Black Panther was good, it wasn’t great. Infinity War should be the Marvel movie in the running for Best Picture in my opinion.
I think they’re saving that for Endgame.
+Ren Outlaw Lol no, Thanos is really overrated. His edge lord ideals fall apart the moment anyone takes a second to even think about them.
King Baby hiya how are u😜😋😊😘
The only Marvel movie i’d consider for Best Picture is Guardians of the Galaxy. All the other stuff is okay, but not like great. Black Panther is not even the best Marvel movie this year. It’s okay at best!
+CHE6yp Yo what about Logan though? Or is that not really a Marvel movie because it’s not part of the MCU, just like no one thinks of Sin City as being a Marvel movie.
The Dark Knight was totally robbed sadly . But then again , awards don’t really matter
Yeah right…its the community that spreads love..not the amount of awards a film garners
MI: Fallout was snubbed.
I don’t watch any of the awards ceremonies, the movies I love rarely get nominated. Taste and preference is subjective and I take other people’s preferences with a grain of salt.
It’s why I have high cholesterol. So many opinions, so much salt.
This.
I simply don’t watch TV.
You should at least give the foreign films a shot, they probably the best category of the oscars
True Crime Mysteries hiya how are u😜😋😊😘
Into the Spiderverse is a better movie than Black Panther.
the best movie ever is …
oh yeah yeah
oh yeah yeah
oh yeah yeah
Amar Azlan hiya how are u😜😋😊😘
I haven’t seen into the spiderverse and I don’t really think it seems all that good but I agree with you.
+Jay King best animated picture idz just the Disney category now
+BlindEagle Ace current Doctor Who got great ratings the first episode, now figures are beneath 6 million…
I remember the aggressive campaign for La La Land. It’s kind of a miracle that Moonlight won.
Moonlight literally only won because of the whole “#OscarsSoWhite” controversy the previous year, had that not happened Moonlight wouldn’t have even gotten a nomination, never mind best picture. The Academy has a history of pandering like that, even when they do the right thing it’s for all the wrong reasons
+Cosmo Even though it won for the wrong reasons, I’m still glad Moonlight won because I thought it was a better film than La La Land
+Cosmo Moonlight is an amazing film tho worthy of winning it.
also moonlight was published by A24, their movies get nominated a lot.
The movie was such garbage when it came to musicals too
+Cosmo You don’t know that! Also La La Land is not revolutionary at all. Moonlight is and it shows the nuance of homophobia in the black community.
Bohemian Rhapsody It’s not gay enough. wtf reason is that.
+Obsidian Sinclaire exactly.
Progressivism is what it is
+PotatoVillager If that was true, why was there so much emphasis on his relationship with Mary?
+Kasumi231 Here we go again, he was gay. He said he was gay, Mary said he was gay, his band mates said he was gay, Peter Freestone (his PA) said he was gay, Jim Hutton said he was gay. If you want a Bisexual musician, look to David Bowie.
ACE112ACE112 hiya how are u😜😋😊😘
When people talked about how they abused a dog in “A Dog’s Purpose” and it ended up being false accusations, I guess that would count as a whisper campaign. Man, I can’t believe I never noticed this happening. It’s gonna be hard to believe any news about any movie between now and the Oscar’s.
+Beth ! That all turned out to be a misunderstanding. They were trying to get the dog to go into the water, but it wasn’t by force. There are even videos of the dog being treated very well
George Zakhia oh ok didn’t realise thanks for telling me!! That’s a relief!
+George Zakhia Yeah that’s horseshit. The video clearly shows the dog doesn’t want to go anywhere near the water and this guy’s trying to push it in, then because that doesn’t work he grabs the dog by the neck fur and dumps it in the water and pulls it back out.
I don’t really see how that could be a “misunderstanding”, not even that keen on dogs but you’re a complete idiot if you believed what the studio said.
+Foxtrot You watched the edited version of the events. Here is Philip’s take on the events a day later when it happened, I’m assuming you might have missed it: https://youtu.be/UEmrE2OAjG8
Moss hiya how are u😜😋😊😘
Yea I just watch a video of how Harvey Weinstein creates this campaign system and how he basically stole the best picture Oscar from ‘Saving Private Ryan’ because ‘Shakespeare in love’ had the best marketing campaign. It’s crazy how much money can sway a person.
That was the last year I watched the Oscar’s. These days I just read an article summarizing everything.
I am still pissed about that. “Shakespeare in Love” has its charms, but it is dwarfed by “Saving Private Ryan” (which I personally believe is much more than just “2 great combat sequences sandwiching a mediocre war film”, but that’s a whole other comments-section). The most pissed I’ve ever been at the Oscars was in 2016: in my STRONG opinion Scorsese’s “Silence” was robbed of many deserved nominations (particularly for the Japanese cast, at least 2 of whom I was sure would get nominated Best Supporting Actor….).
But yeah. That’s my rant. 🙂
Ugh why did you have to remind me of that travesty?
Don’t forget, before going woke was a thing, movies about the holocaust was pure gold. Philadelphia might have been a better movie, with much better characters and acting than Schindler’s List.
Haha, i also watched that video today!
