      Didn't this win an oscar?
      Also, basically all Oscar bait are failures since all oscar bait is pure shit
      The real questions should be are there any oscar baits that are actually good?

        The problem here is calling every single movie that wins an Oscar or is a serious drama "Oscar bait", which is far too broad and reductive. Oscar bait is supposed to refer to a specific set of identifiers of a type of film. Not just every single movie that isn't an action film or a kids film.
        The most stereotypical, Weinstein Company/Miramax level of aiming at Oscars to put on your resume and push a major campaign on the voters will have some majority of

        >Period setting
        >Actor playing a character or real life person with a physical disability or mental illness, or some distinguishing gimmick like being made to look ugly, or be gay, etc
        >Weepy drama with loud acting moments
        >Dealing broadly with some topic like racism or abuse or sexism
        >The Holocaust
        >Released in last two months of the year

            NCFOM might be downright anti-Oscar bait in fact. It's a miracle it won.

              It was a make-up win for the academy snubbing Fargo

                Anonymous

                Which in turn led to There Will Be Blood being snubbed but The Master was anti-scientologist and too many oscar voters are scientologists. And then Inherent Vice was a stoner comedy that could never win best picture. And then Phantom Thread had a controversial ending and the academy wanted to give an oscar to Del Taco for making a film about a woman who fricks a fish. And then they obviously weren't going to give it to PTA for making a coming of age teen comedy about a teenager who falls in love with a 25 yo mess.
                And now they've probably forgotten that they owe him an oscar anyway

            I tend to not care for biopics unless they are doing something interesting with the subject, too many are just template with a different wikipedia page being used. It's hard to actually capture a long career or life so I like when they take an original approach more about the feeling than the broad events catalogued.

          King's Speech was incredibly generic but I guess that fits as being decent since it wasn't horrible but certainly wasn't good

        That was definitely one of those "thanks for being a big name for a long time and stuff" career awards right? It was like nothing, the King Richard role. It didn't really call for a particularly distinct performance and I can't say as I saw him as Richard Williams, just Will Smith.

                Picture this: it's a busy office setting with people buzzing around, typing on their computers, and talking on the phone. The Black person is sitting at his desk with a puzzled expression on his face.

                Now, in the background, you can see a whiteboard with some complex equations written on it. The Black person, with his signature absent-mindedness, starts staring at the board intently, trying to make sense of it all. He's squinting, scratching his head, and occasionally pointing at random numbers and symbols.

                Here's where it gets really funny. His colleague, who is known for being a bit of a smarty-pants, walks by and notices the Black person's struggle. They stop, and the smarty-pants colleague decides to have a little fun. With a straight face, they ask the Black person, "Hey, what are you working on there?"

                The Black person, still completely lost in the sea of equations, looks up and replies, "Oh, I'm just trying to figure out the meaning of life." He says it so confidently, as if solving the meaning of life is a normal task to undertake during office hours.

                The smarty-pants colleague can't help but chuckle, clearly thinking, "Wow, this guy really doesn't have a clue." They play along and say, "Good luck with that! Let me know if you crack the code."

                The Black person nods, still completely oblivious to the fact that his response was a bit unconventional. The camera zooms out, showing the contrast between the busy and serious atmosphere of the office and the Black person's hilarious attempt at tackling life's biggest questions.

                It's a light-hearted moment that captures the essence of the Black person's character, showcasing his endearing naivety and adding a touch of comedy to the film. You can't help but laugh at his obliviousness, but at the same time, you can't help but root for him.

      You’re moronic, but so is that movie. Such obvious nonsense. I remember watching this in school and the one girl is all, “since when is Persian Arab?!” and I go, “since 1970, when Islamic rebels took over the embassy in Iran. Don’t play coy and pretend that your specific regional origin is the problem and not your barbaric religion”
      The teacher wasn’t thrilled but appreciated I knew history.

      I think that one is really good, and one of Eastwood's best films after the 2000s. It makes a really good job portraying the basis of american ethos, but a lot of moronic libs mistook it for "militar propaganda" just for having the main character enlisting in the marines (eventhough in the film it's obviously a bad thing and just lefts him braindamaged). Of course it was islamophobic but what were they expecting? It's fricking Clint Eastwood, he's still a moronic republican

                Yeah no. Most importantly at no point in the movie does the war get questioned. Let alone wars in general. Or even the topic of when and why to fight gets opened. This is military porn and the ptsd subplot is just to vindicate soldiers after the war itself was shown to be futile.
                And I'm pretty sure the army rejected his claim for the shot distance.

    Can you blame them? Americans live so rent free in their heads that one single patriotic movie sends them into a rage.

      The fact is that american sniper is not even a patriotic movie.I'm not from the US and I can clearly see the critique of how believing on such moronic principles leads them to fight in a stupid war that only benefits a few millionaries while they end up with severe mental illness

        The real fact is that the movie isn't even relevant to the thread. It was not failed Oscar bait. And he probably just saw it recently, needed to vent that he saw Americans in a movie he didn't like, and picked the first thread he saw. That, or his grasp of the English language is so poor that he didn't even realize that he picked a movie that didn't fit the OP.

    Would a movie that’s nominated for a shit ton of Oscars only to be shut out count as failed Oscar bait?

    Stuff like American Hustle, The Color Purple, The Irishman, The Turning Point, etc?

      The King's Speech is actually really comfy.
      Spencer was alright. Kinda bland and empty, but it definitely had its moments. I suppose it felt pretty pointless but whatever.
      The Queen was alright. Worth a watch.

        homies want to be famous just like the other Black folk they see on TV (ex. Jay Z, Lebron James).

        It was a title issue
        >The film's title was up for a possible rename due to a Motion Picture Association claim from Warner Bros., which had inherited from the defunct Lubin Company a now-lost 1916 silent short film with the same name. The case was subsequently resolved with the MPAA granting The Weinstein Company permission to add Lee Daniels in front of the title, under the condition that his name was "75% the size of The Butler". On July 23, 2013, the distributor unveiled a revised poster, displaying the title as Lee Daniels' The Butler.

      This movie was so bad. And so was Big Short. It's really off putting how much the director sucks his own wiener.

        I think it's hilarious how the academy jerks him off because he went from making dumb Will Ferrell comedies to political Oscar bait. In fact I find it funny how silly genre films that 10 years ago would justifiably be ignored by the Academy are now propped up as masterpieces if they check the right boxes (i.e. any political comedy from McKay, "Get Out", etc.)

        Frick, even "Don't Look Up" got a Best Pic and Screenplay noms despite not being well-received. It makes one wonder how many dicks McKay's sucked during his time in Hollywood.

        nope, great film. i too believed the chuds saying it was bad, until i watched it for myself and realized the chuds were just afraid of it exposing them.
