Director was a snub.
Thats it
Movie News: Ryan Coogler & Michael B. Jordan - SINNERS - jim crow era vampire flick (SPOILERS OPEN!!!)
- Thread starter playahaitian
- Start date
Thats it
I think I agree.
I COULD argue costume though... just because it was perfect and helped capture the feel vibe tone and palette.
But it was DIRECTOR that I will fight on.
It felt more like a cumulative lifetime award
And PTA basically ADMITTED that himself.

I do not want to hear it was because of the opera and ballot that Tim lost.
Spike only got an honorary correct?
yeah
Spike should have had 2
FGary and Fuqua should have 1 each
Ava unfortunatly did Selma in a year of monstrous films by master filmmakers
It was a mid movie
Which 2 for Spike
Malcolm and Do the Right Thing?
And which for Gary and Fuqua?
true - can't fake influence
Malcolm and Miracle at St Anna or Do the Right thing
Training Day and Straight out of Compton
He was himself thats why he didn't win
Sure
Plus miracle at st anna
for some reason I thought Training Day was nominated for Best Picture
F. Gary Grey never received an Academy Award nomination
Straight Out of Compton?
I have to see who was nominated that year.
Lol damn we think the same things
after the wins he had already racked up i thought he was going to win...
but then SAG happened
And Tim campaign run was uhhh problematic.
I remember people REALLY not liking that movie here and abroad.
Spike got some career defining performances outta some of those actors. RIP Chadwick
Spotlight (winner), The Big Short, Bridge of Spies, Brooklyn, Mad Max: Fury Road, The Martian, The Revenant, and Room.
Yeah Compton should have been on there.
only 2 maybe 3 real ones
Room Max and Spotlight were DEI nominees
Alejandro G. Iñárritu (Winner): The Revenant
Adam McKay: The Big Short
George Miller: Mad Max: Fury Road
Lenny Abrahamson: Room
Tom McCarthy: Spotlight
Max was good and that director still showing skills at that age was impressive
But agree with everything else.
It started problematic
Being a wigga which had nothing to do with 1920s ping pong btw
But nobody cared
Naaaah
Thats da 5 bloods
Miracle at st anna is derek luke laz alonso Michael ealy & them boys
Hey Timmy wiggered his way to the biggest box office that studio had ever seen. I gotta give him that.
But I honestly that and im gonna get killed here...
Smashing machine was a more impressive performance overall of the 2 brothers
And they work much better TOGETHER.
Max was summer movie good but it wasn't Oscar award good...
Look at the bulshit that got noms instead of Training Day
Gosford Park, Mulholland Drive, - I know that Blackhawk Down is a white mans burden favorite but as a movie it has no legs - Ridley was great once but has been coasting for decades now
Ron Howard (Winner): A Beautiful Mind
Ridley Scott: Black Hawk Down
Robert Altman: Gosford Park
Peter Jackson: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
David Lynch: Mulholland Drive
ime most people haven't seen Miracle at St Anna
A beautiful mind we all know was gonna win Oscar LOVES controversial bio pic
People LOVED black hawk down. Is was a good movie and Ridley name was on it. I dont think I ever watched it again.
I LIKED Gosford Park and it was Oscar bait
LORD OF THE RINGS!!!!
sorry im a Lynch guy so I cant sh*t on Mulholland Drive.
All that being said Denzel performance and the adrenaline of that movie YES Training day SHOULD have been on there.
But I dont think it was gonna beat Mind and Rings
its called conditioning - its a modern charge of the light brigade -
if you watch it more than once it falls apart
Gosford Park is like a Knives Out movie winning this year
it is utter shit - or something to watch high - Lynch misses as often as he hits
Training Day was a better movie -
yeah LOTR 1 is spectacular but Jackson is not good at storytelling - the first 2 movies had no chance - Return of the King was the best written and paced - and he won with it
not going to shit on Mind - but Training Day was the best movie of that year
same movie with a white director would have gotten the Coppola type push- shit would have been compared in every other article to LA Confidential
Respectfully fuk you for completely dismissing my opinions Vish.
For what it was Black hawk was fine and the buzz reviews and campaign made it a no Brainer for voters regardless of what it was cheating off of. And they love based on a true story stuff. I honestly i need to re-watch it.
Knives out aint to be just dismissed like that. We seen MUCH worse nominations. I LIKED Gosford Park. Got the DVD somewhere
Mulholland Drive was way too out there to be nominated looking back but for some reason it really connected with critics and audiences and seemed "accessible " for those maybe unfamiliar with Lynch? I just remember it being well received and reviewed in real time.
I aint hearing any LOTR slander nope.
And your 100% right
A white director does Training Day?
its considered a tour de force crowning achievement.
I know its loved NOW...
but how was it reviewed at the time?
