Snubbed by Oscar

Rating: Null/10 (19 January 2014)

I will never understand the Academy Awards. Even if I live to be 100 years old and study their choices every day I will never ever in my life understand the Oscars. I just don't get what their process is. Who are these people and how do they choose? I am pretty much convinced at this point that their number one interest as far as choosing nominees in the big categories (picture, director, actor, actress, writing) is that it should be a movie that grossed a lot of money since the Oscars really are about Hollywood advertising themselves to the masses. Great films get snubbed every year. Oscar turned in a great performance in this movie and it should easily have been nominated for writing, directing and or picture, but it was overlooked. This isn't the best film every but it's definitely better than some of the movies they did choose. The other problem is they give nods to people who they snubbed previously and realize they shouldn't have (i.e. Martin Scorcese for his movie Wolf, Leo Dicaprio for acting since he has never won, even though Wolf isn't nearly as good a movie as this). Oh well maybe next year!
