Thx. Don't have Apple TV. I just signed up yorkster Mar 11 #33

I never regretted signing up for Apple TV PatSeg Mar 11 #37

Can't disagree more Johnny2X2X Mar 11 #8

Agree - Killers of the Flower Moon was important but yawn points Mar 11 #13

It was just far too long for that kind of story - 3 hours and 26 minutes - that's like "Ben-Hur" length for a far less Midwestern Democrat Mar 11 #19

I've heard a lot of people say that PatSeg Mar 11 #28

Best movies I've seen in decades Oppaloopa Mar 11 #51

Same here PatSeg Mar 11 #59

You and I are on teh same page. Happy Hoosier Mar 11 #17

It's best actress rather than best representation Sympthsical Mar 11 #10

And without Stone, Poor Things doesn't work Johnny2X2X Mar 11 #14

Then don't comment. LisaM Mar 11 #32

Like the saying goes opinions are like... littlemissmartypants Mar 11 #53

I don't understand why people post just to say they don't care about the topic of the thread. Ocelot II Mar 11 #36

The point is that it's not much to worry about. The decisions were almost entirely insignifant to what's happening Goodheart Mar 11 #39

I don't think anyone believes the Oscars are as important as other events, Ocelot II Mar 11 #42

I wouldn't have posted the same on the DU Lounge, where this thread belongs. Goodheart Mar 11 #44

That is not where it belongs. NoRethugFriends Mar 11 #81

Me either. Attention seeking behavior, repping the misunderstood contrarian? littlemissmartypants Mar 11 #55

Why bother to post it? To show you're above it? NoRethugFriends Mar 11 #77

My apologies if I offended you. calguy Mar 11 #79

Poor Things has full frontal male nudity, lots of screwing, and a Croney Mar 11 #60

The Academy Awards are entirely an awards show for and by the INDUSTRY. WarGamer Mar 11 #71

Gladstone could have been nominated for best supporting actress maxsolomon Mar 11 #72

Maybe there should be a cap on white winners each year. BannonsLiver Mar 11 #76

So people should not choose what they think was best? NoRethugFriends Mar 11 #78

Thanks to KODI, CinemaHD, and Real-Debrid Barry Markson Mar 11 #86

Is that because you felt like the movies were too white this year or was it the subject matter? BannonsLiver Mar 11 #87

Emma Stone absolutely won her Oscar. Nixie Mar 11 #85
