The Oscars
Front-Ranger:
Oscar nominations were announced...ho hum again. :-\ Why oh why are the Oscars so boring and lily white? Well, I read that the LA Times took a survey and found that academy voters are 94 percent white, 76 percent men and an average of 63 years old. Hmmm, that may explain it.
CellarDweller:
I'm sure it does. Once they die off, and the panel changes, the nominations will change as well.
oilgun:
I really hope The Weekend wins for best song so that the movie will forever be known as : The Oscar winning Fifty Shades of Grey! Joke aside, it really IS the best song.
Front-Ranger:
Nice to hear from you, Gil! I hope it wins too. I'm upset that Far From the Madding Crowd wasn't nominated for costume design. Well, I'm upset about a lot of things, Oscar wise, and that's one of them.
