.....The lowest-grossing film to ever win the Best Picture Oscar (accounting for inflation) is the 2009 Iraq war drama The Hurt Locker, which made only $17 million domestically (or, around $19.4 million in today’s dollars).

I’ve already seen it six times.

“The movie, about a young, gay black man growing up in an impoverished Miami neighborhood”

But it hit a homerun as far as the Oscar bean counters are concerned, which seems to be what was needed this year.

What’s not to like? Gay, black, in the ghetto.

I don’t know anyone who really cares what or who “wins” an Academy Award anymore...

It will not be very much longer until digital actors make up most of the movie characters and these Hollywood prima donas and divas will cease to exist...

Oh happy day!!!!!!

Real people don’t want to pay to see a homo-promo.

Evidently the movie was made with a politically correct formula with only one expectation: win awards given by leftists.

You have to wonder what the reaction would have been if “Moonlight” was first named the winner and then “La La Land” was awarded the Oscar due to a mix up.

This is nothing but PC crap. No one wants to see a movie glorifying perversion.

Blacks were given 2 of the 4 top acting awards, and the best picture.

That is a wrap, for the Obama era. Bye.

My wife expressed weariness, over movie things black.

A very disgusting film about coprophiliacs portrayed as the new normal for the rimmers and felchers of Homowood. Mel Gibson’s Hacksaw Ridge was the best picture of the last 5 years hands down.

Most homosexuals were sexually abused as children.

They seek to normalize their behavior to attain better access to YOUR children.

In their White Guilt, Hollywood producers are forgetting three important rules.

1, The only purpose of a movie is to make money for the person who made movie.

2, Black angst movies do not make money.

3, Liberal ‘”we’re better than the common folks” beliefs do not repeal Rule #1 or Rule #2!

The Hurt Locker wasn't a big grosser either and I thought it was very good, especially because it beat out Pocahontas in Space.... uh, Avatar. But a film featuring explicit gay sex and the stereotypical drug dealer with a heart of gold..... no thanks.
