AM I RACIST? SNUBBED BY THE ACADEMY AWARDS | Film Threat News

[@weirdguy564]

This movie will NEVER be honored by Hollywood. None of them will vote for it.

[@Attmay]

Then they will be held legally accountable for their anti-conservative bigotry. It's time to start treating all opposition to the right as bigotry because at this point that's what it is.

[@ta0paipai]

We are witnessing the sequel in real time, “Am I Biased?”

[@dkgong]

Ironic that 'Super Size Me', which was based on a lie, got an Oscar nom, but 'Am I Racist?', which exposes the truth, got snubbed.

[@Veteran_Nerd]

yup!

[@Ontonaut]

What was the Supersize Me lie?

[@007Thanos007]

​​@@Ontonaut He supposedly did things with his diet to make himself gain more weight than he actually would have if he had been on a McDonald's diet. One of the rumors was that he was taking additional nutritional supplements between his meals. Over the course of the years since that doc came out, several people duplicated his McDonald's diet, and actually *lost* weight. EDIT: There was also the issue of his alcoholism that added fuel to The fire, and according to others who have criticized him, he wouldn't release his daily diet logs -if he even had any.

[@Attmay]

@@grandmoffpuppeteerso he was projecting his alcoholism onto the foodservice industry and those who work for it.

I no longer pay attention to Academy Awards or even Rotten Tomatos now that it's clearly biased.

[@Attmay]

They didn't just jump the shark, they jumped the entire *Jaws* franchise. Banning Will Smith and then going on to honor yt degenerates was the last straw.

Am I racist might have been considered if it didn't make bad faith arguments against the very idea of racial Justice and those who seek it. Not just the grifters who exploit it.

[@TheColonelKlink]

Why would racist Hollywood not be OK with this movie?

[@willie_the_monkey_king]

I disagree with Mr. Gore no movie deserves to be nominated. Should it be nominated? Probably since it was the highest grossing documentary this year. However no movie deserves to be nominated. It’s just a stupid award show picked by elitists. It doesn’t matter.

[@Ross-y8c]

I just didn’t think Matt Walsh was anywhere near funny enough to pull off this film.

[@Ontonaut]

I found it to be mildly amusing, but was expecting more after hearing all of these critics call it “hilarious”. I laughed out loud once. When he interrupted the interview subject to correct her on the definition of mansplaining. Otherwise, it was just fine

[@AscendantStoic]

Maybe he should make a movie about Hollywood and their special "parties" 😅

[@lance134679]

Call it "What's in this baby oil?"

[@AscendantStoic]

@lance134679 Baby Oilgate! 🤪

[@lanemyer774]

it's been made already. It's called "Eyes Wide Shut"

[@TRMartin]

they would never nominate it, can't allow the Daily Wire to advertise; "Academy Award nominated - Am I Racist"..

[@n0ahg1]

Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the most corrupt awards ceremony of all?

[@pseudonym9215]

Come on, i am all about pushing back on left narratives but this movie was just alright. I could have been 100 times more funnier if some truly funny guy was playing the Matt Walsh role.

[@JohnnyWordSmith]

This is why American Fiction is a refreshing movie.

[@darthcalanil5333]

Honestly I would have been surprised if they acknowledged it

[@markb234]

Kudos to Chris and Alan and all of “Film Threat” for giving movies like this a chance!!

[@thebrentrobinsonshow2882]

You know Hollywood has to play both sides of the fence.

[@BucketOfMarbles]

We need the Oscars, but not because their opinions mean anything

[@JayPadrig]

Acolyte2 will sweep the next awards cycle

[@Veteran_Nerd]

The race grift should be called out loudly and regularly.

[@johndurham6172]

I remember when if your documentary was about the Holocaust, it was sure to be nominated.

[@Wired4Life2]

I stopped caring about the Best Documentary Feature Oscar once the Academy’s Documentary branch snubbed Todd Douglas Miller’s _Apollo 11,_ just to remove the main populist obstacle to the Obama executive-produced _American Factory_ winning. >_

[@Attmay]

There needs to be a congressional investigation of every Hollywood award ceremony, and go after the Tonys, too, while you're at it.

[@rpalmer3393]

0:40 matt walsh is many things, humble is not one of them

[@winstonsmith8107]

The problem, i would assume, is how would you show clips of the movie when they are announcing the nomination. Plus off cource the bias to the movie too.

[@robbiecrawford9325]

We are owed a legitimate answer for why....

[@mr.whisper3338]

You can't win big when the game is rigged against you. I'm sure Matt Walsh knew he wouldn't get nominated.

[@take2369]

I have a feeling he knew it wasn't going to happen so that he could say see the academy is bias, these were the ones that did get nominated and they were against 169 other films. “The Bibi Files” “Black Box Diaries” “Dahomey” “Daughters” “Eno” “Frida” “Hollywoodgate” “No Other Land” “Porcelain War” “Queendom” “The Remarkable Life of Ibelin” “Soundtrack to a Coup d’Etat” “Sugarcane” “Union” “Will & Harper” I'll be honest if the film had done more with the documentary aspect since the comedy could work or just be alright or had released the film perhaps later close into award season maybe it would have a shot.

