I was kind of surprised to see Selma in the best picture nominations and wondered if it was a bone thown to the African American community. Glenn Beck loved Selma and suggested everyone see it. I won’t. The subject matter just doesn’t interest me. But I’ve heard others say it’s not a very good movie.

Bush’s fault.

So create an Oscar for Best Black Film, or whatever.

Maybe even the liberal establishment is getting worn out by all the Ferguson antics et al.

I am rooting for Grand Budapest Hotel, myself.

But IMHO the best film is the Polish film "Ida" which was nominated for Best Foreign Language Picture, and it's currently available on Netflix.

I bet 90%+ of them are Democrats. Talk about your discrimination.

“All the Best Picture noms (except American Sniper) are aimed at white, elitist liberals.”

How are apolitical films like Boyhood, Whipflash or ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel’ ‘liberal elitist’?

Another way of saying that is that 90% of the time, the nomination list includes a black person.

I always enjoy it when Hollywood liberals bash Hollywood liberals. Pass the popcorn!
