if they wanted to nominated those 2 films they wouldn't have to replace anything, the Academy reserves the ability to expand the Best Pic category to 10 films
if they want to

You think the RT ratings matter to the Academy? You must be new homie.

She has a point about Will's acting.
If we're being honest, he isn't that good of an actor. We all love him because of nostalgia.
He has his moments, but he's mediocre at best.

Am I the only one who peeped how this raised the buzz for the Oscars to the urban audience (who likely didn't know it was even happening soon) + made people want to see how Chris Rock is gonna address it/if blacks are gonna show up or not?

For Will it depends on the role. He did great in Ali and the pursuit of happiness ( he was nominated for both roles as well). And while his performance in Concussion was really good ( he basically carried the movie by himself) it definitely wasn't his best role.

the RT score just shows what % of the critics gave it a positive ratingSince movies are subjective , I'm going to use to criteria of critics scores as means to prove my argument.
Creed isn't a best picture caliber film. Very good movie, but not in the same discussion as Spotlight or The Revenant.
Straight Out of Compton best picture?
Most will agree.
The Reverent which sits at an aggregate score of 82% approval with critics , it was nominated for best picture, best lead actor , best supporting actor , best cinematography , best director , etc.........
As you can see Straight Outta Compton has an aggregate score of 88% approval with critics. The only nomination is got was for best original screen play.......WTF!!!!!
And lastly Creed sits at a whopping 94% approval with critics. And only got a best supporting actor nod for Sly. Despite the massive critical acclaim it received.
So I ask you , why was neither movie nominated again??
like how many kids in a class passed
if 90% of the kids passed but everyone got a C- it would still show that 90% of the kids passed as the rating
the revenant has a higher average rating than the two movies, which is more telling of how good critics thought the movie was.
straight out of compton does not belong anywhere near best picture
the only real (racial) snub was sam jackson for hateful eight
although you do have an argument for including creed
fwiw, I thought the revenant was extremely overrated but i see why its nominated.

Yes. Just like they are aware of the Grammys. It's one of the top award shows and happens every year. This isn't some obscure crap like Raspberry Award.

again...no one is in the barbershop like "y'all gonna catch the grammys this weekend, adele about to kill it"
nobody really cares about the grammys either unless a big star is confirmed to appear/perform
like they advertised kanye's "return after x amount of years" last year to get ratings
which was the basis of his argument about them using urban artists for ratings but not actually recognizing them with awards
kinda like how they got chris rock hosting because he's entertaining but he probably will never get an award
go get michael fassbender or sylvester stallone or one of them other corny *** ****** to host that **** if we can't get no awards

Light skinned Viv is trash. She always seemed like she was space out on Quaaludes or something.
And
at dark skin Viv being bitter 23 years later

youre wrong about this. if anyone cares about an Oscar is Leo.. he is an actors actor and chose his role carefully to shape his career as being legendary.

Gotta disagree about Creed. Actually it's the best Rocky i've seen since the first one and has more depth than any of the sequels. Thought it was going to be trash but it surprised me.

The Grammys have been recycling their hosts for years. Has nothing to do with getting an urban audiences attention. If that was the case they'd get Kevin Hart not Chris Rock.
And urban audience isn't confined to barbershop talk. You're better off tapping into Black Twitter. And trust me, they are talking about the Oscars.

Coogler should have been nominated for Creed. No question.
I don't think SOC deserves best film, but if critical acclaim doesn't get you a nomination, what does?

Well, it isn't the end all be all obviously. We're not speaking in absolutes. You don't think adding an Oscar or a Grammy to your resume boosts earning power?
