Mass psychosis event? Sinners came out 11 months ago. When it came out there was buzz it could get a Best Picture nom and maybe Director, but no started talking about MBJ's performance as being anything special until nominations came out about two months ago. If any performance was getting praise at the time of release it was Jack O'Connell. Now all of a sudden MBJ wins Best Actor and gets a huge reaction as if he put on an all time great performance?
>>218609957best actor is just a consolation prize for movies that don't win best picture
>>218609957its because he's a nigger. thats the only reason he won. we live in dark times.
>>218609957whatever you do keep talking about shit you hate. make ten more fucking threads about it. that’ll show em.
Black Americans or African Americans as I like to call them have been put down and marginalized for so long that the very notion of a African American man holding an oscar sends the country into a spiraling seething rage.
how long are you going to seethe about this?
>>218610059I will, thank you.
it's patently ridiculous to believe he put on a better performance than ethan hawke but it's also ridiculous to think these awards mean anything other than a bunch of rich narcs projecting what they think will give them the most social capital
>>218610059>>218610079>>218610083>don't discuss a controversial acting award on the television & film board!

>>218610083I'm not mad about the award. I thought Plemons easily should have been Best Actor this year and he didn't get nominated, so I didn't care who won. I'm more confused by the reaction his award received.
>>218610006it's either that or given to actors who are considered "overdue" like Leo. the actual performance is largely irrelevant, just had to be good enough that people don't question it
>>218609957I haven't seen this movie, but prior to last night I thought of this pretty-boy faggot as like a Hallmark-movie-tier actor. Did he actually improve? I thought he was like the male version of Tyra Banks or some shit.
>>218609957they're trying to control the cultural narrative, but the plot is already lost and the characters suck.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Pov0MKuyJfg
>>218609957I have no plans to watch Sinners anytime soon but am glad that Chalamet lost. Fuck that Jenner digger
>>218610119Ethan Hawke gave the worst performance out of all the nominees. I felt like I was watching a Saturday Night Live character the whole movie.
>>218609957Funny thing is, it’s probably one of his worst performances. They had to give the twins different colored hats to tell them apart
>>218611282His character was obnoxious. That movie was a 100 minute narcissistic monologue.
>>218609957He was taken for granted. Studios submit their race horses, celebs campaign for voters to watch it, voters were reminded he makes the movie work (a leading man holding a hit together gets the credit)
