But Academy members seem to be paying attention to the criticism that Eastwood and star/producer Bradley Cooper shouldnt 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 TheWraps 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.

It sounds to me as though the fags and pedophiles in Hollywood are attacking every father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, niece, nephew,... who has ever served in the military. A MASSIVE boycott of Hollywood by everyone who has had a loved one serve in the military would be a lot of fun right now. It sure would drag down the donations to the commie DemocRATS’ “war chests” for 2016.
Agree with you 100%.
For a Clint Eastwood picture to be kicking Oprahs picture is causing their heads to explode.
As far as MLK, I get all that you say, you also left out that he liked young girls as well.
But if the sanitized version of him was actually emulated by young black males, I could live with it.
Ah jeez, they’ve all got the vapors again, because their favorite movie is bombing at the Oscars, and at the box office.
You know, I don’t think they really care — it’s just another opportunity to draw attention to themselves.
What a pathetic way to live-if you call what they do “living”!!
Two words: Audie Murphy.
Consider the source.
The best thing we could do is just ignore it. Why do we care what they think?
Just let the box-office receipts speak for themselves.
I am afraid that there is no chance that American Sniper will win the best picture Oscar. Selma will win because any Academy member who doesn’t vote for Selma is a racist.
They’re pissed, embarrassed, and darn it, they just can’t understand why nobody went to see Selma. I blame the racist theater owners who refuse to take EBT cards for tickets.....
The libtards doing their usual blather
Is this a joke?
Hannibal Lector must be laughing.

You could also say “Sergeant York”. A deeply religious man hated the idea of killing his fellow man. A conscientious objector who finally realized he had to kill under some circumstances.
“I admit it. I am hate filled. I hate these people who are destroying our nation.”
Welcome to Max’s world. Makes me wonder why our fellow Freepers keep praying for these bastards when i pray for their annihilation. Have you read my nightly prayer?
Didn’t Django Unchained win some academy awards? That was a bloodfest if I ever saw your one.

All they know is what somebody else writes!
You aren’t alone.
No, it ain’t.
How many Hollywood movies celebrate perversions, immorality, criminal behavior, anti social behaviors, etc??? Remember Wolf of Wall Street, as an example? I remember there were many who said of that film, that it was not celebrating or honoring that Wall Street dude, that it was just telling his story.
So, considering that, can’t we say that this movie tells the story of a military sniper and is not celebrating same?? That it is not necessarily glossing over problems he may have had???
But how can any Hollywood idiots say anything,when #1, they pump.out such demented work most of the time and #2, liberals constantly preach that we should be non judgemental????
Wasn’t even nominated. Don’t worry though, Rev Al all over it...