[@Dc-alpha]

Oscars, don't care. If we are saying one narrow minded lack of thought diversity group "owns" art. And that's just something to be accepted, that needs fixed.

[@Vajrubaj]

2024, if you can't think about another media outlet which is politically agnostic...this crazy,but it's so painfully real.

[@mr.w9222]

How hard would it be for moderates/conservatives with platforms to organize an alternative awards presentation for cinema that recognizes any film for artistic merit? Obviously, this would not actually rival the attention the Oscars receive (at least not at first), but it would hold actual weight because it could actually be more inclusive than the so-called inclusive powers-that-be in Hollywood. No more whining about being excluded from Hollywood award shows. Just make your own. Please.

[@LycanVisuals]

Not exactly shocking considering their previous shitty films. On the bright side they take that money from their first wide release and use that towards their next project.

[@darthcalanil5333]

I'm not sure how previous Films would affect the considerations for a current film.

[@jimbokilo]

Seen it, thought it was amusing, but not that great.

[@simonb4689]

Shocking news.

It could've been trimmed down some. There were a few parts where I actually laughed out loud though.

[@deanbean317]

What movie did I see? Funniest movie of the year? I thought it was almost solid cringe and I am a staunch conservative! It was like a low rent version of Jackass. I thought Matt Walsh was more annoying than enlightening. I just don't get it. Just because something falls in line with my political leanings, I'm not going to piss myself extolling its virtues if it has no virtues.

[@Dark_pro502]

I assumed it was a Left wing movie. Literally 99% of its runtime is dedicated to letting DEI experts mouth off on their ideology. Even Matt Walsh himself pushes DEI for 99% of its runtime.

I grew up in small town America in a family of reagan Republicans. Pretty much everybody i knew was racist. Most friends, pretty much all my family. If i sit in a bar, i hear racist stuff said by strangers cause i pretty much fit in. This is the first ive heard of this movie. Ill check it out. Edit: in terms of politics, i haven't voted in like 30 years. Don't really care about politics.

[@mablesfatalfable6021]

Everyone is racist to some extent, it just depends on how well developed their pattern recognition skills are.

[@darthlaurel]

I grew up in a small town, too. Almost never heard anyone say anything racist although some of the black military kids were dangerous to be around if you were white. I heard the Hispanic gangs could be rough but never saw it. Everyone tried to act with respect for others. I had black, Hispanic, and jewish friends. Mostly people got along.

[@MalabarTheGreat]

Unsurprising. The movie kinda sucked, especially compared to its predecessor. It was overwhelmingly scripted, and they tried to convince us that it wasn't.

[@mablesfatalfable6021]

Yeah but that's irrelevant since it grossed much higher than any other documentary, even if it just the best polished turd of the bunch it still deserves the nomination.

[@MalabarTheGreat]

@@mablesfatalfable6021 Its hardly a documentary. It was more of a clown-show, than anything else. I would consider it a mockumentary, if anything.

[@Dc-alpha]

It's nowhere near what is a woman, scripted...... if asking a bunch of people leading questions. Then letting them reply is scripted we need more of it.

[@MacSmithVideo]

[@loboneiner1034]

I don't like Matt Walsh because some of his takes on gamers are ridiculously outdated. That being said, I also don't like Hollywood and the Academy Awards. So I guess I just don't care about this situation.

[@daytwaqua]

I have to assume Chris and Alan aren't all that familiar with Matt Walsh, and what he's all about. I haven't seen "Am I Racist", but it appears as though it might have been beneficial against the woke insanity of recent years. Knowing of Matt Walsh, and his Daily Wire handlers, any positivity in that area was purely accidental. Matt Walsh, along with pretty much everyone associated with the Daily Wire, is a slimy and disingenuous grifter, and without any genuinely held convictions. I'm at least right-leaning, so my opinions align with their espoused beliefs fairly closely, but the only thing that group seems to genuinely hold dear is money. They're certainly very successful over there at the Daily Wire, as they're quite adept at separating overly credulous boomers from their money, but I don't believe they really care about anything all that much. Well, there's some fairly strong evidence for what Shapiro and Boring hold most dear, but it's not American culture, or even America really, at least not primarily. Chris Gore seems genuine in his belief and convictions, so I have no real doubt that he's expressing what he truly believes here, but I hope he finds out a little bit more about Matt Walsh and the Daily Wire, and realizes that anything good they do against the woke nonsense is purely coincidental.

[@OmegaPaladin144]

Present some evidence. I've hear stories about some drama, but I doubt they would go into that niche just for the money LOL.

[@daytwaqua]

@@OmegaPaladin144 "That's niche"? You consider older conservatives with plenty of disposable income to be a niche market, one not worth exploiting?

[@OmegaPaladin144]

I asked for proof, and I am still waiting on it. Is there an expose video or article you are sourcing? @@daytwaqua Yes, compared with foundations, NGOs & academia. I suppose it would be an option since it is often under-served, but nothing beats grant money.
