I am MANcotting the Oscars for snubbing GOD'S OWN COUNTRY and IN A HEARTBEAT
By any objective standard they are the two best movies of the year, not just gay movies. But what do they get in terms of Oscar nominations? Bubkes!
Fuck you, AMPAS. Seriously, fuck you. You have no concept of how gay people really live outside of your extremely small urban bubbles, and you prove yet again you have no idea what makes good movies good and bad movies bad, and doubly so when it comes to gay-themed movies. Even now you still can only give nominations to self-pitying it's-only-okay-to-like-dick-if-you-also-like-pussy nonsense, never mind actual awards.

They also refused to nominate [italic]Beats Per Minute[/italic] for Best Foreign-Language Film. THREE highly rated gay movies snubbed in one year.
Mancott the Oscars.

Didn't CMBYN get Oscar noms?

I think we should focus more on making the protest signs distinctive than outfits. Wear what you want, just stop supporting this bullshit and start standing up for gay filmmakers.

CMBYN is antisemitic misogynistic pedophile propaganda. It deserves nothing, and it proves Hollywood cares more about making gay and Jewish men look like predators than about actually stopping abuse.

I think assless chaps would send a very distinct message, r4. It might even give the show a rating bump!!

Then you can coordinate the sweaters while I work on the protest signs and chants.

Just mancott it. Don't watch the ceremony. If you're in LA, then don't even show up unless it's to protest.

I've not seen the film, R5, so wasn't aware of that. Not all men are gay though, so shouldn't it be gaycott?

"Gaycott" sounds too much like a resort at Disney World. MANcott is a pun on boycott. Lesbians can womancott if they want.

They didn't even send screeners to voters for God's Own Country. Because they knew it had no chance.

R14, you're part of the problem. They snubbed THREE gay films: two about age-appropriate relationships, and one about the early years of AIDS, for a meretricious piece of pederast propaganda. It's their Mein Kampf, basically.

I'm aware it was a pun on boycott, R11, but not all men are gay. I doubt you'll find many straight males will boycott the Oscars over the lack of gay nominees.

It's not the movie's fault if the American distributor is incompetent, R16, especially when it has a 99% RT rating and a BAFTA Award. There is an active conspiracy to keep this film down. Why else would people be FFing threads about it? What are you so afraid of besides raising the bar substantially for subsequent gay films and TV shows?

Why do people care about Hollywood giving awards to itself so much? They declare themselves to be the greatest every year. Why do you give a shit?

Can we just make the costumes secondary to the overall message? They snubbed three superior gay movies and honored an inferior one with overtones of pederasty. That is not okay. That is not something gays should be okay with. In the real world 1983, [italic]Diff'rent Strokes[/italic] was pointing out that gays are not pedophiles in a now-infamous episode where Arnold and Dudley met a bicycle salesman who tried to molest them; the cop corrected Willis when he made that assumption. Gay activists in the 1970s also worked diligently to keep pedos out of the movement. This undermines that, especially now that Kevin Spacey has been disgraced. And the cognitive dissonance is all over the place if Tim is giving his Woody Allen money to #metoo while Armie, like Mia Farrow who is the sister of a convicted child molester and like current Oscar nominee Meryl Streep, is defending Roman Polanski.
They are anti-gay and pro-pedo.

I just watched God's Own Country and it sucked. And the other is a cartoon for pedos.

R42 doesn't know shit when he sees it so he projects the smell of his own farts and his own lack of creativity onto people who actually make movies that are actually gay-themed and have age-appropriate relationships.
