You're oversimplifying a complex situation to the point of adding nothing to the discussion.

It's hilarious how whenever you click into a seriously moronic retard's post history /r/CringeAnarchy is in there like clockwork

Hey now, some are alright

Says the r/drama regular

SPITIN FIRE SON

DELET THIS

u/gearydigit after the last year of bitchy hashtagging you and anyone who believes Moonlight didn't win the whiny babies affirmative action Oscar is pathologically retarded.

I would bet if Arrival came out in any of the years in the last decade, it would have beaten out at least half of them.

I feel like Argo in 2012 marked a shift from giving the award to the best movie to giving the award to the most shameless Hollywood self jerk off session. What I'm saying is that it's basically all Ben Afflecks fault

The Oscars have been getting shittier for a long time. I hope Eddie Redmayne drowns in his own blood for polluting this world with all his garbage acting in Oscar-bait movies. And remember the Arist, that took all the oscars? Yeah, no one else remembers it, either.

TBF this was the strongest oscars in a minute most of the films were at the very least good and a few will most likely be classics of their respective genres in a few years. Eddie Redmayne is the absolute worst though.

The Artist was actually good though imo

I hope Eddie Redmayne drowns in his own blood for polluting this world with all his garbage acting in Oscar-bait movies.

WTF bro Jupiter Ascending is an American treasure.

The Artist was a great film. Go watch your superhero movies.

I actually really dislike Superhero movies.

Except for the Dark Knight Rises, because that was a ground-breaking experimental movie.

Meh, I think it started with Crash. That film and all of the awards it got was basically just Hollywood jerking off over how much they all care about race relations.

At least Crash was a cohesive and well intertwined story that everyone could relate to

Cohesive story? It's just a disjointed bundle of people being racist and then not

I think Manchester by the Sea got its due (best actor, best original screenplay), but out of the three most likely to win (La La Land, Moonlight, and Manchester by the Sea) I think I enjoyed Manchester by the Sea the most.

Casey Affleck was good in it, but that movie was boring as fuck.

everything is ben affleck's fault

Wait...how was Argo a jerk off session?

It was a run of the mill thriller that did nothing special and had a really contrived ending but I think Hollywood particularly latched onto it because of the whole "look how brave and courageous we actors are every single day" vibe. In real life those actors were not in any imminent danger when leaving the country, and the day to day danger they faced was greatly exaggerated

What actors? Wasn't it State Department employees pretending to be actors/film people?

Yeah sorry, should have put "actors" in parentheses

So...if it wasn't actors that Hollywood could strok over...man I feel kind of stupid asking this...how is it a jackoff session?

Arrival was a movie that stupid people thought was smart.

Does SF ever win Oscars?

Hell or High Water was the only memorable film on the slate, imho.

moonlight was rly good. i wish they had expanded on juan's death a little.

u/acidcock thoughts

I'm so fucking pissed Arrival didn't get it. Hollywood basically had a choice, movie loaded with all the right idpol touchstones or movie that jerked it off hardest. When will good sci fi get the acknowledgement it deserves?

I didn't see that movie, but I just read a description of it and it sounds fucking badass.

I saw La la land and moonlight and hidden figures and fences, and I liked moonlight the best of all of them, even though it did peter after the second act.

arrival was an amazing movie but as a piece of art moonlight is more impactful

Not really. It's a story that's been told a million different times. I thought it was ok, but stale.

Arrival is an incredible movie! Very thought provoking and unlike interstellar, which I also loved, its plot is a lot more "human" focused, which gives it great impact. Really great narrative and story structure

I really want to see a sci fi win best picture, I've been blue balled since district 9.

Premise was awesome, Amy and the rest of the cast did great, and the special effects are flawless

But it never takes off, looks grey and dull and has a ridiculous ending

It's still a good film and we need more decent big budget science fiction films, but after all the hype it got that film was a disappointment for me. Nocturnal Animals is the better Amy Adams movie.

La La Land was better than Arrival, don't @ me

Youre a fucking retard scumsucker fuck you

Hurrrr half decent sci fi movie deserves Oscar. You should be ashamed of your existence. KYS

U first cuck.

> implying a drama user has a wife to cuck him in the first place

Hey now it was at least fully decent

I actually really liked it I'm just fucking around. I do think La La Land was better though.

arrival was mediocre and so are you

At least I'm not a fucking retard.

you literally post on r/drama

U2

U started it

I'm just glad to see /u/GearyDigit branching out into other areas of Reddit and away from gay dragon porn.

Moonlight didn't win simply because it was about a gay black man but, if you disagree with me, you're a racist homophobe.

Moonlight literally only won because it's about a gay black dude. Literal Oscar bait.

I mean, I don't pay much attention to the Oscars, but how often has the Best Picture been about gay black dudes?

Almost like Sjw agenda has become the norm in the past couple of years.

What da fuck are you talking about?

Oh look a gaygenda film supporter and stupid.

Calm down, you're being hysterical.

the only movie that won an oscar and actually deserved it this year was suicide squad

D A M A G E D

If LaLa Land had deserved the Oscar they would have called them up on the stage and handed them one.

End of story.

oh u

Hey, /u/gearydigit, remember when Twitter was full of "haha white tears black power get raped mayos" despite the fact that three white dudes made the film?

Don't you think whitey needs to not be allowed to write movies about black people due to the nonshared lived experience?

That GearyDigit dude sure loves the expression "white mediocrity".
