Mad Max gets 10 fucking nominations including best picture and best director, while Straight Outta Compton gets one fucking award for best original screenplay... explain this.
straight outta compton was a steaming pile of shit
Who cares? The Academy is full of idiots and their award show is more irrelevant than ever now.

They made the right decision in terms of largely ignoring Straight Outta Compton. There was nothing terribly interesting about the movie and it was primarily just propaganda.

Straight outta Compton could have gone directly to DVD

I know, mad max should have been nominated instead for that one.

I won't disagree with that but they almost never give serious awards to a non-Hollywood films.
Did people honestly think this movie would appeal to the Academy's sensibilities? Have they never seen the Oscars before?

>it was primarily just propaganda.
Haven't seen the movie, explain.

It glorified much of NWA to a ridiculous degree and attempted to make them out as some kind of half respectable social movement. It also vilified the police to a ridiculous extent.
Old people don't like rap?

Biopics suck as a rule.
cause Ice Cube attacked a member of the chosen race and made him look bad in the movie
you think Heller wouldn't have the last say?

Mad max was a way better film. Explained.

Nobody likes niggers, and the niggers that the movie was about were scumbags,

SOC was garbage in the second act when E gets rich.
Academy is shit though.
A nigger movie about nigger noise and how its destroyed the great white american dream
>>70537861
Not surprising, Mad Max was a lot better.
Some actors should have been nominated for Straight Outta Compton though.
>>70538081
This. Plus it washed over the characters' negative traits and issues.
>>70537861
Mad Max deserved best director and picture too, you nigger. Maybe the Black awards should recognize the steaming pile of mediocrity that is Straight outta Compton. It has had no cultural impact, unlike Mad Max.
