WOAH I had no idea Steve McQueen was black. As a black man I've got to say I'm proud of him. Good to see somebody other than Tyler Perry getting their movies made.

@TWill800 He's from england, it's not exactly the same ballpark.

The Academy has been a joke since I was in my teens. That's why everyone is turning to film festivals (Cannes, venice, Tribeca) for true celebration of cinematic art. Thats why some of the best cinema such as spanis (almodovar), Iranian (kiarostami) and Japanese (Kurusawa) cinema is known amongst movie buffs and cinema students but largely ignored by mainstream America.

@thechoosendude Agreed. The Academy ignored Fassbender and Gosling. Russell Crowe even stated that the Academy is bullshit for ignoring Ryan this year.

@jckfmsincty Brad is decent, but seems stoned most of the time. I don't get Clooney's appeal at all. He is fine behind the camera. Leo is terribly overrated. In fact, I can't stand the twerp.

Michael Fassbender and Ryan Gosling are the future in film.

@TWill800 Alot of people think his is the white actor from the 60s lol. You should see his first feature, Hunger. It will bring you to the brink of tears. His art work is great as well.

@jckfmsincty and is less smug.

Michael Fassbender makes George Clooney and Brad Pitt look like last week's mashed potatoes.

@thechoosendude Too right mate!! This movie has stayed with me very day for a month now! As for the oscars, I wouldn't worry about them...they've always celebrated mediocrity. (well in the last decade or so more often tan not). They don't reward risk! They reward movies that give people what they want, movies that are well executed but ultimately hollow. Apart from 'no country' has there been an oscar winnin movie that people can honestly say is their favourite ever in the last decade??
