The Oscars are the vocational equivalent of the Walmart employee of the month.

Just have to ignore the far Left political bullshit or just stop seeing movies entirely. I don't pay to see movie like "Selma" or "Brokeback" or Michael Moore docs. But I won't swear off movies either.

I went to look up who made Birdman, due to preceding posts, and look at what came up in the listing at Fortune magazine:
Birdman is one of the lowest-grossing Oscar Best Picture winners ever I know these are peer generated awards and not necessarily what is most popular among the people but I thought it was interesting. Maybe the Oscars will give it a bump which happens. The last highest-grossing film that won Best Picture Oscar was in 2003—The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. $500 million. |

I don't think it was the best movie, I just thought his acting was the best. I love his acting anyway. Then again, I love British accents. I liked the Imitation Game more than The Theory of Everything, but I was curious about Hawking's personal life.

The movie just came out in Oct so it's not goi to have a big box office. It's been gaining steam and obv last night helped dramatically I feel a profound sense of sorrow for any loser over age 20 who actually went to any LOTR movie. |

Screw that. I want to see them in the scenes/movies that are the reason I care they are dead. Not some watercolor drawing.
