It seems that award shows given for movies is not about the movie lovers. The movie fans who love to watch movies by sitting at home watching them on DVD/Bluray and going to the movie theaters to see the new releases. There are a lot of movie buffs out there which includes me. I’m the biggest movie lover around. Always have been ever since I was a child.

My question is what makes Hollywood think they have the right to choose what is the best? Why can’t we choose what is the best? When it comes to movies, I don’t go by other people’s opinions. Just because movies win awards doesn’t necessarily mean they’re good films. The same goes with the professional movie critics, they are opinionated too and I don’t care what they think.

When watching movies, I always go by my own opinion. For example, I’ll have no problem hating on a movie that everyone likes and I’ll have no problem loving a movie that everyone hates. I have done both with lots of movies. For example, everybody was giving “The Lego Movie” positive reviews and I remember hating it. Everybody hated “50 Shades of Grey” so I decided to have some balls to go see that movie alone and ended up LOVING IT. Don’t get me wrong, though, I will like a film that everybody likes too!

I stopped liking the Oscars when “The Dark Knight” got snubbed for “Best Picture” category that year, remember that? The Academy was never too friendly with superhero films and I thought, “The Dark Knight” was Oscar worthy. I was also pissed at last year’s Oscar that “Gravity” didn’t win “Best Picture” but of course, it went to “12 Years a Slave” instead. I was also upset that Eastwood got snubbed for Best Director for “American Sniper”.

You don’t have to watch award shows to see what is the best. Fuck ’em, ya know? It’s just a trophy that means nothing anyway.

I’m probably gonna watch the Oscars this Sunday ’cause I’m curious of the Best Picture win this year. I don’t think “American Sniper” will win Best Picture. It’s either gonna go to “Boyhood” or “Selma”.

I can see Brad Cooper winning for “Best Actor”, though. If he doesn’t, then I’ll be even more mad.

The Oscars haven’t been that great for the last several years. I watch it every year too. I thought about skipping it this year but I’m curious of which film is gonna win “Best Picture”. Don’t be surprised that “Selma” is gonna win no matter what ’cause of Al Sharpton and his racebaiting buddies. If “Boyhood” wins that’s okay even though that film wasn’t all that great. I do hope Best Picture goes to the right film this year. It really should go to “American Sniper”, that was a really powerful film.
