    1

    1
  35. mavenous22 not boring. intentionally slow-paced.
    1
  36. trc2rockon came out in June
    1
  37. HooTy&daFloBish And Notre Dame.
    1
  38. Cossio 000 it came out in February. before last year's Oscars, even. and it got one nom anyway
    1
  39. Chalmskinn Productions not always
    1
  40. Mike Henderson no
    1
  41. Departed Reflections yes it was
    1
  42. You know so little about films, and you name your Google+ after Inarritu? Tf?
    1
  43. Alejandro González dang. that is a big coincidence. But you heard of The Girl on the Train, right?

  44. Because i thought everyone had heard about it
    1
  45. Graham Johnson ya it is
    1
  46. Edd Schouten theres more than one viewpoint..

  56. Trae Lenox they got one each
    1
  57. SERIOUS SILVER that is Tucker, alright
    1
  58. Sarah Smith umm no thats not a fact. you dont know that a movie's advertising campaign is always precisely double its budget.
    1
  59. Sarah Smith it isnt fuckin 40%. and theyd only need double to get their budget back, if the theatre took 50%. they are all different splits. usually the theatre gets about 15% on opening weekend and it keeps getting bigger from there.

  60. funkyfiss no they aren't...
    1
  61. funkyfiss you're a dumbass
    1
  62. funkyfiss well I'm simply lazy all the time, but I'm also sick today... 1. The Hurt Locker was not shit. 2. "Win best picture just so they can give an award to a female director" - best picture and best director are two different awards.. 3. 2010 was the last time you saw the Oscars. Are you sure you would still think its rigged today? 4. A prime factor to The Hurt Locker getting certain awards was a letter from one of the producers that was sent to all Academy members. AMPAS found out, and decided not to disqualify The Hurt Locker for the awards (which they would normally do). What they did instead was actually pretty funny.. If you consider that rigging, I'm pretty sure they've adjusted some rules since then. 5. Sorry for calling you a dumbass, I misinterpreted what you said. I thought you implied "they shouldn't be giving out awards to female directors". However, I still disagree with you.
    1
  63. funkyfiss​ I'm pretty sure the majority of people like it... considering any movie site's rating (atleast the ones i know of). Lowest grossing best picture winner of all time? Since when does that prove that people like it, rather than proving that people just want to see it. And considering it grossed 17 mill (in the USA) when the widest it expanded was 535 theatres, it did pretty well. That article is about how realistic (or lack thereof) the movie is. And calling it the worst war movie ever is a bit exaggerated considering Uwe Boll made a war movie once.. I recognize that the realism is blown out of proportion in The Hurt Locker, but lets look at it as a movie - pretty good. I don't think the Oscars, of all the award shows, would be rigged. I can see things like the Critics Choice, Peoples Choice, Teens Choice and Kids Choice Awards being rigged, but not for a big organization like the Academy. I mean, they hire PWC to count their ballots. If it was rigged, PWC would plummet. It doesn't confirm that it's still rigged. It confirms that I didn't research it further. It also confirms that there may not be any articles about them changing or not changing the rules.

  64. funkyfiss well you aren't the first I've come across that didn't like it, but I know of more people that liked it than those who don't.

  65. UnbelievabIeMontages there isnt any rule about that.
    1
  66. UnbelievabIeMontages did you read that in the AMPAS Handbook?
    1
  67. UnbelievabIeMontages Is she honestly better than Emma Stone or Isabelle Huppert? If you think 6 years is recent, what did you think when Daniel Day Lewis won for Lincoln 5 years after he won for There Will Be Blood?
    1
  68. UnbelievabIeMontages​​ what did you think when Hilary Swank won for Million Dollar Baby 5 years after winning for Boys Don't Cry?
    1
  69. UnbelievabIeMontages​ if there was any rule, they would not nominate her, because why nominate someone who is against the rules of winning. So ya, no rule. Not at all. Maybe Natalie isn't winning this year because, in your own words, they "nominate and win based off of PERFORMANCE LEVEL"

