[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sinners has the aesthetic of a Marvel movie. And that should only be seen as a compliment for those with prepubescent tastes.

It really is a shame that far superior films in the past by Black directors like Do the Right Thing, Devil in a Blue Dress, Killer of Sheep, etc. got overlooked by the Academy for racial reasons and they’re now overcompensating by hyping up middlebrow slop like Sinners. [/quote]

I agree...  but I'd even argue that most of Hollywood is disappointing, to the point that the Oscars don't really seem that meaningful anymore

I personally just prefer international film at this point[/quote]

Let this sink in. Sinners received more nominations than Godfather 2 and 2001: A Space Odyssey COMBINED. [/quote]

Eh, there are reasons that have less to do with the movies themselves.

Godfather II wouldn't receive technical nominations for things like visual effects and sound editing.  2001 wouldn't get nominations for acting or score.  Neither had an original song attached to it.

More nominations tend to go to prestige, acting heavy movies that also feature a heavy technical element, have a prominent score and song.  They ping more categories.[/quote]
