They are setting up Selma for best picture Oscar.

I guess others could make the argument that “Selma” didn't portray MLK in a truthful light by ignoring his serial adultery with activist women and white prostitutes. Has any of you read MLK’s poorly written doctoral thesis or seen how much of it was plagiarized? Its been almost 50 years since his death and why haven't any of his investigatory reports by the FBI been released? They released the Rosenberg files and exposed the Venona Files so what is so important about MLK?

FWIW, the US public is voting about Hollywood with their pocketbook and Hollywood, Obama, and Liberals are howling like the banshees they are.

Oscars are not important. They are just leftists giving leftists awards for being leftists.

The power of the purse will dictate the winner.

And it ain’t Selma.

Wasn’t even nominated. Don’t worry though, Rev Al all over it...

I would recommend the movie “boyhood”.
It was made over a TWELVE YEAR period. It was done by the IFC network. It is a low budget movie. It follows the growth of 6 year old boy named Mason and his family through his teens and finally going off to college. It is a little long and slightly slow in parts but you literally watch these people age throughout the movie. It is a groundbreaking accomplishment.
It won the Golden Globe for best picture, director and supporting actress for Patricia Arquett.

Ethan Hawke plays her First EXhusband and father to the children. At first he is a Bush hating liberal. His only cool attribute is his 1970s GOT. Eventually he finds happiness later in life when he marries a conservative Christian woman from a Gun loving family. He sells the GOT so he can pay cash for a minivan for his new family.

FYI, this is not a Hollywood movie. It was filmed on location in Texas. There is even a scene that appeared to be filmed at Astros Stadium with Roger Clemens on the mound.
