FUCK the Academy!!! (Oscars)

[Vinnie Velvet]

Fuck the whole Academy.

Fuck the Oscars.

Revenge of the Sith was no doubt the biggest movie in terms of SOUND, VISUAL EFFECTS and so on and it doesn't get nominated for either.

Its obvious the Academy (Hollywood) still hates Lucas for being an independent filmaker who basically does what he wants and does not have to listen to studio execs., etc.

The first Star Wars Lucas had to get buy in to get it done -- it won 7 oscars.

Empire, he financed himself as well as Jedi. Both only received a special achievement award for visual effects.

By Episode I, Lucas had everything. Not only an effects company but also everything else (THX, LucasArts, etc) and so on (and ushered in the era of digital movie making -- instead of using standard film).

Fuck the Oscars.

Absolutely.

RotS was without a doubt the best sounding, best looking, best special effects movie of the year...of the last THREE years...

I guess they were pissed because Obi Wan and Anakin didn't realize an undying passion for each other on Planet Brokeback?

Yeah, no kidding.

Forgot to mention though
, that the Academy (without completely looking like a bunch of dumb fucks) did nominate ROTS for Best Makeup in that category.

But NOTHING for sound, visual effects, etc.

Lucas has our money, support, and our respect, he doesn't need that little statue.
It comes as no surprise to me as these stupid awards shows became a sham several decades ago.

In Golden Holywood it meant something to actors because it meant a pay raise....These days salaries have become standardized so it doesn't do much more than make more casting directors look your way.

That hardly means much to high caliber stars like Pacino, Hoffman, Willis, Kidman, Cruise etc. they pick their projects.

Maybe if Oscar was real Gold?

It's all politics and i'm sure Lucas doesn't give a shit, the movie was still the best of the year.

I know, he doesn't give a shit and never has.

The people responded making it the #1 grossing movie in the US (Fag boy Potter dipped just past it for the top movie worldwide).

Afterall, it did win favorite movie at the People's Choice Awards.

I'm starting the think that little gold statue is nothing more than a dildo to pleasure your gay lover with. Does it come with lube?

Didn't Lucas quit all the guilds over problems with the opening credits of Empire? That might have something to do with his continued snubs.

RotS sucked...

[BigBadBrian]

Look at the Grammy's.

Another Award Show that needs to have a bullet put in it.

Worthless.

Yeah, that has something to do with it as well.

He's not a part of any guild or association.

The director's guild threatened to postpone the release of Empire and Lucas had just had about enough and said "FUCK YOU".

Didn't he get fined out the ass as well for having the credits at the end rather than the beginning? Pissed off the writers guild, directors guild, producers guild, etc...

Oh poo!

How can you deny the intensity of my "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" at the end of the film?!?!?

I worked my ASS off on getting that just right!
