Of course you guys need to bring race into every video... the 2002 Oscars were based on 2 things, lobbyists and MERIT !!! If a movie sucks, it doesn't matter who stars in it . Stop pandering to a small minority of racists, you make Canadians look bad

Ah yes, nobody can ever forget the infamous 2017 "Best Picture" scandal. Major Kudos to "La La Land" producer Jordon Horowitz for managing to diffuse the awkward situation to the best of his ability, and even inviting the "Moonlight" team to take to the stage and accept the award.

Sorry Saving Private Ryan should've won Best Picture in 1999. Weinstein's reasoning is just horseshit! In conclusion Saving Private Ryan was ROBBED of the Oscar. 😡😡😡

There is a separate event dedicated to this, the Taurus World Stunt Awards. I like the idea of having an Academy award dedicated to stunts but as a matter of fact there are too much categories which would be deserving of an award (the best driving stunt, the best stunt fight choreography or the best explosion stunt....)
This needs to be updated!

Suicide Squad was a worse movie, but it also had Harley Quinn- which due to Margot Robbie & the makeup/costume department is now instantly recognizable. 90% of america couldn’t name a character from Star Trek beyond, but EVERYONE knows Harley Quinn. Every girl was Harley Quinn for Halloween tbat yyear. While it wasn’t a good movie, it had a massive cultural impact that year
One of the most disturbing things about 2021 Oscars related to Chadwick Boseman losing and that weird ending which I will get to after the disturbing moments related to Chad. Is that on the red carpet one of the reporters who had spent the day talking to members of the academy who vote for the winners the reporter stated during the red carpet that many voters said to him that “Chadwick’s gonna win but i’m voting for Anthony Hopkins” the reporter was told that by many of the Academy Voters! Which lead him to predict that Chadwick could lose the Oscar to Anthony. Which is exactly what happened! The abrupt ending was due to Joaquin Phoenix going off script. Best actor and best actress segments that year were written to have had the presenter saying specific things about each of the nominees. This took longer then usual then those segments in the past. But Phoenix didn’t want to do that! He mentioned they wanted him to go out there and say something about each and every nominee in that category but he felt it could have been something more generalized! This defiant break from the script meant that the extra added time provided to this new format of speaking about each nominee was drastically shorter. It threw off the timing as well as all the timing provide for the acceptance speech. So when you take all the time given for the new format disrupted by Joaquin Phoenix’s refusal to follow the script throw in the time set aside for the acceptance speech which Hopkins was not there to give and you have 15-20 minutes you the producer set aside that was done in 2 mins. And thats why the ending was weird they basically finished really early because A. Joaquin Phoenix going off script meant his part was shorter then intended and B. Hopkins not being there meant the time allotted for the Acceptance speech went unused. Leaving them with time but no show left to fill that time.
Even after Halle Berry won her award it still has been what.. 20 years since a black woman has won that category. She said the door was opened but it seems like a heavy door to keep open 😐

Sadly Hallie Berry is the only black woman who has ever won a best actress Oscar! Last year Andra Day won the Golden Globe for The United States Vs. Billie Holiday and about 80% of the time the same actor goes on to win the Oscar. But NO!!!! NO!!!! It went to Frances Mcdormand who’s cheap ass expectance speech heavily implied that she isn’t big on awards that she just likes working “so yeah thanks.” 🤬 Andra Day was all set to break that streak since Halle’s win! Frances is great don’t get me wrong but by being so caviler about what the Oscars mean to her or don’t mean to her she stepped on her fellow nominees! Andre Day deserved to be the one to break the whites only streak dead to rights! Fantastic movie and performance and her loss was a disgrace to the Academy Awards who want you to know that they are not a “White people only club”. Aside from the slap this year was better but last year with Andra & Chadwick Boseman both loosing the black winners felt like the Oscars were merely filling a quota. **deep breath** sorry for the rant.

now it all makes sense why Shakespeare in Love won over Saving Private Ryan and thanks to that win, I took to a custom of covering my ears before Best Picture is read. sadly, that was retired the night of Envelope-gate. and just for the record, I was all "Come on, Warren, don't tease" when I read Faye's lips with La La Land the winner leaving my hands to turn to clap politely...all the while I was dying inside for Moonlight. too busy to see what was going on, I was about to reply to my cousin's "La La Boo" remark when a voice said, "We lost, by the way." and of course, everyone knows the rest of the story.

Saving Private Ryan kinda was in the first 15 minutes, that was the whole point, it was depicting D-Day. The movie starts strong and then gives you a breather before the main "find the man" plot gets underway. Love the twist that when they find him he refuses to leave, forcing them to fight the final battle with him at his side.

i think the Oscars' voters must do like all of us do before we go watch a new movie, and wait for the first batch of reviews to be published. I know for a fact Oscar voters get advanced copies of new releases. Critics work for newspapers and getting any highly rated critic to like your film is important cuz they can influence public opinion on the film. I'm not saying critics get everything right, but for Oscar voters to understand what their voting for, they must first find out if the film is worth nominating in the first place.
This whole new not show all awards live is so demeaning. Sort of like your hard work for which you got nominated for is not important. If it continues to next year the Awards will lose their prestige. They are trying to make something internal for the business into a big thing no one care about
You guys may wanna remake this video now after what just happened tonight
