Oprah Winfrey, evem with all her money, race hustling, and sucking up to Michelle Obama wasn’t enough to get an Oscar nomination. Also snubbed were Tom Hanks, Robert Redford (who I didn’t even know was still alive) and Emma Thompson. Now how long before the racial grievance industry CEOs Sharpton and Jackson start yelling racism for Oprah’s Oscar snub?
Shock: Oprah, Tom Hanks, Robert Redford were all shut out of this year’s Oscars.
The nine Best Picture nominees are American Hustle, Captain Phillips, Dallas Buyers Club, Gravity, Her, Nebraska, Philomena, 12 Years a Slave, and Wolf of Wall Street. Only nine, not 10, films received nominations.Also snubbed: Emma Thompson and “Saving Mr. Banks” are totally out.
Biggest surprise: Of all Harvey Weinstein’s possible entries, “Philomena” turned out to be his dark horse winner. “August Osage County” pulled two acting noms. And The Weinstein Company has two documentary nomineees.
Completely stopped and I’m not surprised: Robert Redford and “All is Lost.” Sadly I knew this. Roadside Attractions should be called Roadkill. What a mess. Redford was the best actor of the year.
