->Someday, Creator/StevenSpielberg will win his Oscar. This year he was rebuked and snubbed, and so Hollywood will provide the happy ending and give him an Oscar two or three years from now, and people will explain that it is 'really' for ''The Color Purple.''

->DEVASTATING! IN TEARS! Someone is really crying about the fucking Oscar nominations! Now, I am a white dude (this may shock you), and so I am the supposed beneficiary of all this white-male empty-award-show privilege. (Yay, me!) In fact, I'm disappointed ''{{Film/Snowpiercer}}'' didn't get nominated for anything, because that movie is literally white all over...These awards are deeply meaningless. The only reason people in Hollywood give a shit about them is because a) money and b) everyone wants to puff up each other's resume, which means over-inflating the value of an award so that all your colleagues and all the LITTLE PEOPLE you work with (FX artists, costumers, etc.) get their little moment of recognition. Oh, how they crave ''recognition''. As if the sound-effects industry would wither and die if they didn't hand out one forgettable award on national TV every March.\\\
If you're relying on the Oscars to be an accurate barometer of progress—hell, if you're just hoping they dish out awards to movies that aren't fucking terrible—you better be ready for [[LowestCommonDenominator a lot of disappointment in life.]]

That's right, Music/{{NSYNC}}. That's like only giving Pepsi a star on the soda walk of fame.
