Oscars again lose touch with what film fans want!

Oscars again lose touch with what film fans want!

Apparently the 84th annual academy awards show is again run by stuffy suits who don't get out much but love slow, drawn out, odes to old movies and easy crowd pleasing art, but not actual good acting, major blockbusters, or films that actually do make you think.

2011 was not a banner year for movies, as summer action blockbusters won the day, and there were very few movies in the drama category to choose from. Oscar night is all about the talky dramas. So Oscar went for the limited releases again, and picked the Artist and Tree of Life and Iron Lady.

Surprisingly they did honor Hugo for technical awards, although really they should have given that one best picture too, if they were going to go there, and snubbing Martin Scorsese should be a major offense.

The only reason Meryl Streep won was because they snubbed her two years ago. Ha, well maybe it was a good movie this time around. I didn't see it.

The Oscars have completely blow off Harry Potter for eight years and it just isn't right. That series at least deserves visual effects and music, if anything, and come on, the acting was great! Supporting actor nods at least.

And Hugo wasn't even nominated for best actress, as in Chloe Grace Moretz. Why not? Oscar gave it to Keisha Castle Hughes of Whale Rider a decade ago, so why not? Three part name again even.

Okay so Captain America was technically a sequel and part of something else, so really it didn't stand a chance, but at least how about costumes or set design? Nothing. It was a period piece.

Pretentious drivel like Incredibly Close and The Descendants, really? Meh.

You old Oscar farts need to get out more and see movies. Good movies. Granted 2011 kind of sucked for movies.

The movie that truly got screwed was The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, a thriller horror movie that should have won for best picture, best actor, best actress possibly, and definitely best adapted screenplay. Director David Finsher too!

You had the nerve to just hand that to Midnight in Paris and some other drivel, didn't you?

This will probably guarantee I will not be an Oscar presenter next year.
