It’s not racist to say that. They nominated it to be more inclusive, which has been that complaint for these last few years. It's definitely a PR move. I honestly don't know if it deserves it or not. Pretty weak year for "Oscar" movies.

i mean it was a good super hero movie. but for example i found dr. strange, deadpool, and the nolan batman trilogy, all more entertaining on a first watch. but it is what it is.

It's a very good Superhero movie.
But Oscar worthy - eh.
My guess is that it goes to Roma or The Favourite. More likely Roma for "diversity" reasons.

Is it just me or does it seem like the Oscar's are trying to appeal to a different crowd this year. A lot of movies are nominated that have received a lot of mainstream success. Many times the best pictures/directors/actors are mainly movies that are a little lower budget artsy and appeal to smaller crowds. I hear Roma is not an easy watch Also I love Vigo Mortenson so I will need to watch Green book asap. A history of violence and eastern promises are great movies

This was the year they were going to introduce a category for 'Best Popular Movie' or something like that, so I'm not surprised to see more mainstream choices.
It's always been a joke, but it's even more so now. These shows have had falling ratings and less general interest over the years. Maybe they're just trying to get a little something something back.
Roma wasn't a difficult watch at all. Maybe if you're rage and you whine about movies in black and white or with English subtitles, but other than that.... It wasn't so plot-centric as most American movies, but it wasn't hard to follow.

The fact that a superhero movie had to get nominated to burnish the inclusivity cred of the academy, indicates a pretty sad state of affairs for American artistic culture.
The best movie I saw this year was Blindspotting.

People get real bent out of shape about the Oscars (or at least they used to) over who gets/doesn't get nominated, who (didn't) deserve to win, etc..
It's just a fucking party the industry throws for itself. Of course internal politics are going to play a role in what's essentially an industry popularity contest. The only difference between itself and Vandelay Industries' top salesperson awards is that the Oscars are more public. Nobody really cares who the top latex salesperson is or if it goes to the President's son in law who didn't really deserve it over someone else who did.

While I agree with that, and I don’t watch the actual show, it typically highlights the best in film every year. I’m always interested in who gets nominated and who wins, but none of it bothers me.

They need a category called "funniest movie" or "best comedy"

I think critics' awards tend to be a more accurate assessment of what was 'best' in the past year, though the don't have the splashy awards presentation so they're not as noticed. They usually don't bother with the occasional undeserved for the current work but given for the overall 'body of work' awards, like Pacino in 'Scent of a Woman.'

The best movie I saw this year was Blindspotting. this is basically what I was thinking. They're pandering to people who dont know any better. Hurt Locker'd once again.

The AFI Top 100 list has a whole bunch of movies that weren't even touched Oscar wise.
It's usually pretty hit or miss but THOSE SCREENERS DAWGGGGG
