We should not be celebrating white men when they are masterful at their portrayal of shameful/disgusting/twisted/wicked elements from their culture and history. It is not at all a liberating position to be able to portray art that talks to the worst aspects of your culture, let alone make millions from doing so.

Grant should get a mulligan here IMO; he did get a blowjob from a person-of-colour in disgrace to his white wife at the time.

Yup, I just went through the entire list of best picture winners and I've only ever watched maybe 13 of them in total. Last best picture winner I've seen was 2012's Argo :)
 
Does anyone actually watch or care about the Oscars anymore? I mean apart from the self-admiration and back-slapping that the celebrities do each year.

Yet here we are with a thread for it...
Don't recall ever really caring about these things. Just do your job and act in a movie and that's all I care about. Voetsek with your dumb awards.

I had no intention of watching The Brutalist, but now I have to see what all the fuss is about after the Emmy awards.

I went through the list of 96 winners and I have watched 16 -
  • Lawrence of Arabia
  • Rocky (Multiple times)
  • The Deer Hunter (Once was enough, this is one heavy film)
  • Platoon (Multiple times)
  • Silence of the Lambs (Multiple times)
  • Schindler's List (Multiple times)
  • Forrest Gump (Multiple times)
  • Braveheart (Multiple times)
  • Titanic (Multiple times)
  • American Beauty
  • Gladiator (Multiple times)
  • Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (Multiple times)
  • Million Dollar Baby (This one makes me cry like a baby)
  • Crash
  • The King's Speech
  • Birdman
Since Birdman won in 2014, the only movie I feel I have dropped the ball on not watching is Oppenheimer. I should probably also watch The Shape of Water, Green Book and Parasite.
