Good one lol.

what sort of comedy do you want to see them nominate? The Hangover III? It's these kind of generic criticisisms that bear no weight. |
I guess I need to watch my wording around here. How's this:
"One thing that's turned me off the Oscars for years now is its consistent failure to give AS MUCH recognition to comedies or animated films."
Now you know I don't mean literally every single animated film or comedy, since clearly that's what I meant the first time 
Anyway, no, I'm not talking about The Hangover franchise. Some that would come to mind would be the Muppets movie (despite being one of the most critically acclaimed films of the year it received one nomination), The World's End or the other two films in that series, some would argue Spring Breakers (I haven't seen it and can't say), etc. I could go on but I honestly don't care that much. As for animated films, everything Miyazaki directed says hi. In fact, aside from the two you mentioned, there hasn't been an animated film nominated for best picture since...well, I'm not sure. I went back as far as 1998 and still hadn't found one. Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle have comedic elements but they're both pretty dramatic as far as comedies go (if you'd even label them as such).
So yes, some comedies and animated films are recognized (I'm not sure how it wasn't blatantly obvious to you that my comment wasn't intended to say otherwise), but if you haven't noticed a bias towards more dramatic films at the Oscars then I'm not sure who you're kidding.
Lighten up.

Compared to other big films awards bodies (BAFTA, Golden Globes, Broadcast Critics etc) not at all. They actually do much better in that department than they perhaps could.
Sorry it just pisses me of when people throw baseless accusations at an awards body just because their faves didn't make it.. It's a bit childish. Unless the awards body is so out of touch that it's a joke (the grammys) it's just a matter of 6000 people having a different opinion to you.

Oscars, while probably (and deservedly so) the most relevant award out there, still shouldn't be set as a "benchmark" when rating movies. While you can't say it downright ignores comedies, there's still a certain "type" of films they prefer. Obviously, it is also heavily biased towards murrican films, so there's that...

In all seriousness, I actually hated Brave because I wanted it to be more feminist and thought it was a fucking cop out on that front.

I wasn't trying to express disapproval because their tastes don't match mine, though I suppose I can see why it came off that way. I mean, I'm not that bothered about Frozen not being nominated, I was just disappointed 'cuz it was one of my favorites. I was more trying to express disapproval of what definitely appears to me as a consistent bias towards certain types if movies. You are correct in saying every other awards show expresses a similar bias, but that doesn't really make it better imo lol
Of course it doesn't really matter in real life, so I'm not legitimately upset or anything.

No, I absolutely agree with that and the line 'well it won the oscar so it must be better' is of course incredibly stupid. But same with BEAMAs peeps complain every year and it's like do you not have any perspective that other people besides you have opinions and are voting in this? I mean I invented the thing and half my top ten didn't get a look in anywhere - but who cares? They're not the sort of albums that get a consensus (unlike Reflektor, Modern Vampires etc). Same for the oscars - consensus films are going to make it. That's why not as many comedies will get in because not every comedy panders to everyone's sense of humour whereas most dramas are relatable to most people. In fact Her is pretty lucky it got in considering its uniqueness as a film.
EDIT: woops, probably went off on a tangent there </3

Yeah, kind of boring tbh, but the oscars are never known for their gutsiness. Perhaps not a huge surprise Inside Llewyn didn't get nominated, even if the Coens certainly have gotten plenty of recognition in the recent past. And I was slightly hoping to be wonderfully surprised by an Adele Exarchapolous nomination but like that was ever going to happen, even with the academy being mostly a heterosexual male (albeit older) dominated organization

Missing too much Walter Mitty and The Butler. Jose Gonzalez should FOR SURE be up for best song of the year.
