Anyone think Best Picture was Staged?
 

Every year, they put some phony baloney (oscarstoowhite?) to people can talk about it, to get people watching. I can't be sure, but I think it was staged.

Re: Anyone think Best Picture was Staged?
 

Nah.

If it was for ratings, why do it at the very end, just minutes before it goes off the air? If it's for ratings for next year, well, I don't think anyone will much remember it then, and if anything, you'd think a mistake would be way less likely to happen now, since they'll be particularly careful.

No, you are the first person to come up with this idea.

I definitely think last year Jada Plinkett Smith was in cahoots with the Academy and Barry Jenkins (as well as JFK, Bigfoot and the aliens of course) to do that #Oscarssowhite BS so they could get Moonlight made and push their agendas of... making movies and stuff.

Just teasing.

No, I'm not. Believe whatever you want.

hahaha. Was just joking man, this exact discussion was happening in the Best Picture thread so i found it funny that you opened a new thread for it.

We are just teasing the people who think it was staged. No harm meant towards you. :D

Re: Anyone think Best Picture was Staged?
 

It wasn't staged.

However, if we are to believe that Moonlight wasn't shoved down the throats of the voters, then we are mistaken.

I guess it's kind of interesting that in the same year Trump was the winner of the election, that Moonlight wins.

We just don't know how to vote anymore :laugh:

Hope it was shoved down the throats of the voters. People need guidance and it resulted in the better decision :cool:

Also no it wasn't :D

You haven't seen it bro. Moonlight is a great film that deserves recognition.

Re: Anyone think Best Picture was Staged?
 

I wouldnt be the least bit surprised - and kinda hoping for a troll conspiracy story because it's much more interesting than 'we made a mistake'

Re: Anyone think Best Picture was Staged?
 

Everything is a conspiracy.

That's what they want you to think.

Yoda's pizza and Leslie got together and rigged it.

That sounds elitist...

I can't believe "I, Daniel Blake" wasn't even nominated. I'm guessing it's probably the best movie of 2016.

Na, most things might pretend, but it's become a business of it's own (Alex Jones) -- the more crazier the story, the more survival kits he sells.

If Vietnam (Gulf of Tonkin lie) and Iraq could be "mistakes" then it isn't beyond the realm of possibility to pull a little stunt so people can talk about it. The Oscars haven't been as relevant, and it's business..

Camo is definitely an elitist. :beatty:

Get jokes please. Jesus.

If Price Waterhouse still have the job next year I'll be nodding and saying - Yup...set up.
