It's not just about auditioning and being better; lgbt people have to work twice as hard to even be considered for roles in Hollywood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did read what you said and I do see your point, but I think that they are still nominating and awarding these kinds of films, so they do aknowledge the lgbtq comunity. The only way I would see them as homophobic is if they pay dust to any movie that has a lgbtq background. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they really cared about this issue then they would criticize the more serious issue, which is the homophobic attitude of the film industry. The Oscars are just a side effect of that. But the Oscars aren't a side effect. The oscar nominees are determined by ALL of Hollywood, they are voted on by members of The Academy, which is every actor, director, producer, etc. They aren't just chosen at random. The nominees are people that everyone in the entertainment industry thinks is the best. And they keep rewarding straight people who are portraying lgbt roles instead of rewarding lgbt people in lgbt roles. The oscars aren't a side effect, they are the representation of what Hollywood deems as acceptable. And they don't deem lgbt people as acceptable.

This made me kinda proud tho, that she was picked to be a presenter on the show as an open trans woman and all, even when I don't much like her as a person, she made something good in a close minded country. https://www.wmagazine.com/story/oscars-2018-daniela-vega-presenter-a-fantastic-woman Omg the movie won, I guess that's something?

They are paying dust to movies with lgbt backgrounds. I'm not just talking about gay movies here; They don't nominate lgbt actors for playing straight roles in straight movies either. Also also for example, Call Me By Your Name DOES NOT have a gay background. It is based off a book written by a straight man, the screen adaptation that turned it into a movie was written by a straight man, and it stars two straight men. Please tell me how this movie has a gay background. That is not an acknowledgement of the lgbt community. That is straight people taking lgbt stories, adapting them and then not allowing lgbt actors to portray that story. Not only that, but then these people are rewarded by getting an oscar nomination.

Colton is nooooot a good actor; I’m sorry. The movie would not have been successful with him in it I’m fine with the actors in CMBYN, but we do need more LGBT actors in LGBT and non-LGBT roles. I’m a firm believer in pick who’s best for the role, so for any possible role out there, if that happens to be someone LGBT, they should get the role. Period. #Gaga2020 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy232000 9,145 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 As much as I have remembering, Sam Smith won a couple of years ago, and Call Me By your Name is literally nominated for Best Picture... even if CMBYN is not made by gay people it’s still an LGBT film. If the Oscars were truly homophobic why would they even bother with it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lextyr97 17,617 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I mean it's not entirely the Academy's fault. Maybe there just weren't as many deserving LGBT actors Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
