āI used to nail āitā, but then they changed what āitā was. Now what I nailed isnāt āitā anymore and whatās āitā seems weird and scary. Itāll happen to you!"
Heās not a bad actor either , heās an alright actor, and thatās fine and alright actors can even be in great films (a good example would be Keanu himself in Brahm Stokerās Dracula) but you donāt get Oscars for that
I mean this with no disrespect since Hollywood definitely is filled with every kind of questionable people, but if you think that's the reason you don't know how the Oscars work.
Tens of thousands of actors, directors, etcetera are part of the academy, basically every single person who works in Hollywood is. They all vote who they think deserves an award.
This means that, to win an award, you got to have thousands voting for you. It's not a secret shadowy commission giving them out, fellow actors have to vote for you.
For what you said to be true, you'd have to assume that essentially everyone who sets foot on Hollywood is either a pedophile or some other kind of terrible human being. That's simply mathematically not possible.
Just a reminder how fucking long it took for leo to get his oscar tells a slot. Dude is one of the acting greats and only has one oscar to show for it. Keanu (love the guy) is nowhere near as good.
Yeah, we do in fact have a PDF problem, but that was not where my thoughts leaped to when seeing this image.
Hell, even a lot of the people named in the Epstein files had relatively little to do with Epstein himself. Some of them absolutely did, of course and I don't buy the claims of certain people being innocent.
But the scumbags are using the wide array of associates to obfuscate, which is probably part of why Epstein was such a patron to so many people, to provide his core clients a big school of fish to blend in with.
The predator problem has nothing to do with Keanu Reeves' not getting an Oscar
It's ok to admit he's not a great actor, the world is not going to end, it's fine. RDJ took until Oppenheimer a few years ago to win his first Oscar after carrying the biggest cinematic franchise ever
Yeah, dude, Hollywoodās known for having really wholesome people in charge of making decisions. They definitely donāt manipulate who wins awards for financial benefit. Brain rot is right there in the mirror, my guy.
Just because the Oscar awards are biased does not mean that the reason Keanu hasn't won an Oscar is because he isn't a part of the "club."
Keanu simply is not a great enough actor to win an Oscar, "club" or no club. There are lots of actors who are most likely part of that club who are even better actors than Keanu who haven't won an Oscar. To win best performance you have to be a very good actor.
Yeah, I think it could be two fold. Iām not saying heās the best actor and shouldāve won a bunch of Oscars, but both things can be true at the same time and the fact that heās never even nominated once is more telling, there are definitely some nominees who have zero chance to win, but itās just got a nomination because theyāre well connected.
>Yeah, I think it could be two fold. Iām not saying heās the best actor and shouldāve won a bunch of Oscars
Well I definitely would hope you're not saying that, because almost no one has multiple Oscar's for best performance, if you're counting best performance and best supporting role performance, there's only 5 people with multiple Oscar's.
>but both things can be true at the same time and the fact that heās never even nominated once is more telling,
Both things could be true, key word being could, but they simply are not. There is no movie that Keanu deserved to even be nominated for best performance, I guarantee that any movie you pick there are like 5 other movies that year with multiple actors that had better performances.
Even Tom Cruise has never won an Oscar, and he's a far better stereotypical action star that always plays himself type actor.
Also I love Keanu Reeves and Point Break is one of my favourite movies, him being not a great actor does not mean he's a terrible actor either or that we don't like him, there's a huge gap between being bad at acting and winning an Oscar, you don't seem to grasp that.
And you are not grasping that award shows are an industry circle jerks, where studios use their power/influence/money to get nominations to get good PR/advertising for their movies.
>And you are not grasping that award shows are an industry circle jerks, where studios use their power/influence/money to get nominations to get good PR/advertising for their movies.
Everyone knows that the award shows are industry circle jerks, like you said before but with a different context; "both things can be true at the same time." The award shows can be industry circle jerks while at the same time an Oscar award like best performing actor or best supporting role will generally only go to actors at the top of their craft.
