Allied http://amzn.to/2lT9OPH
Collateral Beauty http://amzn.to/2lrexaK
Lol! Denial?! Of course it will fail if it talks even remotely about holocaust lies… Hollywood is owned by jews… and Citizen4? It's telling everyone the truth about the US government and the spionage on everyone in the world.,
Woody Allens movies from the last 5 years haven't had any Oscar noms.
tired of too much WW II and Holocaust stories, psychological, race,religion and also pandering to old hollywood in oscar movies. For the love of god,STOP HIRING LILY COLLINS! She's the worst, box office and critical poison.
I remember like 4 of those movies
Just make great movies, reflecting your vision of life and arts. Oscars will maybe come afterwards, yet won't define how great your movie is.
This list is a fucking joke.
This list is racist
the birth of a nation seriously got screwed over and it was all over political bullshit…..you judge a movie based on it's quality. not what's going on behind the scenes. this was a really good movie and mate Parker Definetly deserved an Oscar nom.
Girl, why do you forget to take the cock out of your mouth every time you pronounce "WatchMojo"?
Emily Blunt was great in The Girl on the Train. She should have won the Oscar, but wasn't even nominated
Allied was a better film than Moonlight but Brad Pitt wasn't as good as Ali! Allied was better than La La Land in every way though.
Birth of a nation was actually really good though
The Birth Of A Nation shouldn't be on here, it was pulled from theaters because of what it was about
I feel the name, "The Birth of a Nation", probably didn't help the film, it doesn't carry much goodwill. Honestly, when I first heard of it I thought it was remake of the 1915 film.
Will Smith needs to stop trying to win an Oscar and just give solid performances with good material. He's really talented and has done really well, he needs to stop wondering where his Oscar is. If he gets the right role, it'll come to him (see: Forrest Whittaker)
Anthropoid Was so good
Holy shit Timothy Spall got skinny
I'm so happy she pronounced "Marion Cotillard" correctly lol
Oscar Bates-
a gay, black, physically handicapped, mentally handicapped (but not too mentally handicapped), optimistic jewish deaf kid, treks through Auschwitz to fill a pool with his own tears so that his true love, Goldie Globes (wait I thought he was gay?), a quadriplegic, blind, atheist lesbian (wait she's gay? are they both gay?) can swim for the first time since her parents died in a hot air balloon emergency landing.
She drowns at the end.
American Pastoral
Collateral Beauty
Snowden
Denial
Southside With You
Swiss Army Man
Captain Fantastic
Cafe Society
Anthropoid
The Birth of a Nation
Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk
Allied was such a disappointment. The best part was the first 5 minutes. I'd rather watch the trailer for 2 hours than the actual movie
How many people went cross-states to see Billy Lyon's Long Halftime Walk?
Moonlight had PC subject matter and.Lalaland was promoted to death…thus the nomimations. Neither were great
Flags of our fathers .
Girl in the train was a great film! Shouldn't be on this list!
The only thing I disagree with on this list is The girl of the train. Emily blunt had a chance to win the Best Actress nomination for The Girl of the Train.
I knew BIRTH OF A NATION was due for a massive backlash when I heard that it had gotten a standing ovation at Sundance BEFORE the movie had even screened.
Not to mention the obscene amount of money it was bought for.
In the top ten Oscar baits u guys were like it had good reviews and bomb box office but now 7pounds was panned guys make up ur fucking mind
i liked denial
Birth of a Nation did not fail, even though the mainstream media tried to sabotage it with that fake rape story. Nate Parker did not rape anybody, some girl in college got drunk and had sex with him an when she woke up she had regret so she accused him of rape but he was found NOT GUILTY in court. And the movie sold out its budget in the first week so you guys can shut the fuck with that bullshit.
