| "K-ON movie" ... Maybe Tekkon Kinkreet or Millennium Actress? Nothing comes to mind as definitely Oscar worthy. |

Kinda like saying that the Super bowl is a joke because it is too sporty. Makes no sense. my main reasons for Hating them and thinking there a Joke are Purely Artistic Reasons more wothy film awards are the Gran Prix [ Cannes] the Palme Do'r the jury award better know as th golden lotus [ Hong kong] all three of these really judge international Films not under Joke Catagors like Best Forigian Film and the best director Oscar is the single biggest joke in the world and when the best Movie ever made did not win best Picture yes that a Joke mitch3315 said: No kiddingSince when has he ever made sense?

DateYutaka said: Right bring up a list of the last 15 best picture winners vs the last 15 Gran Prix winners to prove my point For your information: For the Cannes Film Festival: Palme d'Or>Grand Prix. |
| I rarely watch American movies, let alone international movies, but some of the Palme d'Or winners sound really interesting. Might have to pick a few up and/or download. |

| You have a very strange obsession with whether or not something is "a good adaptation", which is in and of itself a sketchy concept. Can you ever just enjoy something for what it is? |
LoneWolf said: @Josh makes me sad to call myself Canadian. |
| Coincidence? Yes. The Artist - Box office: $133,432,856 Awards won: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Original Score, Best Costume Design Black Swan - Box office: $329,398,046 Awards won: Best Actress Transformers 3 - Box office: $1,123,746,996 Awards won: Nothing The amount of money a film made, or it's popularity, is not taken into consideration. And you think it is dumb because the films you like more don't win. That's what I'm getting from your posts. Well that seems kind of selfish and egotistical. But then again, it is your personal opinion, who am I to say that you are wrong? |

A movie that is not in English Language can't win the Best Picture award. |
DateYutaka said: Watchmen for example how many people who are not fans of comics know that movie or all the Marvel or DC stuff right name me one non comic fan who knew who gwen stacy was[ or her relvence to spider-man cannon] in the new spider man movie of you were not a Fan of the Comics BRAND NAME RECOGNITION I don't read any comics and I know what Watchmen is, and I knew who Gwen Stacy was. |

DateYutaka said: Watchmen for example how many people who are not fans of comics know that movie Now here's a example why you're obsession over good adaptations is bullsh*t. This movie was basically one of the best adaptations ever, but was it one of the best movies? No. Because what makes a great movie isn't always what makes a great book or comic or whatever medium you want to mention. |
DateYutaka said: "If it's not a close adaptation", I think you mean. Not everyone agrees with your definition of good, including me. if its not good adaptation why put the name of the source in the title if its not Just a Cash in the Name bring in the Fans of the Source Watchmen for example how many people who are not fans of comics know that movie or all the Marvel or DC stuff right name me one non comic fan who knew who gwen stacy was[ or her relvence to spider-man cannon] in the new spider man movie of you were not a Fan of the Comics BRAND NAME RECOGNITION And it's simple, because movie adaptations are based on the source material. Where they go from that base is completely up to those making the movie. Some stories don't naturally translate well into movie form, and thus appropriate changes can be made at the discretion of someone who knows how to make a movie, not the discretion of someone who knows how to write a book. The brand name recognition argument is just silly. Of course adaptations cater to fans of the source material. That's often quite literally the point. |

A movie that is not in English Language can't win the Best Picture award. Ie its a Joke a Racist Idea The Cannes Festival a French Festival Gave it the best award and no Old Boy was not the Movie w i was talking about when i said the Best of all time just to say No, this isn't racist. The Cannes Festival is an international Festival. The Academy awards isnt. In France, we have the Cesar awards, in Japan, there is the Blue Ribbon Awards and the Japan Academy Prize, they worked like the Academy awards and mostly awards the local movie industry. You take the academy awards for what they aren't. |

| Also Kara No Kyoukai 5 is worthy of an Oscar in my opinion. Not that the Oscars mean anything, but since they're considered with such high regards across the world, it would be nice for an anime movie to get one. |
The forums are dark, and full of ego. |
| None. Oscar is not anime-worthy. |
MaedhrostheTall said: The Oscars are basically just a Hollywood-patting-itself-on-the-back award This. It's a self promoting event and they mainly award american family comedies. |
| I don't like the Oscars for the reasons stated above. That said, the Oscars is American, an event directed towards the general American public. Only media that the mainstream U.S would recognize would ever get awarded in the first place. Miyazaki is well-known in the West, but other anime movies would not be familiar with your average American movie-watcher. I would say that Satoshi Kon's works is well-deserving of an award, but other than anime fans, who would recognize them in the first place? The Oscars would never promote the likes of Paprika or Millennium Actress, simply because most of the audience wouldn't have heard of it. |
| sir, all you have done throughout this entire court session is break dance in front of the judge. where is your lawyer. what are you even charged with. |

Yes, because the Oscars are terrified of nominating movies most people have never heard of. |
