Oscars Controversy

I have lost complete respect for the Smith family. I will say this again, Will Smith turned down "The Matrix", "Django Unchained", I think a Pixar movie, and a few other top movies that eventually got nominations because either he wasn't going to be the lead or the director wouldn't agree to his changes to the script or salary for said movie. He said no to the Matrix and instead did that crapfest, Wild Wild West produced by Mr. crazy, Jon Peters. Also his latest film, "Concussion" got mixed reviews from critics; so there weren't many chances of him even getting a nomination despite his performance. This happens alot and it has nothing to do with race; so these SJWS or celebs trying to jump on the bandwagon need to stop pulling that bullshit card in the media.

Yes there are problems with the Oscars, The Grammys, The Golden Globes, The Rock N' Roll Hall of Shame, and a bunch of other penis measuring contests...I mean...award shows. But this isn't one of them. Also Jada...sit down. You turned down getting a pretty good deal doing multiple seasons of that Gotham TV show on FOX; but only wanting to do one season and then later talked bad about the program after you finished filming. She's so full of shit and so are her bratty, over-privileged kids. Jaden can't act out of a paper bag now that he's an adult and M. Night's movie, "After Earth" proved it. Also doesn't help that Will Smith wanted some Scientology references or symbolism within the movie's script. That's why Will got a producer and co-writer on the screenplay credit while M. Night and I think Fox wanted to hide from the fucking movie. Also their daughter, Wilo or whoever did that one lame pop song that was just a minor hit on the charts only because her daddy had the power to do that. What does Will Smith want his kids to become the next Rockwell? lol

I sincerely hope Suicide Squad is great and Smith can work with a team of actors; but right now I'm so sick of this pointless drama that the press keeps festering and people blindly following it without checking the facts. Shame on some of these celebs for backing them and I hope Chris Rock realizes they are full of shit (highly doubt it) before the actual ceremony.

Kind of nauseating but more just the self importance of Hollywood and 'awards' in general for me. Such posturing self-importance. IF there is in an imbalance of representation of minorities then obviously that is not cool, but it's hard to feel too sorry for these folk who earn tens of millions of dollars.

Yeah. Plus the Oscars are a damn joke now. They don't even nominate the best performances/films anymore. And the winners are due to politicking and marketing campaigns from infleuntial producers and the like.

Also the fact that half the movies that are nominated weren't even in the theaters at the time for the movie going public to watch.
