Ok? So what exactly do you need to do to win an Oscar? Be a white male or woman ? Sleep with someone?

You have to kiss a lot of ass, don't be too controversial and don't look like you want it too much, but don't be rude and act like you don't want it at all. Make a lot of money for the studios, pretend like your movie has some greater meaning in life than just entertainment, and either almost die at the end or die at the end.

It also helps to spend a lot of money on a PR firm that will plant articles about how great you are in as many publications as possible, get those covers of Vogue and Elle and Harper's Bazaar, and create buzz about you long before your movie even comes out. Florence Pugh, I'm looking at you.

This didn’t work for Eddie Murphy but we all know why they decided he looked desperate. Cause he’s black and his performance was on Netflix.

I had to roll my eyes at that comment. But Melissa Leo who took out full page 4YC ads during her campaign was not desperate. Ok. Thumbs up.

So why are these still important awards? We should boycott them

[krystiocracy]
