No sci-fi film has ever won Best Picture.

There's definitely a bias in the Academy, and it has absolutely nothing to do with not having enough black people nominated for acting awards.

I enjoyed it, but I'd say it was a little too much of a "chick flick" to win. My boyfriend, who likes sci-fi, fell asleep in the middle of it.

People watch the Oscars?

Does Farhadi or his surrogate, Anousheh Ansari, have the courage to speak out and criticize the Iranian government, while standing on Iranian soil?

I do not think so.

Well the statement did reference the fact that citizens of the banned countries were denied human rights and democracy. Not to mention he is neither responsible for the acts of his government nor required to address them. He is, however, free to express his thoughts on American policies that affect him and his loved ones. Also, the fact that he doesn't feel free to express his views on the Iranian government only bolsters his statement.

After the numerous slights against the President of the United States, opining on matters about which they know nothing, how fitting the dysfunctional bigots in Hollywood fell flat on its face when it came to announcing the most important Oscar of the night - Best Picture. How could they be so stupid not able to read cute cards, and most importantly for not knowing that a black movie had to win?

Someone made a mistake and an old man didn't respond properly. Oh, and the 'black movie' was phenomenal.

Nice to see that they are all now part of the dustbin of Hollywood history. Bravo.

Who won "Best Muslim?" Surely, Hollywood added that category.

No, they didn't, though a muslim did win an acting oscar for the first time. I don't think it was even mentioned in the broadcast or by the actor himself.

My comments in bold.

I sure as hell didn't. And I'm already tired of hearing about it.

To "Scarlett Johansson's boytoy [sic]":

You could have left off the sentence, and it would have been a good post.

Help "Scarlett Johansson's boytoy [sic]" known by the nom de guerre mikeyis4dcats with sentence structure by sending him or her a PM.

Thanks in advance and God Bless

Sure....mistakes happen.

That is one example, but there was at least another apparently...maybe the academy should consider hiring a different production company....

LOS ANGELES—Bringing the entire audience to their feet in thunderous applause, a large mirror wheeled onto the stage Sunday evening at the 89th Academy Awards ceremony reportedly received a resounding six-minute-long standing ovation. “Bravo! Bravo! Marvelous!” actor Kevin Spacey was overheard yelling over hundreds of cheering actors, directors, and producers as the 20-foot-long mirror was carefully positioned directly in front of the Dolby Theatre auditorium, the ovation only growing louder the longer it remained onstage. “Simply incredible! We love you!” At press time, the crowd had resumed their seats immediately after the mirror was taken offstage, and Best Foreign Language Film award presenter Gael García Bernal was introduced to a smattering of polite applause.
