Whenever I get pissed off at the Oscars I remember how ridiculous many of the winners
and the noms/no noms have been in the past.

"Shawshank Redemption" is a movie that everyone will admit is icon -- no wins, no noms, even,
I believe.

And no comment on the "Brokeback Mountain" screw up. Does anyone today think "Crash" is even
good, let alone Best Picture?

"Birdman"? Seriously? I could go on.

But it is crazy that those amazing costumes in "Rocketman" didn't get nominated. WTF?

And as nutty as it is, "The Lighthouse"? I guess it's too out there.

And hiss about Greta. And Akwafina.

And I detest "Joker." I. Detest. It!

I'm rooting for "Kitbull." Sad when the category you are most invested in is Animated Short Film!

Ethan Hawke was nominated for nearly 60 various guilds and film critics awards, winning many for "First Reformed" but he didn't land a nomination. There is no rhyme or reason.

Noms, no wins. An iconic movie with incredible performances that leaves an indelible mark on audiences, no wins. Even Morgan Freeman said he didn't deserve to win for "Million Dollar Baby" and he thought the Academy gave it to him as a do-over. The unspoken being he should've won for "Shawshank".

And no comment on the "Brokeback Mountain" screw up. Does anyone today think "Crash" is even good, let alone Best Picture?

People still talk about and reference "Brokeback Mountain",and people only bring up "Crash" to say how awful it is LOL!

"Birdman"? Seriously? I could go on.I hated that movie. Some fine performances but I thought ( ... )
