[why America hates the Oscars]
Hollywood lost most of its luster the day it started calling movies “art”. Anyone who thinks movies are artistic is part of the reason it will fall. Movies are nothing but crap designed by communists to make shifts to the left in society by brainwashing the young and the weak minded. Did you know its an “unwritten rule” that every actor has to do a pro-gay or multi-racial movie at some point in their career? Yep, thats one the elites do not want you to know.

"Yep, thats one the elites do not want you to know. "
It's amazing how you people seem to know every deep, dark, ultra-secret thing that "they" don't want us to know.
Almost as if you make them up as you go.
"its an “unwritten rule”"
Which is why it's not a rule. Maybe it's just popular.
"the day it started calling movies “art”"
Some are. I forget which, but I think they exist.
Please kill yourself, you usless worm.
And stop using the first (and second) part of my name, you little shit.
Yes, Hollywood has an agenda, and here it is - MAKE MONEY BY GIVING THE PUBLIC WHATEVER SELLS! Seems like the majority of us want what they turn out, so quit bitching. If you don't like it start your own studio.
I'm not a great lover of movies but you made some interesting and contentious points there. I'd like to know when you think that they started calling movies art? How do you know about the unwritten rule? How do you know movies are designed by communists to make left shifts in society? Who are the elites?
As is usual, I won't hold my breath.

And you're privy to it how? Sounds like a conspiracy to me.

The same way that xtianity lost any respect it might have had the day it started calling it's fairy tales and myths "truth and reality".
People who hate the Oscars probably hate it for the same reason I do. They're sick of watching filthy rich actors get praised and awarded, as if the millions they get for their work isn't enough, and as if they don't get enough attention.
I only agree with you in the sense that most of what Hollywood turns out for moviegoers is crap. But give me a break, this is a terrible conspiracy theory.
Movies are nothing but crap...
If you had stopped here you would have enjoyed my full support.
...multi-racial movie...
What's wrong with a "multi-racial" movie?
[Did you know its an “unwritten rule” that every actor has to do a pro-gay or multi-racial movie at some point in their career?]
Hmm, I dont recall Vincent Price ever playing as a gay man.
Maybe horror movies don't count?
And what's wrong with diffrent races?

As someone studying to become a filmmaker, go fuck yourself with a rusty piece of barbed wire, you cunt.
Hollywood is run by "communists", riiight. That would account for all the corporate sponsorship, network executives meddling with directors to ensure a more commercial product, triple figure "star" salaries, directors snorting coke through hundred dollar bills. Yeah, Marxist as heck that Hollywood film industry.
"Movies are nothing but crap designed by communists to make shifts to the left in society"
Define left wing..to the rest of the world the American left wing are no different to the right wing..both poles are supporters of American hegemony..the left wing is at least honest though in wanting to give state aid...unlike the right wing who want private pofit and public debt.
*Whew*, lucky we have honest reporters like you to report the truth. Bring out your evidence and defeat the elites!
*Waiting*
*Waiting*
*Waiting*
*Still waiting*
What, you just made that shit up?

Except "The Passion of the Christ", right?

Pissed that the British film "Slumdog Millionaire" swept the board, much?:
Best Film
Best Director (Danny Boyle)
Best Screenplay
Best Original Music (Song)
Best Original Music (Score)
Best Sound
Best Cinematography
Best Editing
And a shitload of other awards besides (pre-Oscars).
Read 'em & weep. Your precious country doesn't have the monopoly on film-making. America doesn't have the copyright on films, you know. Jealous that India's 'Bollywood' is bigger than Hollywood? Our boy Danny Boyle is Da Man (film companies'll be fighting each other to have him direct their films) right now, and India'll reap the rewards.
Now GTFO, Fukki Nink. We Brits OWN Hollywood.
...
Seriously. As an aspiring filmmaker and card-bearing member of the nonexistent "movies are art" club, I take offense to this. Of course, considering his batshit insane McCarthyism also displayed.. well, fun times.
My kid is in the film industry and laughed at your BS. As for art why don't you rent A Man for All Seasons and watch Paul Scofield's character, Thomas More in the courtroom scene.
IMHO, brilliant. You do know that art goes beyond Crayolas and staying within the lines? Go get your Veggie Tales and pout.
fwiw, I don't watch the Oscars.
If I remember correctly Slumdog millionaire was about the horrible life of a street urchin whose mom was killed in the Bombay riots in India and his eventual rise to fame to play who wants to be a millionaire set to an A.R. Rehman soundtrack which makes it very catchy (He did the fairly catchy Chhaiya Chhaiya which is "indians dancing on moving train")
Not a holywood movie or gay or indeed about er... racial mingling. Since everyone in the movie was Indian.
No, I just think that award shows are boring and a waste of time.
But it is entertaining to listen to the local Christian radio DJs froth about them.
Please tell me this is a Poe. Otherwise I am deeply, deeply troubled.
Plus um:
"Did you know its an “unwritten rule” that every actor has to do a pro-gay or multi-racial movie at some point in their career?"
Uh, I guess there are a lot of actors breaking the rules, or there were, until what, the 70's at LEAST.
And yet inexplicably, they say "Darwinists" are racist...
What was that parable in the gospels about stone throwing hypocrites again?
Despite TV, DVDs/Blu-Rays, Torrenting of films, Streaming etc, why is Hollywood still in rude health to this day? Cinemas still exist, and more & more multiplexes are being built.
The only thing losing it's lustre is fundie Christainity.
Hollywood lost most of its luster the day it started calling movies “art”.
They were doing that before movies had sound.

Art is nothing more than self-expression. It doesn't stop being art just because you don't like it.
Movies are nothing but crap designed by communists to make shifts to the left in society by brainwashing the young and the weak minded.
Movies like Dirty Harry, Rocky IV, Rambo, Death Wish, Cobra, and Red Dawn are pushing a liberal agenda?! I hate to see what you'd consider conservative propaganda.
Did you know its an “unwritten rule” that every actor has to do a pro-gay or multi-racial movie at some point in their career? Yep, thats one the elites do not want you to know.
First off, if this rule is unwritten, you have no evidence that it's actually there. Second, your use of "multi-racial" reveals something about you that you didn't want us to know.
And here I thought I avoided the Oscars because the show is slow, bloated and boring! Silly me!
First commercial movie studio: 1897.
Birth of Soviet Russia (which I assume is what you mean by communism): 1917.
So communists retroactively developed movies in the US and other countries in order to push their ideas even though for the longest time non Soviet films were officially regarded as decadent garbage for using western cultural references and ideas.
Pro-gay and multi-racial movies? Why it's almost as if studios want to expand into growing markets and continue to make money! Imagine that!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
