Topic	Martin Scorsese: Marvel movies are not 'cinema'

To be fair, he didn't really deserve it. At least, not for the movie he won it for. It was more one of those cases where the Academy gives a win to a director/actor for a lesser work as a sort of apology for snubbing them previously for their much better works. It's one of the things that tends to get brought up when people talk about why the Oscars are absolute horseshit. To be fair, the charge was that his films weren't critically successful, not whether or not they deserve to be critically successful. And despite decades of criticisms, the Oscars are still the pinnacle of critical reception. Disney's CEO can publicly talk about not caring whether the Marvel movies win awards (which, by the way, could be seen as tying directly into why it's not cinema), but you know they piss their pants every time they get a nomination. All that aside, Scorsesee has a lot more than just an Oscar. DirtBasedSoap posted... i like the avengers movies but yeah, they arent exactly groundbreaking. still extremely impressive that they brought so many beloved characters to life without pissing off the majority of the fanbase. people are so quick to shit on and unfairly criticize everything these days. None of which makes them cinema. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| <cite>Aaantlion posted [p:928385482] in Martin Sco...
