Considering I find her to be by far the worst actor on the show, I'm pretty content with the writers not giving her much to do.

You can't exactly just abruptly cut the pay of everyone over a certain threshold. They have expenses like rent/mortgage that could destroy them if they lost pay through no fault of their own.

He was correct considering the video even ended up winning Video of the Year but actually getting up and saying it was a dick move.

The race issue in this show is mind blowing to me. This is one of the most culturally diverse shows on television and no character is characterized by their race at all. You could essentially race swap every character except maybe Daryl and the show would be completely unaffected.

This episode was a lot more intense than the reviewer is making it out to be. Because it is a season finale, the stakes are even higher than usual regarding character death and there were 3 simultaneous scenes where major characters were at significant risk. The purpose of killing off characters prior to this is to…

Considering Shyamalan's track record I'm not sure it's reasonable to assume these were intentionally made this way. Assuming it is anything other than incompetence when he has shown time and time again that he is a terrible filmmaker makes no sense.

It sounds like she already knew a lot about him though so its reasonable she would already know whether he would be compatible with her.

That's not even close to what I said. When you have to put words in my mouth for your "mocking of me", then you are likely not doing a very good job.

Mostly yes, although I suppose a lack of understanding in other categories also does reflect poorly on the Academy's ability to assess qualities of film.

For close to 100 years of the awards, only that many "obvious fuckups" seems fairly reasonable. A lot of those are also only obvious because of hindsight.

I did a search online after stating that and it's apparently about 75% white actors, 25% non-white in speaking roles so statistically speaking there should be about 1 minority in each category I suppose. This doesn't take talent into consideration though, so I have no idea how many white vs non-white A talent actors…

When you look at it as a historical arc then you aren't actually recognizing the best of each year, and are essentially completely destroying the integrity of the awards.

Because those 6,000+ industry experts are obviously less qualified than you when determining what constitutes a great performance.

Better to believe that than assume everything is driven by racism. When the Academy's opinion seems to be in line with the general public regarding performances, then it makes no sense to assume they are the only ones who are being driven by racism.

That's not it at all. Consider how many performances were given by minorities versus white people. Because of the current system, there is probably close to a 10:1 ratio of white actors in films to minorities, yet you are suggesting that the minority actors are somehow overall much better actors. Yes, white actors…

When you finally make an argument that isn't under the incorrect assumption that I'm an Academy member, I may actually give consideration to your terrible arguments.

I didn't realize about 10% of all people aged over 100 were Academy members.

actually, when you present yourself as being the bastion of True Art it should be the opposite. You absolutely shouldn't be compromising your integrity about what you believe is the best of something is in the way you are suggesting

Sure it is. Considering most supporters are likely huge racists, I'd say aesthetics plays a part.

how edgy of you to go against popular opinion. I remember when I was a rebellious 14 year old
