So what the hell is going on with this Oscars stuff?
Surely the reason mostly white people are in the running is that mostly white people had the worthy roles this year. Because many were based on real pepole.

I want you to read aloud that last sentence and then reconsider what the hell is going on.

That this year movies were being made about white people rather than black people?
Blame history for that. Not the film industry.
I've just checked and yup, 4 of the 5 best actor films are biographical.

Just watched "The Interview" I understand why Kim got a bit miffed about the movie. Nice comedy-action bromance in overdrive.

Straight Outta Compton - biographical movie about NWA rap group.  Not nominated.
Concussion - biographical movie about a black doctor who investigated NFL concussions.  Not nominated.

I haven't seen either movie so I can't say whether they were deserving or not.  But you can't say that it's because there were no biographical movies about black people being made.

After voting Shakespeare in Love best picture I can only conclude the Academy is pure evil so no wonder they engage in horrendous racism.

Zmiinyi defenders: "Russian warship, go fuck yourself."

I have seen Straight Outta Compton. Nothing in it is worthy of an Oscar nomination.

Biopics are way overrated.

Biopics are way overrated.

Especially when they are autobiopic. The thing is produced by Dre, Ice-Cube & Eazy-E's widow.

Tyr is right in that the Academy voters do seem to love them.

Sony rebooting "Labyrinth". Best or worst timing ever; I can't decide.  :hmm:
