View Full Version : This year's Oscars were un-fucking-believably shitty.

I'm not talking about the winners, either. I'm talking about the tremendous amount of disrespect given to the winners, especially the "little" people.

Honestly, do the Oscars have some kind of fucking caste system? They let the moronic Robin Williams and Sandler-Rock sketches go on for two minutes, sucking up valuable time when they could be actually presenting the awards. They let Foxx and Swank go into one of the most soppy and insincere speeches I've ever heard at the Oscars for over 5 minutes.

Yet, they can't let, say, the Sound Effects Editors of The Incredibles speak for more than 20 seconds. Honestly, if you're a hard-working sound effects editor who has worked at Skywalker Sound for the last 10 years, and you win an Oscar for working with an integral process of filmmaking to a very well-respected film, you certainly fucking do deserve to thank your dead dad before the orchestra starts blaring out the theme to T2.

And it's not just the shortened speeches too, it's not even allowing the "minor" winners to go on stage. What the fuck is that shit? Are they not monolithic enough to go on stage? Give me a fucking break with that shit.

Whoever had that idea was/is a fucktard.

It showed once again how this award show was "hipped up" to the younger crowd.

Chris Rock, Beyonce, P Diddy, etc. It was all just used because they wanted that one valuable demographic. I didn't mind it at first because i thought it would have been done for all the awards but when I saw it was only for the minor ones I was pissed off. There are people who put a hell of a lot more work into the film than some of the other awards(acting is one). You spend countless tedious hours doing your job and your reward is looking at the back of everybody's fucking heads.

Fuck you Oscar, you worthless pieces of shit. How about you do what you are supposed to do and respect the hard working people in the business, not shun them because the teens and college kids don't want to see it.

I think it was unfair to have the little people kept to the back while the superstars were given all the time and glamour. But in the show's defense, they did try to get Hilary out of there and also Million Dollar Baby's producers out but she wanted to keep going and Eastwood told his coproducer to keep going.

I don't know what that Adam Sandler/Chris Rock thing was about or who thought it up, but it wasn't funny. And Robin Williams will be Robin Williams. I'm thinking that the "little people" should be congratulated and thanked for being the ones who actually kept their speeches short, like they're asked to do. For some reason, the bigger stars think that they should be able to go on and on just because they're on-camera.

WTF?

The sound effects people are lucky enought to get what they got. Nobody cares about them, Were you honestly pulling for someone to win those minor catagories? Don't kid yourself, you wern't.

I've said before that they shouldn't even be a thought when it comes to the oscars. Same goes fo the make-up people and the rest of the shitballs. We only need to see an hour long award show with 5 or 6 awards. The rest shouldn't be given, but if they do, do it off air.

I wasn't exactly itching for it. But that's beside the point. The Oscars should NOT have some stupid caste system like this. Period.

BTW-these "shitballs" are a pretty important process to filmmaking. Imagine a movie without proper sound effects, makeup, editing, etc.

You know how much money goes into the oscars every year? You know what the producers have to do to keep their sponsors? For the past couple of years the academy awards hasn't been the biggest money maker for them either, Jesus Christ appreciate the fact that they keep them fucking going. I understand the arguements, but i've came to the conclusion that you have to make some sacrifices in order to keep the damn thing going. If there is anything to blame, blame the people you go to school and work with (the people that would rather watch White Chicks than Sideways), they are the ones the academy is conforming to.

Yes, shitballs. Jesus, I know films need to have these people to make the film, BUT... They do not deserve an oscar, it's just like a regular job, They are not going to be the ones ridiculed if the movie flops. The actors and directors are.

These SHITBALLS are needed, but shouldn't even be a thought at award shows.

You are un-fucking-believeable.

The Oscars are for awarding the people who work on movies in the most important jobs. You don't understand how vital some of these areas are in film, do you? Costume Designing, Editing, Make-Up, etc. are with people who work just as much as a director or actor. Just because they don't get the blame put on them when a movie bombs or succeeds doesn't mean it doesn't deserve an award. The Oscars are based on excellence not on box office. Check up on that will you?

What would a movie be without editing? Without sound? Without appropriate costumes? It certainly wouldn't make the film better. You should know about the amount of effort these people put into their work and how tedious it is. Try editing, where you have to watch the film repeatedly until it's right. How about score, where it's vital to write music that reflects the scene well and supports it. Sound, where you have to create the effects with what you can. This work requires a fuck of a lot more than just crying and pretending on screen or telling the people what to do. These people are hardly shitballs, you try to do their job for a day and you'll realize that. Your posts prove how we generalize these awards and don't treat them well because they don't have a celebrity status, and that's what you judge them by. "I don't care about this because I don't know anyone nominated." Show some respect.

Applause, applause! I can't believe there are actually people out there who think that those guys don't deserve props. Most of the time when I watch a movie, it's not the acting that makes my jaw drop. It's the technical aspects. These guys and gals work their butts off putting a movie together. It says something when we say the acting sucks but the film still looked and sounded great.

I happen to know quite a bit about film, what does that have to do with my opinion that they DONT DESERVE AN OSCAR!

Sure, they deserve props, its called a bonus. The film does good, give the "little guys" some more cash. The film does bad the "little guys" still get their regular salary and nobody outside of the industry (or pretty much within the industry) will ever know and they'll get another gig.

With schooling ANYBODY CAN DO SOUND! Schooling doesn't make a great actor, sure it helps but how many students out there study acting as an art and actually make it? I'd say less then 5%. How many guys with a degree in communications or something to that effect can land a job doing sound for a movie, commercial, or radio ad? I'd say over 80%.

I know you were sitting on your couch day dreaming while looking at the T.V. during in which these guys got up out of their seat, walked 5 feet into the AISLE. Yeah, the Aisle, and made their lame "artistic" speech. At least the producers almost get the point by putting them in the aisle.

Again, they should cut the show down to an hour, give 4-5 major awards... you konw the ones you actually care about and hear about the next day. And then for the rest of the segments do maybe a tribute, or the lifetime achievment award.

These pee-ons grow up through high school and college and dream about having a decent job, pretty wife, and 2 kids with a white picket fence going over to their buddies houses unoticed. Middle class. They don't go through high school and college, or their 20s hoping and praying and trying their hardest to be recognized in hollywood, much less get an oscar. Why does everybody think you have to stand up for the "little people?" Do you see them standing up for you. "Yeah thanks for the award, i've been waiting 3 weeks for this, i'd like to thank god, my parents and my professor, oh and everybody who colaborated with me." At least every now and then you see the best actor/actress thank the fans.

BTW who are you pulling for easrly this year for best in sound editing? Or which best SHORT have you seen lately. Wait, have you downloaded that new ORIGINAL SCORE yet?

Okay. Not only could I not agree with you less but actually there's another 'minor' job I'd like to see get some recognition.
For some time now I've said an Oscar should be given for an ensemble performance by a whole cast. Not only should all the major players get awards but I'd like to see the Casting Director awarded in the category.

These 'minor' jobs add so much to movies, I don't see how giving awards for people who've done them exceptionally well can be a bad thing. If you don't want to see them given then simply tune in for an Oscar highlights programme rather than the full thing, they tend not to feature the 'shitballs'

Considering how fucking obvious it usualy is on who is going to recieve the main Oscars, seeing who wins the minor oscars is one of te few things i enjoy.

If it were up to me, id not only let them recieve an award on stage, id give them speech time as well.

The Academy Awards aren't about people who saw the movies, it's about the people who made the movies. Just because I may not really have a strong opinion about sound editing doesn't mean they didn't work hard. If the sound editing in The Incredibles was really incredible, then by God he/she/they should get an Oscar. I may not really care, but the person who receives the award does, and they have every right to go onto the stage and make a speech. If the Academy didn't want the holdup, they'd eliminate the category.

When I'm in college and out, I'll want to win an Oscar, be it for direction, sound editing, best animated short, and whatnot. Have you edited before? It's a bitch. It's not like a typical job (or are any of these) where you do just as much so you won't be fired, you try to make it as good as you can.

Sure, you may not need as much training as actors do, but you don't get paid as much as actors do. It's a somewhat fair balance. Calling these people "peons" is basically like yelling at the janitor. If you yell at him, he won't clean your shit up the next day. (Think like the end of Election.

