Did “ballot harvesting” play a role?

They can stop complaining about "lack of diversity" now.

Not the best nor the most popular but diverse which is an empty award when you think about it which liberals do not.

“I won this award because everyone better was blocked from winning”

This is like on The Price Is Right, where at least one of the final contestants is always “diverse.” Magic!

I foresee a day when one’s life won’t go if you don’t participate in praising these mostly talentless asshats.

And just how good-enough-to-watch are these diverse efforts?

I pretty much don’t watch any American-produced stuff anymore. The well here has been poisoned.

My one movie this year was Crazy Rich Asians, which was really kind of fun. Shot in large part in Singapore, a city I visited and loved a few decades ago, I went to see how it had changed. Silly fun movie, not quite cloying, though you might find it so.

Before that, I saw Dinesh D’Souza’s movie “Hillary’s America—A History of the. Democratic Party.” It gave very graphic examples of Saul Alinsky’s life and methods. Every Freeper should see it.

Yes, I did watch Crazy Rich Asians, it reminded me of a lot of the KDramas I like to watch.

There you have it. Talent and skills don’t win. Just minority’s numbers.

The ability to make entertainment is not related to color. It’s tied directly to being able to connect with the audience.

That said, I was surprised at how I didn’t know many of the films. My wife and I generally go to 15-20 movies a year. I love movies. I guess I need to change theaters.

all of these countries making movies and only American films get the nod?

Where is the diversity?

American movies are made abroad now because it is cheaper so it isn’t because they aren’t “capable” of making good movies.