  70. noctanol How to be Oscar bait: 1. make the movie come out from October to the end of the year 2. have a touchy subject 3. adapt an award winning book 4. base the movie on a true story
    1
  71. Aurodeep Kamal they're saying how they were made simply to get lots of Oscars but didnt get any (or many, in Allied's case)
    1
  72. M C yes it was
    1
  73. Andrew Cooper at all?
    1
  74. CrownedSoldier baba yaga
    1
  75. Diamond Dawg Emily Blunt
    1
  76. Terrance Porter Man, Idek. Woody Allen probably just makes movies for the hell of it, and then decides to fill forms for Oscar nods. Not the other way around.
    1
  77. Daniel dickens Trey Parker
    1
  78. goodguynow wtf XD
    1
  79. Josh Vance Shakespeare in Love won
    1
  80. sofos870 thats what theyre listing. movies trying for nominations but didnt get any (or many)
    1
  81. The B-Man Rises came out in June
    1
  82. preshlock butchering? Inglourious Basterds and Fury were very good.
    1
  83. yes it was Oscar bait. We found out it was a fail once we saw it.
    1
  84. Beebo goes shopping and sees something he likes​​ yes it was. with Emily Blunt. I'm not only commenting on Girl on the Train defenses. Maybe if you weren't trying to defend it so hard you'd see the other posts too.
    1
  85. Havicc Brine ya but quality is irrelevant to this list. Besides costume design, it failed to pick up the other nominations it was hoping to receive
    1
  86. justice hunt it came out before the Oscars happened last year. it was predicted it wouldnt get anything, but it got one nom. it didnt fail. it didnt even take any test, but got points anyhow
    1
  87. Juan Oro-Barcenas Silence was a passion project for Scorsese. He wanted to make it since 1990. Idk about calling it Oscar bait...
    1
  88. Juan Oro-Barcenas Thats what Paramount decided. Scorsese doesn't always give a fuck. Shutter Island being proof.
    1
  89. Baby Groot It got nominated tho. And it wasn't a movie one would necessarily call Oscar bait. Only things Oscar bait about it were the release date and maybe the director
    1
  90. Optidorf critical acclaim? its not run by critics.....
    1
  91. azure adams tell
    1
  92. John Lane III how was The Edge of Seventeen Oscar bait?
    1
  93. John Lane III ya it was great. But i dont think they were trying for Oscars. Maybe GGs, since they got one. But not Oscars.
    1
  94. John Lane III thats why i don't think it was Oscar bait.
    1
  95. I thought it was pretty decent.
    1
  96. MultiAmmar2000 not really. An Ang Lee movie having failed is much bigger than a first time director's movie
    1
  97. read the fucking title. It was failed Oscar bait.
    1
  98. Price The Band Not Miles Ahead. That came out in like March
    1
  99. codo114 idk... what would it have been nominated for?
    1
  100. And Gold
    1
  101. Maverick Hunter K no. Fantastic
    1
  102. rodney parker you're so irrelevant
    1
  103. Darth Connery Silence was a passion project for Scorsese tho. he wanted to make it for 25 or 26 years. so for that, I dont think it would be considered Oscar bait
    1
  104. Nicolai Thomsen Nope. Its gotta be Hidden Figures, Hacksaw Ridge or Lion.
    1
  105. Thumprsbro it came out in June. it wasn't Oscar bait
    1
  106. Phillip Arpin Men in Black 3 was dope tho
    1
  107. Phillip Arpin ?
    1
  108. Phillip Arpin So you weren't referring to MIB3?
    1
  109. Luke Lasky it came out in June. not Oscar bait
    1
  110. Ethan Radd no it isnt a wonder
    1
  111. Ro well it didnt fail.....
    1
  112. Dylan Rose not necessarily
    1
  113. laurentiu calin yes it fuckin was
    1
  114. Ryan Charlton it isn't a masterpiece. but it aint half bad
    1
  115. that's probably the irony behind it
    1
  116. Oliver Stone is a political guy. He made Snowden to tell people about his story. He could give less of a shit about Oscars. He already has at least three.
    1
  117. Slime Clouds yes. Oops indeed