Wait, am I the only one who noticed the Oscar has developed a better voting system than the US currently does?
+JavelinJoe703 most of my ex’s are from those areas. And let me tell you, my NYC ex is the smartest and most educated, as well as the most giving towards the needy.
+JavelinJoe703 my thoughts exactly. I’ve lived in very red pockets of notably blue states- NY, MA, CT, and PA. Winner-take-all means someone’s vote is discarded. That’s how we get glitches, like the couple times where popular vote didn’t match the electoral winner. Everyone should vote, but even if everyone does, some of them will be thrown out by our current system.
+John Doe it doesn’t. Look at Texas and California as primary examples. The majority of the cities in Texas alongside the rural are extremely Republican or lean Republican. The high population numbers make the votes from El Paso, Austin, and the Rio Grande Valley be overlooked by the big cities of Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth. This happens in California as well. Outside of the big cities such as LA, San Diego, etc. Rural or small cities in California are dominantly Republican but their votes get drowned by the vast population of the big cities that vote Democratic. Either way you put it, the big cities still dictate the vote with the current method since it’s a winner take all in the presidential election. The only solution is to split electoral votes depending on the percentage of votes a candidate wins in the state.
Who are whisper campaigns and false accusations against other movies a better system? Wtf are you talking about 😂
Oh my god shut up.
Is there any establishment in America that isn’t corrupted in one way or another?
I wanna say Chick-fil-A but they probably keep chickens in horrible conditions or something.
Id say in general, the smaller the organization the less corruption. Perhaps in a small town elementary school or a small church
+Jac Never trust churches.
As much as Black panther was good it was NOT Oscar worthy. I’m sorry. Some of the dialogue was extremely modern and cliche. It seemed played out as most marvel origin stories. Culturally it was amazing but film wise it wasn’t great.
Marvel fan here. I agree. Black Panther could of been way better. Infinity war >>>>> Black Panther
I want people to take the time to compare it to other superhero films that got academy worthy buzz, films like The Dark Knight and Logan. Can anyone honestly say Black Panther is on the same level of excellence as those two films?
Ashley Chen hell naw not if you’re throwing Logan in there. I still cry TILL THIS DAY when Logan dies
+Beatriz Zacharias have to completely disagree… It was nt rooted in a single African culture as it was mashing up badly certia. African cultures. As a black South African i was underwhelmed.
Screw culture narrative if your movie is really a rehash storyline and has sooo much plot holes it barely holda water. To me this movie was no better then Thor 2
Alex hiya how are u😜😋😊😘
10:10 Hey! How is Freddy Mercury simply being gay something dark? They certainly don’t shy away from making it look dark even in the PG-13 movie. AIDS should be the only real villan here, but they make Prentere out to be the villan, and he just happens to be the first gay character we meet if I remember correctly. Are 13 year olds not allowed to know that dibilatating diseases are bad? How are these not fair criticisms? You call it a whisper campaign but there are many news outlets pointing out the same exact thing. I’m not sure you fully understand the criticisms leveled at the movie.
prenter was terrible but yeah i do think they glossed over that part and just missed a lot of stuff
My grandfather was a member of the academy for as long as I could remember. It was always fun because he’d get new movie releases months before they came out in theaters so he could watch them and vote on the various categories. I remember when the second pirates of the Caribbean movie arrived in the mail, I watched it over winter break and was confused when my friends hadn’t seen it yet when I got back to school. Then I realized it wouldn’t be out in theaters for at least a month. He passed away a couple years ago so for the first time in my memory the movies stopped arriving. Between him being an actor and the constant stream of movies for years, film has come to be a huge part of my life. Probably why I got into making videos.
Way to plug in your Youtube channel…
+Danny his story is very relevant to the video, maybe the most relevant one in top comments, he’s relevant and honest about his story so what plugging are you taking about! we can already see he’s a video maker from the check mark, not everyone is a sellout until proven otherwise
YouTube making this trend in order to make it seem like their not the most corrupt organization. I see you YouTube. Keep asking questions
The Thought Emporium hiya how are u😜😋😊😘
I’m sorry for your loss
She was doing so well with the story that when phil came back for outro it startled me, I had forgotten I was even watching a Philip Defranco show lol
I know right!!! I had to check and make sure I was still watching the philly d show.
Same here, Completely forgot until he popped back up and then I was like…”Oh, right!”
The Nickelodeon kids award show has more relevancy and importance to me than the Oscars.
It actually be kind of hilarious if we found out that the same shady practices that’s going on in Oscar’s is going on at during the Nickelodeon kids choice awards.
How old are you?
Spongebob numbah 1
+Trayxxxx Kids Choice Awards is open voting, anyone with access to the internet can vote.
Are you a child by any chance?
I just watched an episode of Adam Ruins Everything where they literally did an exact episode on this topic. Anyone else watch this series on Netflix?
Hes hit or miss
This is why awards suck and it’s themselves giving themselves awards… an ego festival of narcissism
Yeah, saw that episode, about a year or so ago, its why the whole campaigning for Oscars didn’t surprise me.
was it just me or did you forget this was a philip defranco video lol
