Best Picture
Should Win BlacKkKlansman
Will Win Roma
Did Win Green Book
Well, it's not Roma, at least. But seriously?!
Such a let down.
Star is born should have swept but we have to continually be reminded of racism and “black power” movies
It’s complete bullshit. If Black Panther was White Panther with the same acting etc it wouldn’t have won a single nomination.
Star is Born has incredible music music, screenplay and writing and directing with second to none acting including supporting actors.
It deserved more than one Oscar.
