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
Only one film from the past four decades made less money at the box office on its way to a Best Picture Oscar.
http://fortune.com/2015/02/23/birdma...-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.

From same Fortune article

Apparently American Sniper got a bump from the nomination with most of it coming post nomination:

Quote:
Higher-grossing films it beat: American Sniper. Bradley Cooper's portrayal of famed Navy Seal Chris Kyle continues to draw crowds to movie theaters. The Clint Eastwood-directed film has already grossed nearly $320 million — and, most of it has come since Oscar nominations were announced.

Actually it was more about her characters poor choice in men. All 4 men she hooked up in the movie were losers.

2 alcoholics, 1 who wanted her to ditch her kid to pay more attention to him and Ethan Hawkes father was sort of a drifter loser for years.

Meh. All he did was lean his head on his shoulder and garble in heavy English that nobody could understand. Plus I don't like Hawking or his acolytes so that movie was blah. The lead actress was very good however.

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.

Yeah, I don't see many movies, and Birdman looks like one I'd like to see, but you're right you just have to move passed the folks who make them.

I'd also like to see "Into The Woods" and "The Grand Budapest Hotel" too. They both look awesome..

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

You put a microphone in front of me and a BILLION people are going to hear my words, I'm going to say something other than thanking the wife and parents.

If anyone is swayed in their beliefs because the person doing the swaying is an actor, that's on them..
