Wow these oscars are the biggest let down ever.I believe they would be remembered for the major snubs and their lilly white nature.

The big snub : 
 
The lego movie ( how is it that the funniest , best recieved animated movie both critically and financialy is only nominated for best song? BEST SONG ONLY!!!!) Dude the song is briliant but so was the movie.

Ava Duvernay and the chief cast of Selma : can someone explain how does a film get nominated for Best Picture but the director and the lead actors, script writer dont make it onto the nomination list.Did the film Just create itself?

How is it possible that Gill Flynn is not nominated for best adapted screenplay!!??!?!! The screenplay that gave Rosemary Pike such a great character to bring to live in Gone Girl. The mind just boggles?

How does Bennet Miller get nominated for Best Director and his film not nominated for best film? Was a good director of crappy movie?

Then there's the lilly whiteness ;

Wow i really though Ava Duvernay was at least shoe for a nomination for Best Director.It would have been historic on many level ,first Black female to be up for best director after 12 years a slave truimph last year but the Oscar where on some other tip. Very low on diversity  and by diversity im not askig ''where the black faces on the wall?" There's hispanic, asian ,etc. Some great films and actors have stood up to be counted this year Oscar Isaac, David Oweloyo ,Carmen Ejogo just to mention a few. Wow after last years oscars i was actually hoping for a more diverse pool this year but the white male still rules Hollywood.

Good to hear your opinion Tha-bang - I wondered what you thought while going through them. I fully agree - the lack of diversity S.U.C.K.S. They make out that they're the biggest awards in the world and yet they don't represent the world at all.
