“Besides, the Academy Awards are for movies no one has seen or cares about it.”
I have posted it here on FreeRepublic before, so here goes again:
Everyone who believes in freedom should see The Kings Speech - It won the best picture award just a few years ago. It’s about Queen Elizabeth’s Father, his speech impediment, and the buildup to WWII -— And his speech therapist. A miraculous film (NOT made by Hollywood!).
Also, there was a wonderful film that won the best film academy award the following year (again NOT a Hollywood film) called ‘The Artist.’ It’s a wonderful tear-jerker. Wonderful!
It’s set in the era of the transition from silent film to ‘talkies.’ A famous actor is/has lost his ability to get good roles - invests EVERYTHING he has on a failed film and someone helps him. The film is black and white (the black part is approved by Al Sharpton!) and filmed in 4:3.
4:3! Can you believe that in this day of CGI that a 4:3 film won best picture?
The Academy, on occasion, selects GREAT films.
Peace.
“Grand Hotel Budapest” is just going to walk away with it, this year. It is a GREAT movie, and the cinematics are awesome.
Even Hollywood is sick of the race-baiting crap, it seems.
