An “inclusion rider” is a clause that an actor can insist be inserted in their contract that requires cast and crew on a film to meet a certain level of diversity.

- ya cunt!utopian
- What the fuck are you talking about pony?monospaced
- we're still looking into that reference he made. no luck. also I have no idea wtf is wrong with The Pianist getting an oscarsted
- Wow... you need help here? Roman raped a 13 year old girl... can't come back to the States. Now that 'everyone' is 'woke'... where's the "FUCK ROMAN!" outcry?PonyBoy
- sted... Roman got the Oscar for best Director for The Pianst... and was cheered and applauded like crazy... but couldn't be there to accept. :( Fuck Roman?PonyBoy
- Nothing wrong w/the movie... loved the film... but if you can't see the hypocrisy from Hollywood on this entire subject matter then you're blind. x_xPonyBoy
- I know who he is, i just don't get what this has to do with Emma Watson...sted
- ... the shit on her arm... the 'movement' ffsPonyBoy

- Do you understand what the word ‘hypocrite’ means, mono? Just curious.. cuz if you can’t make the connection then I’m guessing you don’t?PonyBoy

- Who’s a hypocrite? Be extremely specific.monospaced
- Because I don’t see how this photo is triggering you about some pedophile. The nerve to go after me is just insanity.monospaced
- ffs—HOLLYWOOD is full of hypocrites—I never once mentioned you as a hypocrite. I'm however confused how you're incapable of connecting a pedo to this movement.PonyBoy
- And let's be clear... I have no room in these notes so I PICK ONE LOSER—POLANSKI. I could start w/Kobi and ask how the fuck HE got an Oscar...PonyBoy
- ... even though he's a #metoo candidate. I was merely pointing out what HYPOCRITES Hollywood has a top their show and how the fuck they pick...PonyBoy
- ... and choose which actors / celebs get a pass and which ones don't. Polanski / Kobi... yay! Meanwhile not one of the 5 Female Best Actor Nominees...PonyBoy
- ... would give Ryan Seacrest the time of day. Again... MONOSPACED... I'm not calling you a hypocrite (idiot)... I'm not even talking about you, ffs.PonyBoy

When is Christopher Nolan going to get a best director award? Like come on already. MUST be due.
- not a fan of DunkirkRamanisky2
- Nor I.mugwart
- I thought it was ace. Way tighter than anything he's done. Good spin on the war filmDaveO
- Dunkirk was dopemoldero
- Sort of crazy you don’t see one drop of blood in the whole movie.BH26
- Sorry, I just could not get passed the smiling guy ready to get bombed. Film needed more lens flare.utopian
- loved Dunkirk. Nolan will have his day.inteliboy

- maybe it's all part of a new Key & Peele skit/movie mocking the Oscars?Krassy
- I remember when Oscars where exciting, a big event. Haven't watched in years. But maybe because I lost all interest in movies. Also hate all super-hero movies.M01XXX

- I've never ever watch Oscar live... Or even finished the entire show. All anyone cares about is who won.pango
- my dumbass mother-in-law complained "I didn't like the dresses this year, usually they do them better."monospaced
- lol mono, that does pretty much sum up the Oscars though.fadein11
- I don't know what the fuck her thought process was. Is she thinking the Academy has anything to do with the wardrobes? ffsmonospaced
- nice way to speak about your inlaws, dude... lolPonyBoy
- of all the things people say and admit on this site, and that's the one that gets you? lolmonospaced

I have no clue how there are 'no similarities' between this, let alone that the Academy would give a possibly plagiarized piece the best picture award.
Then again they gave a rapist an award first thing of the evening, so whatever.

