I guess lesbian scenes equal an oscar. I heard Black Swan sucked ass.

 		Black Swan was actually an amazing film from a brilliant filmmaker. As are many of the other nominated films. I've never gone in for the shitting on one film just because a film I love got shafted game. That being said, I still say that the entire academy system is broken for Legacy not to have been nominated for visual effects and for DP's score not to be nominated.

 		Many of the academy's voting members have their heads up their asses to dismiss and snub certain movies, and it's moronic for them to not even nominate Tron Legacy for VFX or soundtrack.

They've pulled this crap 28 yrs ago with Tron and Blade Runner, where even though they got a couple nominations, Tron was snubbed from a VFX nominations with the excuse along the lines of "the studio cheated by using computers to make the VFX" which was the most absurd thing.

Nearly every year there are talent actors, actresses and films that should have got nominations but where snubbed by the Oscar academy.

 		What makes me especially annoyed at the Academy is this whole ten best picture nominations stunt that they're pulling. For years people have complained that the academy rarely recognizes truly outstanding movies if they also happen to be main stream successes, and only focusses on art house stuff, so instead of actually addressing the issue they just added five more nomination slots that mean absolutely nothing.

Inception and Toy Story 3 both deserve more than just an afterthought nomination and the whole thing really cheapens what it means to be nominated for Best Picture.

I remember some stupid kid 28 years ago upon seeing Tron saying that ALL movies would be made using computer effects, even whole movies.

Oh wait, I WAS that stupid kid.

I was also right.

So... What was the last movie that was made without using computer effects?

Forget Alice in Wonderland, Hereafter had only one scene that maybe could have been noteworthy from a VFX standpoint and it still got nominated over TRON. Mad