I don't really know where I'm going with this, but talk like that pisses me off about as much as Morgan Freeman's win.

Stop. Whining.

You obviously have a personal grudge against them because they coasted through life. You know what, that's just too bad isn't it. I guess we'll just judge people based on how hard they have gotten through life instead of the quality of their work. Please. It's not a fucking sympathy award show.

You don't need education for some jobs? You don't need education for MOST jobs in Hollywood. Hell, that's why it's a worldwide dream to be famous in Hollywood. It's plausible because pre-requisites aren't needed as much.

Stop assuming things about me also. I wasn't "dreaming" when the people were presenting. I paid attention as I do with the other awards. I don't care if it is minor or major, they all had a hand in making the movie. Plus I like to know something about the person in case I see their name on a movie coming up or if I thought the editing/sound/make-up was great on one of(or more than one)of the films nominated.

Plus, saying that you wanted to see who won the minor awards doesn't make you UNFUN. You're assuming that by caring about the minor awards you should know who is being nominated. Not true at all. Hell, the only awards where you need to know who the people are is in the acting categories. There have been years when I didn't know the director and just rooted for the movie.

You just think that awards should only be noticed because of celebrity status and that is just so fucking wrong. I still cannot believe you would just go "omg i don't care about sound who are these people." With that mentality, you must loathe up and coming actors, writers, and directors since you don't know them.

I don't feel like arguing about degenerate sound editors and fancy shmancy award shows. Maybe i'm just mad because they seems to get worst and worst every year.

Editors, sound designers, makeup artists, etc. all deserve a chance in the spotlight, however brief. A lot of what they do goes to make the "star" look good; without precise editing, we might get a lousy take of a performance, and so on and so on. I think they deserve it.

The thing that pissed me off the most was that they didn't show any of the short live action and short animated clips. I would've liked to seen the work done by the winners and the nominees.

Well, consider this...

How fun is it to watch one of the "bigger" guys go on about nothing at all, cry, weep, blah blah blah?...and half the time, we knew that this person was gonna win.

What's so wrong with giving the "little" person their due. They'd probably be a lot more real and honest with their speach.

Now THAT is fun.

They let Foxx and Swank go into one of the most soppy and insincere speeches I've ever heard at the Oscars for over 5 minutes.

Yet, they can't let, say, the Sound Effects Editors of The Incredibles speak for more than 20 seconds. Honestly, if you're a hard-working sound effects editor who has worked at Skywalker Sound for the last 10 years, and you win an Oscar for working with an integral process of filmmaking to a very well-respected film, you certainly fucking do deserve to thank your dead dad before the orchestra starts blaring out the theme to T2.

And it's not just the shortened speeches too, it's not even allowing the "minor" winners to go on stage. What the fuck is that shit? Are they not monolithic enough to go on stage? Give me a fucking break with that shit.

The sound effects people are lucky enought to get what they got. Nobody cares about them, Were you honestly pulling for someone to win those minor catagories? Don't kid yourself, you wern't.

I've said before that they shouldn't even be a thought when it comes to the oscars. Same goes fo the make-up people and the rest of the shitballs. We only need to see an hour long award show with 5 or 6 awards. The rest shouldn't be given, but if they do, do it off air.


Oh shut up! Man, you are a walking, talking advertisement for contraception.

Aww, thank you. I'm not Lewis Black, certainly not as good, but I'll take any compliments.

I don't feel like arguing about degenerate sound editors and fancy shmancy award shows. Maybe i'm just mad because they seems to get worst and worst every year.

BUT remember, for now: They're still not good enough to be on stage.

The irony of this statement is hilarious now, considering you're a former schmoe.

:D

Not far enough. This so called 'Mr Movie' wants to watch a film that has not had the soundtrack added or the sound effects added or has yet to be edited etc etc if he thinks they do nothing and deserve nothing.
Such people are crucial and actually play a bigger role in a film's success than many non-descript support actors who get to make 5 minute speehes..
Such ,oud mouth arrogance and ignorance!

I agree when they made everyone stand on stage or even come to there seats that was lame.I thought the show itself was boring as hell I almost stopped watchng it there was nothing to it.
