Forgot the year but Spike Lee's 'Do The Right Thing' wasn't even nominated for best film category :wtf:


Denzel for Malcolm X

Even though I'm a fan of Woody Allen's 'Annie Hall'.. It shouldn't have beaten Star Wars for best picture

:snoop: Pacino for Godfather 2

I honestly think he deserved it for Godfather 1, over Brando. He was just brilliant. His transformation from hero to villain from perfectly acted.

however he was put in best supporting category...and still lost:dwillhuh:

Like someone else said, Do The Right Thing only got one nomination; Danny Aiello got nominated, but the movie didn't get nominated for Best Picture or Spike Lee for director? :wtf:

Best Actor for A Beautiful Mind. Denzel got it for Training Day which I feel like was an apology for not getting one for his previous work like Glory. shyt belonged to Russell Crowe that year.

I still get da scust face thinkin bout how Sandra bullock won a fukkin Oscar for dat lifetime movie performance.
]
You can tell with awards like this its not so much for the role (though it helped) but for her whole career.Shes done a lot of good work but never gets the praise that was the academy saying thank you..
98 alone was full of them. I still disagree w/ A Beautiful Mind winning best pic and director. And Bulworth being nominated makes me hate the Oscars even more
This wasnt 98 brah

Best supporting actor? The fukk...he was in like 90% of the scenes lol. Oscars are more like lifetime achievement awards. They give awards out for weaker movies as a "we fukked up ignoring you all these years...here u go"

The Academy be on some bullshyt. Pacino didn't win for GF 2 but got one for Scent Of A Woman. That was their way of saying our bad. Denzel should have won for Malcolm X or Hurricane, but won for Training Day. Another our bad award. Scorsese should have won for Raging Bull or GoodFellas.

:sitdown:
nikkas overrate the fukk out of Russel Crowe in that movie. There was nothing about his performance that should make you think he deserves it over Denzel. Hell, he kept slipping into the Aussie accent at certain point.

Denzel and Spike Lee shouldve both won Oscars for Malcolm X.

Spike Lee should've won Best Documentary for 4 Little Girls
