DL says Best Picutre is next. Saving Chadwick Boseman for last? Antibody Apr 25, 19:59

Faith in polling? Or peeking? (nm) Patient Player Apr 25, 20:05

Oops, what a letdown. Guess Hopkins went to bed. {nm} Antibody Apr 25, 20:15

Bah. What an awful ending. {nm} slappydavid Apr 25, 20:21

What was the friggin’ point of saving Best Actor for last?! {nm} Jay_Beezy Apr 25, 20:21

they wanted to avoid the inevitable backlash....the old white guy gets it....shocking. A black man dies...and still can't win the Oscar... 3ebfan511 Apr 25, 20:37

kidding ? but sadly not. Unless someone that say both can confirm that Hopkins was really THAT much better in The Father..... 3ebfan511 Apr 25, 20:38

If you haven't seen either film, why are you commenting/joking? RupertPupkin Apr 25, 20:47

Someone said they had seen 0 nominated films on the same board.....many haven't. Point is Boseman was the "Favorite" by numbers.... 3ebfan511 Apr 25, 20:59

it just doesn't make sense, if his acting was that much worse...why would he be such a strong favorite ? Sounds like the academy missed.... {nm} 3ebfan511 Apr 25, 21:00

The Academy has the largest voting base of any of the awards. They didn't "miss;" they simply preferred Hopkins' performance. RupertPupkin Apr 25, 21:03

Yes, the academy never "missed" in picking nearly 0 black winners in 80 years. The old white guy needed his 2nd while Bosman has 0..... 3ebfan511 Apr 25, 21:08

The same Academy voted for Daniel Kaluuya this year. {nm} Antibody Apr 25, 21:58

But if he was nominated for Best Actor apparently he wouldn't have.... 3ebfan511 Apr 25, 22:37

And as we all know, betting odds are always right and massive underdogs never win. {nm} HurricaneKid Apr 26, 06:57

of course. But the academy has a history of "upsets" that pretty much never favor a person of color. How convenient. Only 1 black female 3ebfan511 Apr 26, 08:47

"I feel like Chadwick Boseman is George Floyd now" Well at you're obvious about your race-baiting. Props for that. {nm} HurricaneKid Apr 26, 09:05

I think you failed today's lesson.....please repeat. {nm} 3ebfan511 Apr 26, 09:43
