Wow... A STAR IS BORN snub?! — Page 4

It wasn't until 2 or 3 years after she worked with him that the cult sex prisoner stuff came out.

I imagine it was their shared record company that organised the duet to give him some cred back and she had little to do with any decision making.

Mike Tyson is a convicted rapist and a total lunatic and yet Madonna had him all over her last album and in hertour videos."

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Yes to all of that.

And I wouldn’t mention Madonna, something tells me we have a crazy, bitterstan on our hands."

Which is exactly why I brought her up...

Funny for you to say that as you discount the word of countless women of color who have spoken out against Kelly.

And if you don't believe Lifetime several other new organziatios have done very detailed articles on Kelly in the past. Or you can probably still see the video for yourself. And there's no dispute that he married Alyiah when SHE WAS 15.



**edited to add the Mod is right. My apologies for taking this thread way OT."

We know all of this, we are just trying to work out why it is all Lady Gaga's fault?

You guys are about three years late. Madonnna is a cartoon. Nice try though I guess? The whole civility thing was fun while it lasted!

I'm not going to make this a Madonna vs. Lady Gaga battle.

Like I said, the mod was right and I admit this was the wrong threatd to bring this up. This is not just a problem with Lady Gaga. I could be having the same exact discussion about Jay Z, Erykah Badu or many others. So it's not really about Lady Gaga either.

Why was A Star Is Born not in the musical category? Anyway, it made tons of money, so Bradley and Lady are still the toast of Hollywood. The Oscars are shaping up to be a total train wreck this year, so who knows what will happen there.

I thought it was the other way around lol

It could actually come pretty close to doing a billion at the box office which is pretty amazing considering ti only cost 52 million to make."

As I said above, Bohemian was selling out two theaters at my local megaplex (which is usually dead as a doornail). It was wildly popular with the audience. I know people who saw it multiple times. It was that film that everyone was talking about it — at least in middle America where I reside. And while I agree it was far from perfect and had huge factual misrepresentations... it was a celebration of Freddy Mercury and Queen and that alone made it worth the price of admission. God how I miss him.

As for Crazy Rich Asians - that was another predictable sitcom-esque film. I was surprised there wasn't a laugh track with it. Very few funny moments, but lovely scenery. Note to self: Fly Air Singapore.

Remember that the Streisand version of "A Star is Born" swept the Golden Globes and only wound up with four technical Oscar nominations, only winning for Best Song for "Evergreen". The Garland version won two GG's for the two leads and we all know what happened at the Oscars with that film...

The Man that Got Away didn't even win Best Song.

In those days, "It's Hard Out Here For A Pimp" would never have won Best Song.

It won Best Song in 2005.

Am I wrong in believing that you can't accurately call a multi-nominated movie "snubbed"?

Technically, nothing is ever snubbed. It is considered and then not chosen.

Shows without nominations were considered and bypassed, and the same with nominees who don't win.

The HFPA is a joke. A STAR IS BORN looks to lead the Oscar nominations - it's fine.
