    I let it slide after Hereditary and Mid90s got NO recognition.

    But now Midsommar, Uncut Gems, AND The Lightouse all get NO Oscar love? Wtf.

    Am I missing something? Coz most of these movies see decent success and are met with near universal praise year in and year out?

    So why does the Academy hate A24?

  • Feb 17, 2020

    If we keeping it a stack the Oscars should really look like A24 featuring A24 every year

    Ahh so A24 doesn’t play the d*** sucking politics games. Makes sense

    Coz I was sitting down watching Parasite yesterday and it’s good but like, it doesn’t have an Uncut Gems ending moment, y’know? It doesn’t have a Willem Defoe monologue! It doesn’t have a cliff suicide scene. Very mediocre albeit well made film imo.

    I believe A24 on the other hand is challenging the bare concepts of filmmaking with every single release

    Ain’t they literally give Moonlight BP?

    Those movies you named would never be the type of movies to get Oscar attention

    Yea but let’s be real Moonlight was the most forced and insincere Oscar win ever. Up there with Leo winning for the revenant.

    Midsommar is so good.

    Best horror movie since The Shining imo. At LEAST since The Conjuring

    Aster is truly a genius at making everyday life seem horrific before he even gets to the traditional horror elements of his films

    I’m sorry but a24 had 3/5 top movies last year it’s clear the industry hates them!

    You naming a lot of horror movies. Horror movies don't get love. They didn't even nominate Lupita or Willem Dafoe when those are two of the most memorable performances last year.

    A24 has had massive Oscar success

  • Feb 17, 2020

    neither midsommar nor uncut gems are "a24 films". wouldn't call lighthouse a "full a24" film either, although they hepled producing it, so they deserve some credit.

    The issue we should all be discussing here is how A24 is quickly turning into the Disney of indie studios.

    WAVES only really could've gotten a nod for cinematography and even then Deakins had it on lock.

    Would've liked to see Sterling K Brown get some recognition but Best Supporting was too stacked
