This is because we liberals decided to make it racial, and use Moonlight as a stand in for all social justice everywhere.

See, if we liberals were such PC Nazis, we'd never allow some of the comments in this very thread, which I am in the process of reporting to GLAAD.

But Faye's eyes were boring into him, I'm the grand dame here, pass it to me.

Moonlight and Hidden would still have gotten in. As with Fences, I'm not certain actors know the difference between a filmed play and a movie, going off the number of filmed plays that get nominated. But the year that generated the OSW controversy didn't have worthy contenders in Oscar type films. And people who made…

Btw, the Blind Side totally would've been nominated in old Hollywood under the 5 or 10 nomination system. The stars and makers and style of an older version might've convinced us it was better than it was.

I would've fought somebody that Gone Girl got more than one Oscar nomination, and that -as another AV Club piece alluded to- that Pacino did get nominated for Godfather 3. Especially that second one. I should chalk this up to the Mandela Effect, otherwise I have to admit to aging.

Possibly my favorite movie. I saw this as a bullied teenager and it took me on a crazy emotional journey. I got cast autographs at a signing, and Piper scared me so much I worry I annoyed her. She can be as intimidating off screen as on. Hers is one of my favorite performances ever. Two other Oscar nominees played the…

I'm loving the av club comments today, at least for the "watch this" feature.

What Can You Lose was chopped from the video release as I remember. And I agree, and just love the song.

My mother screened this at my 5th birthday party with a projector from the library, and it made everyone cry. An existential silent French children's film for a party. Thanks, Ma! (That's not insincere).

I had thought the shirt probably was racist, but is this our standard? Something used to be racist? Before we were born? You're going to have to apologize for a lot.

The thing about Ann Coulter is that her fan base was pretty well contained when people realized what she was all about. But Milo was promoting himself as "too hot for mtv," and that seems to have worked for him. So many comments saying I heard Milo was awful then I listened to him and he's just edgy, etc. if Maher…

Now he's a molestation victim? Of legal age and willing? His next unpublished book will be called Brave Survivor and be hawked on Dr Phil.

Just rewatched this on Amazon Prime. It's very well made, but god the sex scenes are ridiculous or genius. Can't figure it out. And it really is hard to support Glenn Close's character much as I wanted to. But the thought that there's some existential threat to the Family from without wasn't contrived here, it seems…

Milo dies inside every time you use this fat photo. I'm not theorizing, he's said so.

PS, I am completely aware that this is a completely bad place to have any kind of earnest discussion, but sometimes I can't help myself.

…

Its basis is Twilight in which men literally wage cosmic war for some basic brunette who calls herself the Beautiful Swan.

Sounds like the Wisconsin nymphomaniac from Family Guy.

The first movie was preoccupied with contract negotiations." You'll allow me to do this, that and the other." It was making a case for affirmative consent and not being sexy at all in the process. And it's not like feminists gave the movie points for doing this. And this movie seems to follow a similar path. Is this…
