10. The Oscars Are Dumb Because Mainstream Blockbuster X Wasnt Nominated Or Didnt Win
Ever since the Academy expanded the Best Picture selections to 10 films per year it has brought with it one or two more mainstream nominations. These inclusions most notably include Inception, Avatar, and other more visual effects heavy films. I have nothing against either of these films - in fact I tend to love them too and agree that theyre worthy of a nomination. Just because they dont win doesnt mean theres some crime against humanity being committed though. If you dont enjoy the majority of the films nominated then the ceremony isnt targeted at you anyway, so spare us your complaining when the years smartest blockbuster loses to great films like Argo. Rooting for something is fine, I was rallying for Black Swan in 2010 and Inglorious Basterds in 2009 which didnt win but theres nothing you can do. Getting angry isnt going to solve anything.
