Have you seen it?

Having to deal with what she was dealing with is not exclusive to black women, honey. She did her job to make sure she transcended race with her performance.

Moonlight wasn't an impressive film to me. I couldn't care less about the homosexuality in the film. It felt fake. The dialogue was sparse to the point of being non existent. The script was weak. The quality of the actors couldn't compensate for that weakness IMO.

Manchester was an average film with no character development. Casey Affleck's range as an actor in that film was inferior compared to Denzel & Viola in Fences, and Emma Stone in La La Land.

Birth of a Nation being snubbed was clearly political and very disgraceful, even for the academy. It was a strong film with strong actors, a strong plot, etc. Hidden Figures was decent but the drama seemed contrived in an unrealistic way to bolster a feminist position. Fences was most deserving of Best Picture in that category with the films included. I'm not surprised it lost though; when has the academy ever gotten it right?

No i really disagree on Fences ,it still looked like alot like a stage play. It had Great dialogue and performances (from Denzel and Viola) but was not the best picture , nowhere near.

Moonlight deserves best picture the cinematography, the colors used ,the grit , it felt like that part of miami and had better use of music and nuance. Also three different actors playing the same person at three different stages in their lives and all performance being that on point , if you cant appreciate that direction or the themes then you dont like or understand cinema.

Moreover how is hidden figures a feminist position movie when its actually a true story that needed exposure and telling?

Birth of a Nation had amateur directing and editing, the story was not well told.

Its subjective but they do get it right in that category most times than not:

Great Best Pictures in the last 18 years imo

12 Years a Slave

The King's Speech

No Country for Old Men

Slumdog Millionaire

The Departed

Million Dollar Baby

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

A Beautiful Mind

Gladiator

American Beauty

I agree. It had weak parts to the movie, but it really came together in the middle and kinda of diluted near the end. It was Nat Parker's first directed movie and could have been so much better made, but the fact that we have a Nat Turner movie is bigger than the actual movie itself.

She shouldn't of been in the supporting category it's a strange one she was on screen as much as denzel. Am i right in thinking Halle berry is the only black actress to win that award?

Halle is the only AA to win one the best actress Oscar.

to be fair the story was mainly about Troy as the main protagonist , she couldve fallen into either category.

Perfectly worded. My sentiments exactly.

How you feel her pain @kat?

You aint been invested in nobody like that for real.

You spent years making that be known.

Fear of commitment i believe you called it.

It's called empathy, genius. You don't have to live someone's pain to feel it. The thought of having to experience that type of pain is part of the fear of commitment.

I feel that just odd feeling it wasn't to stop Emma stone winning.. black actors need to stop taking home the supporting trophy.
