Beat me to it! lol
Exactly right!
Eight categories and their winners were going to be announced before the televised portion of the event and later edited into the broadcast. These were documentary short, film editing, makeup and hairstyling, original score, production design, animated short, live action short and sound. Many Oscar viewers and participants were very upset over these omissions.

Yep! You can always count on a leftie eventually exposing themselves away as the nutjobs they are. Their Trump derangement always exposes itself, complete with obscenities. It's incredible. Leftists don't force their views on anyone? Really? Everything they talk about is politically based, and they're always happy to make others adopt their whacked out views. Just look at our schools; they're starting on our kids now. They have to be taught about how racist America is, they have to be taught about homosexuals and sex, they have to be taught how America (and only America) is polluting the planet and causing global warming. They're basically taught to hate America.
The same reason why black, brown and yellow people have their own "special" countries. Why is being white a terrible thing to you lefties?
It's amazing. For all of you liberals championing Jane Campion's "vision" of the old west and gay cowboys, she actually ends up portraying the gay character as a repressed lunatic who wants to destroy every decent person around him. I've always been amused at these writers and directors who want to glorify homosexuals but wind up making them into sociopathic psychotics.
Are you for real? This was one of the most idiotic, heavy-handed pieces of garbage I've ever seen. This was not satire; it was propaganda for the climate change alarmists. I mean really? Are we to believe that anyone in their right mind is going to tell someone not to look at something that's right in front of their face? Climate change is debatable; a comet in the the sky is not. This was a stupid script and a stupid movie made by a stupid man.
First of all if you know that Chistopher Nolan films are complicated then why did you plop down your hard-earned money from your hard day of work? Watch something like The Croods or The Call of the Wild.
Secondly just because you don't understand the plotline of a complex film doesn't mean it's a terrible movie. Christopher Nolan is one of the most intelligent directors in all of cinema right now, and I personally love his movies BECAUSE of his complex and different stories. Memento and Inception were brilliant films. I don't understand all of the hate this guy gets. Is it because his films are too complicated for you people to sit through or is it because he's just smarter than you? Is this some kind of inferiority thing?
Thirdly there are so many different alternatives to watching a movie in a theatre now, especially with Covid locking everyone inside their homes. Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Amazon. There's TONS of stuff to watch. Why do you go to a theatre where you can't just turn off something you don't like or change the channel?
Advice: if you want to enjoy a movie without thinking, DON'T GO SEE A CHRISTOPHER NOLAN FILM!
The story for An American in Paris is so much better than that for Singin' in the Rain. The music for An American in Paris is Gershwin; how much better can you get? The dance numbers are far superior in An American in Paris; that dance number at the end of Singin' in the Rain was horrible. It went on and on and on and didn't even fit in to the story. One of the best singing numbers was cut from the beginning of Singin' in the Rain, that of Debbie Reynolds' character crooning over Gene Kelly's character. That would've set up the fan obsession that she had for Don Lockwood beforehand. And even though Debbie Reynolds held her own during the dance numbers, Leslie Caron was the far superior dancer. I could go on and on. I enjoyed An American in Paris far more than Singin' in the Rain.
So that must make all of the people who participated in these sham awards racists, wouldn't you agree?

Not one poster mentioned the fact that the whole damn movie is based on a combination of a manga series of comics and a manga-based movie. Duh all the characters have big eyes! Get it?
"Passover starts on the First Full moon after the Vernal Equinox, and Easter is immediately after this because of the connexion to Passover. The earliest record we have of Christians Celebrating Pascha is in the early Second Century, which records it as established custom, likely going back to the earliest Church in the First century."
It's amazing how much misinformation there is on these boards. Passover does not start on the first full moon after the Vernal Equinox. It is tied to the Jewish calendar, which has it falling on the 15th of the Hebrew month of Nisan, which falls somewhere between the Gregorian months of March and April. It is usually a Saturday, but that can change. That calendar is indeed tied to the lunar phases, but is totally different from the Christian method of determining Easter. The Christian calendar has Easter falling on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Vernal Equinox. That's it. The Jewish celebration of Passover can fall anywhere from the middle of March to the middle of April. In 2016 it was actually on the 23rd, 4 weeks AFTER Easter, whereas in 2019 it happened on the Saturday before Easter. In 2020 it was on the Thursday before Easter. It is not tied to the same time as Easter. Go read Wikipedia; it's your friend.
Agreed. Anyone who thinks the moon landing was faked is a flat-earther. There is NO freaking way that those images were faked; in 1969 the best we could do for special effects in cinema was dressing a bunch of people up to look like apes or building a model of a spaceship and flying it on wires. Give me a break please.
Call me uninformed but where do you watch first-run movies while sitting on a bench?
Nice try with your liberal PC label.
Mundane? I loved Mousehunt and Rango, and his Pirates of the Caribbean movies were visionary. How does anyone make a multi-million dollar blockbuster movie franchise based on a theme park ride?
I am also glad that the boards were moved here. If you can weed through the trolls and morons there's some good film discussion on this site.
I think that there are a lot of the same users too. I understand now why so many of the posters here hate so many movies. They just don't follow them or understand them enough, so they automatically assume that they're crappy movies, when they're not.
He appears in another pretty good movie, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. If you are a Dane Dehaan fan you will absolutely love this film. He gets to use his action abilities here.
Of course! There was hype out the wazoo. What rock were you living under?
