The Academy is hilarious..

I have to laugh at the Academy sometimes. Black Panther is up for best picture - which is a joke since it has no nominations for acting, directing, cinematography, writing. So if it isn't good at any of these things what exactly makes it best picture material? It wasn't even the best Marvel movie of the year!

Meanwhile Star is Born is nominated for
Best Picture
Best Actor
Best Actress
Best Supporting Actress
Best Cinematography
Best Adapted Screenplay.

Otherwise known as ALL of the major categories - umm what - did it just direct itself?

I am not in the camp that thinks Star is Born is deserving of best picture or director - I have not seen all the others - it's a solid movie but IMO hardly a great movie.

I just think it's kind of dumb if the Academy is saying a film is the best at all these things - that is usually all brought together by the director. I would imagine it more difficult to direct when you also star in the thing.

I would not go out and see a Star is Born because it got nominated - why? If the story doesn't interest you why waste your time?

If it wins best picture - then waste your time. But I have a prediction for you - It won't.
