....Moonlight won the top prize at Sunday night’s Oscars ceremony—after some initial envelope confusion created a bizarre scene—and, despite the fact that the independent drama never made much of a splash at the box office. The movie, about a young, gay black man growing up in an impoverished Miami neighborhood, has only made a little more than $22.2 million in domestic movie ticket sales so far, according to Box Office Mojo. That made Moonlight the lowest-grossing Best Picture nominee at this year’s Academy Awards—and among the lowest ever for a Best Picture winner—even after generating months of Oscars buzz.

I never even heard of Moonlight until all of the kerfuffle the next day on the news
Let's count the PC Points, boys & girls..... & ???
"Young" = 1 PC Point
"Gay" = 5 PC Points
"Black" = 3 PC Points
"Impoverished" = 3 PC Points
"Miami".. ??? .. South Beach! = 3 Party Points
We have a winner! 15 Points
We don't need to sell no steenkin tickets!
Obviously, people don’t like seeing Movies about Miami.
A young, gay, black, Hispanic, transvestite, Muslim woman growing up in an impoverished Miami neighborhood where she got an abortion.
THAT is scary. The left’s sinister moves never end or stop.
Remember the good old days when Black got you 5 points and Gay only got you 3 Points?
Dunno.
I recall the Dixie Chicks having empty “sold out” shows with few attendees sitting in the audience.
Heck, it was such a laugh that awhile later we had a troll show up here on FR specifically to defend the ditsy twits.
His handle was “horsewhisper”.
He then claimed he didn’t defend them.
I wouldn’t be surprised if a troll shows up in a year or three to flame us for this thread.
They would be yelling from the rooftops that there was a conspiracy. Instead, of saying that it’s a great thing the mix up was rectumfied.
Felchers?
The plot line is the ONLY reason it was nominated. McConaughey got the oscar ONLY because he played a gay hater who got aids. And no one knows what ever happened to the guy. In fact, most of the story about him hating gays was “artistic license”.
“Brokeback in the ‘Hood”
It will end up being the lowest grosser watch it work. The Hollywood schmucks embarrassed themselves by giving the award to this pile of crap instead of a real movie.
OK THANKS WHEW
I thought that was a pretty good movie.
GAY BLACK MUSLIM ..... WHO DOES THAT BRING TO MIND...???
Just like the political Nobel prizes, this is exactly the same. A nothing movie that “wins” for the expressed purpose of trying to mainstream homosexuality and encourage others to make this their theme as well.
