I hope they're all VERY independent.. Usually, we have people who have seen everything. But I want to find these kinds of "far-out" awarded movies -- I'm done re-watching movies, and I need unique,...

Re: Do you think Academy Awards has hurt film?

As a side question, especially for the art-house lovers... Are there Annual Award organizations you do like? I've seen some as a result of watching movies I like when the awards for the obscure movie...

Re: Do you think Academy Awards has hurt film?

If there were no Oscars, something else would take its place. Maybe something more accurate? A day when everyone calls (or texts some digit for their choices) some Academy line and give them their...

Re: Do you think Academy Awards has hurt film?

I'm glad there was no Officer Rules around my neighborhood when someone would yell how they were going to "kill" their little brother. He might have shot them in the back 22 times to score moral...

Re: Do you think Academy Awards has hurt film?

I think schpielberg and sandler are a huge part why hollywood is dead... why couldn't they have died in the 1970s and give us back one of our artists?

Re: Do you think Academy Awards has hurt film?

I think "The Deer Hunter" has stood the test of time, but I never really understood what that meant, especially since everyone has their own division of it.

There's many great movies I've seen who win awards, but would never be mentioned by an oscar. Film festivals, or even something like the New York Film Critics Circle, or other award shows.

Yes, it makes it hard for the talented ones with so much saturation.

Re: Do you think Academy Awards has hurt film?

It seems so this year.. It's a show to advertise (and pat themselves on the back) the movies but I wonder if people remember who won/lost, and if there's a surge in those movies that were at least...

Re: Do you think Academy Awards has hurt film?

Without the Oscars, I think the word on great films would get out, but maybe more selection... Having said that, a lot of Oscar Best Picture winners are great films. And having said that, I know...

I didn't like Birdman, thought I would. I think Michael Keaton is a decent actor. A few of my friends said Grand Budapest was bad after telling them I liked Rushmore... I won't see American Sniper...

It sounds like the reason why I'll watch the major 3 networks for news. I'm interested in what millions of people are listening to, and it's pretty scary.

What's your pick for Best Picture? I...

Re: Do you think Academy Awards has hurt film?

This started with the AFI Top 100, or just the best movies in general. Now anyone can make a movie, but regardless, wouldn't you say there were more GREAT films before as compared to today.. Not just...

Re: Do you think Academy Awards has hurt film?

I think you said there were 9 movies on the list, but I wouldn't consider "Unforgiven" that great of a movie, and I have it. I'm 32, so it's not nostalgia. I know some people just love things from...

Re: Do you think Academy Awards has hurt film?

I doubt they'd be awful films (I haven't seen those), but if "American Sniper" made $700,000 it wouldn't be nominated. I think it's a safe choice, patriotic film (even though it's so historically...
