But Academy members seem to be paying attention to the criticism that Eastwood and star/producer Bradley Cooper shouldn’t be celebrating a man who wrote that killing hundreds of Iraqis was “fun.”
“He seems like he may be a sociopath,” one Academy member told TheWrap, adding he had not yet seen the film but had read the article, which is being passed around.
Neither distributor Warner Bros. nor the filmmakers have responded to TheWrap’s request for comment, though the studio said they intended to make someone available.
A piece in The Guardian by author Lindy West was an early critic of Kyle: “The real American Sniper was a hate-filled killer. Why are simplistic patriots treating him as a hero?” he wrote.

“Cowards hate brave men like Chris Kyle.”
Bastards aren’t worthy to clean his rifle. (if they could figure out how)
Who is Lindy West and why should I care what it thinks about a great American like Chris Kyle?
My bad. It was nominated for best picture and one other category.
My first thought as well.
Naturally....the @hole commie elitists in Hollyweird would consider Kyle to be a ‘killer’. Kyle was acting on behalf of Americans and was acting for America vs. against America.... which is what they and their agenda represents. And Kyle was killing those that were trying to kill Americans. An unforgivable crime to these POS leftists.
Americans killing terrorists and enemy combatants is evil to these people....because they are enemies of America. Killing innocents in the womb is A-OK with them, however. Americans need to wake the hell up and recognize who our most dangerous enemy, our enemy within, really is.
Who’s the commie at the desk?
Soldiers are killers. That how war works. Notice how kind and noble the Charlie Hebdo jihadis were. Eventually the French killers got them. Refer to Patton for a clearer explanation.
We plan to see this Tuesday morning at the iMax on the River Walk . Afterwards we’ll do lunch on the river , maybe have a margarita . We don’t care what these naysers whine about .
What about celebrating Mike Brown, who attempted to murder a cop? Should we be celebrating him?
Thank you.
Yeah, well, that just proves that the movie-going public is racist.
(Do I really need a sarcasm tag?)
Yes, but Django Unchained was all about a black killing off whiteys. Totally acceptable in Hollyweird these days, dontcha know.
Perfect response. May I “borrow” that, if the opportunity comes up?
He killed the enemy. In large numbers. ‘Nuff said.
Hussein has killed far, far more with unseen death from the sky. Are the pantywaists bothered by that? Or the daily slaughter in Chicago? Or the millions of innocents in the womb snuffed out?
No comment necessary. Facts are what count!!! And...the facts are, Americans are turning out in massive record breaking numbers to see this magnificent film about a true American hero brought to us by outstanding director, Clint Eastwood, and outstanding actor, Bradley Cooper!!! The Obamabot liberal vermin do not have a clue as to what is taken place in American politics and society. Hint.........it’s called a sea change!!! Bye, bye, Barack & Michelle!!!
How in the hell did we win World War II folks?Adolf had the audacity to attack Uncle Joe.
Otherwise, Hollywood would have been pitching a fit.
He killed people (who just happened to be brown) who were killing our guys. Should he have held back bc of their skin color????
Does it sometimes feel like we are headed for another civil war. It does to me when I hear other Americans say things like this.
Absolutely!
Hollywood makes most of their money off death, blood, and violence. TO hell with em.
“Killing” can be a good thing.
Even in the Bible.
It is MURDER which is wrong; The killing of innocent human life it tragic and morally wrong.
The left has no moral bearing though.
