The Rise of Skywalker will win an Oscar for best picture

It being the last installment of a movie saga that pretty much changed the cinema forever, I believe that The Rise shall be given the Academy Award in the most prestigious category as a form of recognition to the entire franchise. I believe The Return of a King was awarded in the same vain, as a token for the entire LOTR movie series. I believe Star Wars movies shall be given the same kind of nod. I guess we'll find out whether that scenario has any validity on January 13th, when the nominees get announced.

Who gives a shit about the Oscars anymore beside idiots and industry sycophants, the ceremony & awards have been an open joke for a couple of decades now.

So, has Friday the 13th become April the 1st?

[–] Threadkiller (3089) 5 years ago

These Hollyweird award shows are utterly corrupt with industry politics and useless as a true measure of anything. it would hardly shock me and I could care less.

They are sanctioned "Hate Whitey" events now.

[–] Threadkiller (3089) 5 years ago

"Whitey" runs these events.

[–] B1cKsurN (17825) 5 years ago

No they do not.

[–] Threadkiller (3089) 5 years ago

"Whitey" certainly does so I guess it must be "whitey" on "whitey" hate.

Quotes do not change reality.

I think by 'Whitey', he means the people that wear beanies to church, who don't consider themselves 'white' unless it's to their advantage.

[–] Threadkiller (3089) 5 years ago

The "Nuh uh!" argument doesn't change reality either.

Guilt.

COULDN'T care less, you mean. What you wrote is that you still care.

Yeah awards shows are corrupt and rigged the only way to know if a movie is good/popular is the amount it makes at the box office which reflects the amount of people going to see it, hard numbers win over hollywood elite opinions

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

So you believe in conspiracy theories related to the awards shows, but believe reported box office pure as the wind driven snow?

. . . little cognitive dissonance going on there, Cupcake.

No wonder you scurry around the threads like a little rat with your details scrubbed.

Yep, just like Resident Evil: The Final Chapter did.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

I guarantee it won't even be nominated for best picture.

It’ll probably do very well at the Razzies

[–] BurningSun (717) 5 years ago

I think we all deep down know damn well the Star Wars franchise is long from over. Maybe this saga has ended, but Star Wars will definitely see more sequels, prequels, and side films within the next few years.

Lol ok time will tell
