So, hasn't it become blatantly obvious that the people picking the nominees need to get with it? Every year they just pick the 'artsyist' sounding movies, instead of the best movies of the year. It's so obvious that Robert Downey Jr. and Seth MacFarlein both joked about it at the Oscars this year.
Do you agree that the Oscars nominate the wrong movies? What would your list of nominees and winners have been for the 2012 Oscars?

由jaythenerdkid編輯: 3/24/2013 9:30:44 PMThe Oscars are about awarding people whose "time" is due. Kathryn Bigelow didn't even get a Best Director nomination this year (though she deserved it) because she'd already "got hers" with The Hurt Locker. Ben Affleck also missed out because the Academy still remembers when he was one half of Bennifer, and he'll need to do a lot of "serious" work to redeem himself after that. I know someone who voted for the SAG Awards (pretty much the intra-industry lead-up to the Oscars), and it basically goes based on personal preference. Did you see the article I posted in the run-up to the Oscars where an Academy voter shared his voting process with a journalist? It was really interesting stuff.

I saw Argo, which won best picture, the other night, and I thought it was decent. That's it, decent. There's no way I think it deserved best picture, or even to be nominated for best picture. Every movie I saw in theatres this year was a million times better. The Avengers, the Dark Knight Rises, Skyfall, Looper, the Hobbit. All way better films, and not one of them was nominated for best picture. My jimmies = rustled

I don't know anyone who honestly takes the Oscars seriously. Most people probably only watch them to see the actresses' pretty dresses.

Your first mistake was suggesting in a year with Argo, Lincoln and Zero Dark Thirty that anything but those three very patriotic American movies was going to win an award voted on by Americans.

TDKR and Skyfall were awesome movies, but I don't think they should have won best picture, if that's what you're saying.

>complains about how the Oscars only nominate the "artsiest" movies instead of actually good movies. >says they should have went with the Avengers. I am starting to think that OP is 12 years old and has a disgust of any movie that does not have explosions or superheroes every 2 minutes.

If the artsiest movies got nominated, the nominees would be completely different. I'm no film buff, but it's pretty clear that most Hollywood films are far from artsy. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, but if anything the selection process is the opposite of what you described. Anyway, I don't really care for award ceremonies in general, and I don't watch many films, so....
