angelman Posted 19 January, 2016 Share Posted 19 January, 2016 Serious question, not being a film buff in the slightest, but were any black actors/actresses "unfairly" overlooked? It's one thing not having any black actors if they deserve to be there, but another if they haven't cut the mustard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have made a case for idris Elba and straight outta Compton in best film but I wouldn't say there were any real glaring omissions. Spike Lee does like a good rant about racism though (see his comments about django - a film he hadn't even seen.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_clark Posted 19 January, 2016 Share Posted 19 January, 2016 Just read up on this whole thing. I'm confused. Black people have definitely won Oscars in the past. Why are the last couple of years being singled out? It's purely coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlakeySFC Posted 20 January, 2016 Share Posted 20 January, 2016 Dumb OP, but I think the controversy is purely because Will Smith got overlooked for Concussion and Straight Outta Compton for Best Picture. The Oscars have always been predominantly White, I don't understand why the last two years have caused anymore controversy than normal really.

Ohio Saint Posted 20 January, 2016 Share Posted 20 January, 2016 How can a black guy win an Oscar when they are always killed well before the end of the movie? It's their own fault for being killed so easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadoldgit Posted 20 January, 2016 Share Posted 20 January, 2016 They would have a stronger argument if they could come forward with names of black actors who they think should have been nominated and why. Perhaps they have done and I have missed it? They could always hold there own version of the Oscars if they are that bothered. I do think that the Oscars should be decided on a vote by the cinema going public though. Some of the films and performances that have been ignored over the years has been a joke.

Patrick Bateman Posted 20 January, 2016 Share Posted 20 January, 2016 The Oscars and similar awards are all a complete load of sycophantic sh*t anyway, who actually cares about them? Any film that's "nominated" is usually boring drivel anyway. I'm told it's some TV awards soon, maybe tonight? Absolute chav fest with drivel TV programs.

Chez Posted 20 January, 2016 Share Posted 20 January, 2016 Will Smith in Concussion although no idea if any good pretty average movie and dare I say it a very average performance from Will Smith. I'd of been tempted to include the movie Dope and its star Shameik Moore. Both were excellent. Straight out of Compton was entertaining, but not sure anyone stood out actor wise in that movie.

Turkish Posted 28 March, 2022 Share Posted 28 March, 2022 Well WALOB all this stuff is about Chris Rock, Will Smith. Blatently staged, A guy of Will Smiths size gives someone a right handed on the jaw and the guy didn't even flinch. Still it's got everyone very excited and talking about them which is the whole point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB Fry Posted 28 March, 2022 Share Posted 28 March, 2022 (edited) Not sure it was staged in that there is no reason one of the biggest stars in the world would set himself up to swear on national TV (which is a pretty big thing still in the US) and generally make himself look like a prick on what was potentially one of the biggest nights of his career. The "hit" looked worse that it probably was: it felt a bit over-reacted to but I think probably a bit of a shock as much as anything. Rock was clearly thrown by it all.

My thoughts initially. He laughed at first although she didn’t seem to be amused. The walk up to the stage and the slap looked very theatrical but when he sat back down and shouted abuse, that looked to be genuine. Seems odd he was allowed back up to receive an award after going “full Clarkson” on the host. Probably just as well Ricky Gervais wasn’t doing it.

You could see that from his tearful, rambling speech.

Baird of the land Posted 28 March, 2022 Share Posted 28 March, 2022 Amusing to watch. Rock does a good job to roll with it at first but then becomes flustered by the further heckling. Don’t see how anyone could consider it staged. Smith’s clearly a talented actor but seems a very odd guy. So way this played out just adds to that feeling that he’s Become a figure of mockery. Curious to see if they punish him at all. Seems like they should but you doubt they’d have the bravery to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
