Quotes
Himself - Winner: Best Actor in a Supporting Role:
Thanks. Okay. Run that clock, Jimmy. I want to get that ski jet, or whatever that was. I'd like to thank the Academy-never thought I'd say those words. Willem Dafoe, Richard Jenkins, Christopher Plummer, Woody Harrelson: You guys rock! You inspire me, and you always have. When I was eight years old I was called into the principal's office. And my father was looking very solemn, and he said, "We gotta go. It's Grandma." And we got in the car and I said, "What's wrong with Grandma?" And he said, ...

I hope that I am wrong, I have seen thousands of movies and shows and have been spoken to many friends who like myself are movie lovers and they also have the same opinion. But still I hope we are all wrong and those people at the Academy are right!
This was officially the worst academy awards so far and will probably keep its shameful place for a long time.
Not only in the matter of holding the ceremony but also considering piking up too many worthless movies and unfair nomination process it is a whole new level of disappointment. I constantly ask myself what do they think to themselves when they make this historic decisions so neglectfully and recklessly? I mean just think about it! Some years later people will watch 2017 Oscar nominees and asks themselves was that the best they could do? and maybe one of them watch another movie and as an example see Kate Winslet's brilliant performance in Wonder Wheel and wonders why she has not been even nominated? I know that Woody Allen is not very popular this days but whatever it is, should that affect the performance of a brilliant actress like Winslet? I am not saying that is certainly the reason behind that she has not been nominated but it is actually a desperate effort to find out why! Meryl Streep at the other hand is a pain in the A too. I adore her performance in many movies and shows, specially she was magnificent in Sophie's Choice but for god's sake would you stop this nonsense of piking her up no matter how she has been acting? And was that truly the best picture? Really?
I can't give any specific accusation like political propaganda, race or gender issues but I can certainly say this is not a fare appreciation of art!
