Made for tv film wins oscar based on race in america

Rating: 6/10 (23 December 2019)

I like to think the Oscar's are based on quality of content, but for many years I feel politics has influenced this award. Since the early 2000s african Americans among others have felt like they were under represented in the Oscars. So we have had years where gays won, african americans have won, all seeming to follow years where there was a big deal made by the acting community. Me I am a mindset of I don't care if you are black white purple gay or prefer the company of chickens. That being said I haven't seen all the films nominated for the Oscar's in 2019 but did see roma, Roma was an exceptional film made by a master filmmaker in the style of another master filmmaker. This was a made for tv movie made by the man who gave us dumb and dumber. Don't get me wrong kingpin and Mary are exceptional comedies. But this is not a great filmmaker making a great film. This is an ok director making an ok movie. Nothing special here, which appeals to the masses I guess, but to a film buff I simply am sick of movies getting awards because it's time for a color, gender, or sexual preference to get that award. They should always be based on merit anything else cheapens an award, and gets me to waste 2 hours watching a film that really was not worth watching.
