I'm very sorry then. Chalk it up to collective low faith in the Weinstein Company.

Getting nominations whenever they deserve it over obviously inferior competitors. Basically, when they're judged on the same standard and not ignored just because a black film won last year.

So true. As much as I hate the Oscar's diversity problem, I love it for raising awareness of more offbeat and interesting films like those. Remember, the Oscars giving Sprited Away an award was a big reason Miyazaki and Ghibli could get a cultural foothold here, so they still can serve a great purpose if their power…

Given how little of Turing's sexuality is in the film from what I've heard, I think you're off the hook.

And yet an Oscar win, or even a nomination, is a huge help in the industry. "Academy Award nominated" opens doors in Hollywood, doors Ava Duvernay and David Oyelowo won't see open in the near future because the Academy wants to pat Bennett Miller and Bradley Cooper on the back again.

12 Years a Slave had an aggressive and hard fought marketing campaign to barely eke out a win over "white people fight the mob or something by David O. Russell". Selma botches a little bit and gets shut out. American Sniper had just as late a release and did fine. One counter example does not invalidate "historically".

As much as I would love this, people love awards and validation, and if the Academy suddenly collapsed all that would do would make us call the Golden Globes the most important award. Instruction on how the Academy doesn't really matter would help, but change needs to happen inside too.

It's the television equivalent of poetry.

By the time the third season starts, Parks and Parenthood will have ended, so it will be the only show worth watching there.

We're promised an Abigail flashback episode, to fill in what she was doing during season 2, but she's probably sadly dead for real.

I remember watching the Best Friends Forever pilot thinking "St. Clair and Parnham are fantastic, need a much better show"

I only skimmed the article, but Richard Armitage as Will's love interest is a bold, but fantastic choice.

Andy and April would LOVE Hannibal's parties, especially when they learn about the cannibalism.

So upset at this. At least the purportedly great Playing House has another season, I should check that out.

I felt immediate regret after clicking post, because I realized the Brain Balls challenge that title.

Same. This way it can hold a rarefied air as Futurama's best one-off race, rather than being just another funny alien race.

Tell my wife I said "hello"
