It Happened One Night is a good example. But then that was in the 1930s.Diane Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03754105332297068271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388011374794192178.post-70022337788547171832016-02-29T18:08:40.657-05:002016-02-29T18:08:40.657-05:00LOL After watching last night's show, I agree....LOL After watching last night's show, I agree. I was very disappointed in the "political" message Chris Rock was conveying. To me, an actor is an actor and his or her work should be rewarded. It shouldn't depend on his/her color/race/sexual orientation/religion/whatever. Reward good work.Diane Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03754105332297068271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388011374794192178.post-81674730144348202272016-02-29T18:05:32.117-05:002016-02-29T18:05:32.117-05:00I always say that--next year.

The nominated movies are ones I either never heard of or wouldn't see. Why can't the movies that everyone flocks to the theaters to see during the year be part of the show?Chrys Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955009490266358041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388011374794192178.post-27697866056553360392016-02-29T11:06:56.841-05:002016-02-29T11:06:56.841-05:00I love IMBD too.
