Oscar awards are pure marketing and normies wouldn't watch a decent sci-fi film to save their lives.

Expect some capeshit winning everything in 2 or 3 years.

the turds who judge said movies are appointed by fascists who want to control artistic cinema.

Top fucking KEK. This is what won best picture in 1980. Alien wasn't even nominated. What a fucking joke.

Hollywood isn't smart enough to understand science behind movies so the question why isnt there a love triangle or betrayal invoked early on. They want something that they always fee and that's being cheated on

It's a shame that the first two points, the only reasonable ones, are coupled with all that ridiculous tripe.

>It's a shame that the first two points, the only reasonable ones
so you can't use historical accuracy? If I made a game about slaves picking cotton, it's ok to make most of them whites?

Man that first point was dead on, then she went full hold the door

No it didn't. It won a couple of Oscars, but not Best Picture.

Because the Lord of the Rings saga was enormous and they figured it would be easier to just give all of the awards to the last movie in the series instead of awarding it 3 times over. Ironic, because the last movie was the worst.

>>69927454
nonono, it's about having LESS whites.
