Cosby feels more real to me and my experiences than good times. Doesn't mean either one is wrong and not true. It speaks to the diversity of us as a people and that should always be celebrated

Damn man, we must post in different forums cause I don't know who you are, but I didn't know we had people posting like this here. Rep-worthy shyt.

 

[Batter Up]

look at the Rock
He's ready to beat someone's candy ass

If he learned how to turn on those types of reactions when the camera's were rolling he might actually be nominated for once
