[David_TheMan]

Last year The Martian and The Revenant which both made over $500 M's worldwide were both nominated.

Okay, who said they shouldn't have been nominated?

Nobody, but you're crying that successful movies aren't nominated

I'm not crying about anything and I never said successful movies aren't nominated, i literally said there shouldn't be arbitrary restrictions on why successful movies aren't nominated or arbitrary restrictions on genre films.

We have a sci-fi film nominated this year. Mad Max Fury Road was nominated last year. Sounds like you're just mad Marvel films aren't getting that nod

I have actually argued that action movies, comedies, and genre films from non-prestige movies should get recognition and not be arbitrairly blocked.
But hey if you think I care about marvel/disney shyt as much as you clearly do, so be it.
