MrMallard 11/08/21 8:42:20 PM #20:	Man I made this topic to clown about that viral rant video where the guy was saying Parasite won because of "the woke agenda", and how Joker touched on poverty and mental illness so it should have won despite Parasite taking a much more effective look at those issues, which he didn't know because he didn't see the movie. He was just upset because a foreign language film won the Best Picture Oscar and not the Best Foreign Movie Oscar, and that Joker lost.

FortuneCookie 11/08/21 9:02:23 PM #25:	Parasite wasn't even the best film I saw that day. I watched it as part of a film festival which also showed We Shall Not Die Now. That's the movie which should have won Best Picture. The Oscars are nothing but a bunch of grab-asses patting themselves on the back. They'd rather talk about financial inequality than true oppression because the former is trendier. <cite>FortuneCookie posted [p:959821862] in Two years ...