I really liked Shape Of Water. It felt very different to the usual films I watch. Not ground breaking but sweet and fantastical and the story was fairly predictable so probably why it didn't win best screenplay. Maybe it didn't deserve so many oscars but I can't be mad at it for doing so.
- in the age when a man cant save a dog without being raciest yet an entire film can lift and steal from someone else and get an award.mugwart
- Dunno what you're on about mate.Hayzilla
- Stealing ideas really get my goat ;-)
As probably noted by my comments on this page!mugwart - it was like free willy, but she has sex with himsarahfailin
- mugwart-4
Slight rant but why/how in the name of fuck did Shape of Water win even single award? Directing was dire and dull, set design was yawn. Acting apart from (stella Michael Shannon and Richard Jenkins) was uneventful.
Above all the writing was dribble, it was pure stereotyping, women this, gay people are this, white man is this, black man that.
I was able to predict the entire film from the first opening minutes...These awards should have gone to better films. It was a bad rip off of Amélie.
- ffs it's hollywood - what the hell do you expect?hans_glib
- ^ better! I know I know. Been in film VFX for way to long and still I have hope!mugwart
- my high school buddy did the production design on thatGnash
- shame on him then ;-)mugwart
- I haven't seen it yet -- was it that bad?Gnash
- the production company (not the technicians) made a mediocre film at best. Cause it was PC it was applauded not questionedmugwart
- hm, I didn't realize that there was any PC buzz about it.Gnash
- nor I. I went in really looking forward to this (love monster/ strange films) but through the first 5 mins I know every event film. Only one scene surprise me.mugwart
- It’s a great film. Don’t listen to this one angry rant.monospaced
- VFX on the creature was incredible.mugwart
- +1 mono
del Toro’s work was brilliant & deserved- though I wish he gave cred to the Islamis poet’s quote used @ the end. But I digress.notype - PC? It's a fairy tale ffs. The entire film hangs on her deafness. GdT brings beauty to the most banal, every-day, things.face_melter
- The acting was incredibly powerful, and the script was original. Any parts that seemed derivative were absolutely intentional and necessary for the story.monospaced
- Visually and thematically rich, it was so much more than a fairytale. It was a story of love, loss and regret. It stuck with me more than most films.monospaced
- @notype, I don’t remember the quote but I’m sure he was credited in the credits at leastmonospaced
- really not angry at all.
Just my opinion. Acting was great on the two actors I mentioned. Rest really was obvious and very very fake.mugwart - @face, I've studied fairy fales and they are anything but PC. What we have had in the past 100 years are not "real" fairy tales.mugwart
- Also there was no reasoning in the film. Almost no reason to fall in love. (I'm actually really happy as we won for 2049.)mugwart
- I'm not the only one https://www.telegrap…mugwart
- with all due respect, if you don't understand why they fell in love, then you pretty much missed the entire point of the movie, to its coremonospaced
- which is no surprise why you didn't like it ... you failed to understand it entirelymonospaced
- No No I get it was a love story and that they were to be together. I'm 110% down with that. It was the direction "engine" (if you will) that failed memugwart
- It wasn't organic. Say Ameile, you fell for the characters it was organic. This film was you being told you had to feel in a certain way. They used PC plot ...mugwart
- traps/devices for you to manipulate you in a certain way.mugwart
- Its my grip with modern films. Your conducted as much as the film extras.
Take Shawshank Redemption, you felt the characters, you felt their emotions.mugwart - Here you have a someone with an egg and a portable music player for like 1 minute.mugwart
- If I had to review this in a sentence, "Its a film that is pieced together without heart from films that do have a lot of heart"mugwart
- well, it turns out a lot of people connected with the characters in The Shape of Water, felt them, felt their emotions ... I sure didmonospaced
- ;-) Not a complete fail then ;-)mugwart
- lol ... it was all #winning ;)monospaced
- it played up stereotypes of an implied era all around it's about being different and finding love... if you can't relate, well...ben_

- what does gun control have to do with armed officers?inteliboy
- Last happy photo of Spacey yet to be takenmugwart
- oh, this pic was last year?Gnash
- 2 years ago, maybe 3Bennn
- If there was gun control they wouldnt need the armed officerserr
- Spacey at the back LOL. Grabbing Pitts ass.Hayzilla
- 500 trained armed officers. It’s not like they gave bonuses to 20% of the actors who wanted to arm themselves.fooler
- utopian1
Wins an Oscar for talking about himself in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd person. What a self righteous narcissistic megalomaniac.
- Is that the final animation or sketches?bainbridge