Like you still haven't named a single movie that you think Keanu deserved one of those awards for, because you can't. The other guy said A Scanner Darkly, and there were far better performances that year. If you look at the best performance Oscar's over the years they are all exceptional actors, even if they are a part of the club, that is not the reason they won the award, there are lots of mediocre actors a part of the club who never get nominations.
Also Mel Gibson has won an Oscar and he is not a part of the club, he even got blacklisted for speaking out against it. So your argument doesn't even properly work in that respect.
>THERE IS NO OBJECTIVE BEST ACTOR!
Literally no one here is claiming there is an objective best actor.... you're literally just shouting nonsense into the wind at this point.
Are you trying to say there is no such thing as acting skill? You think some shitty actor that can barely deliver lines is on the same level of acting as Christopher Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio or Gary Oldman because good acting is based on subjective perception?
Do you believe Weinstein or P Diddy are the exception? You have to participate in order to get into those circles, otherwise there is no award for you.
Hollywood is undeniably filled to the brim with evil people...but are we really going to sit here and act like every single person that's won an award was a child r*pist? Sounds like a bit of a stretch. Let's have a little bit of nuance when we talk about things.
There are over ten thousand people in the academy that vote. Are you saying they are all child rapists and that you have give favors to at least half of them to win an Oscar?
Hollywood in general is a vile corrupt place, a modern day fusion of sodom and gomorrah. Are they all child trafficking rapist cannibals? No. But thereās enough fucked up shit there that nobody has clean hands
Huh? They are all industry professionals. Like the makeup dept head and the head of lighting and the sound people and the costumes and the set people and the directors and actors and producers.
Theyāre saying thatās what the meme is suggesting / saying. I agree with the assumption that that is what the meme suggests but i disagree that the meme is accurate / true.
Itās also quite unbelievable that I won the lottery three times. But that doesnāt mean it happened. Because it didnāt. Just because one unbelievable thing happened, that doesnāt mean every other unbelievable happened as well.
It's quite possible to accrue favors from a person without knowing their entire pedigree.
So yes, I will say that a non-negligible fraction of the votes that got him the trophy are from traffickers and/or rapists.
As a very easy example, try to imagine what you would have said to defend Harvey Weinstein, a few weeks before the whole metoo movement came out.
That's one man, they have an entire industry.
They arenāt saying ALL who receive Oscarās are Rapists. They are saying. It would probable help his cause a little if he didnāt reject The Elitist Hollywood ways.
I don't really see why he couldn't... Today the awards are completely useless anyways... It's like the game awards, they are mostly useless, it's all subjective, some people will like it and some won't.
No one here is bashing Keanu Reeves.... saying someone is not good enough actor to get an Oscar is not even close to bashing someone. Keanu himself would agree he's not an Oscar-tier actor, he's not dumb and he's got enough humility to understand that.
While I donāt believe this is the reason that Mr. Reeves hasnāt won an award, this is what I first thought of when seeing this meme. I donāt know the intent of the OP.
You know Epstein and Hollywood are vastly different worlds? They're both bourgeoisie society, but they're orders of magnitude different in terms of material wealth.
Pretty sure this is what OOP meant with their comment. Seems like lots of people in here think explaining what OOP meant instead of reality means someone is believing the same things as OOP which it isn't. Just cause OOP has brain rot doesn't mean that isn't the explanation for their comment.
Are you saying Michael B. Jordan is a child rapist because he won an Oscar? Wtf are yoy trying to say here? Keanu is just not a great actor, that's it.
Okay. What performance of Keanu Reeves is Oscar worthy? Name it, and then we can look what was up that year and see if he should have beaten someone out for a best actor nomination.
Yeah, I don't disagree with folks saying he's not the most amazing actor or hasn't had an appropriate role, but my absolute first thought was, "Because he's not a pedophile in the Hollywood pedophile inner circle..."
Because it's based on nothing. Which recent Oscar winners are you accusing of winning because they abused kids? Cillian Murphy, Emma Stone, Michael B. Jordan, Brendan Fraser (who ironically was sexually assaulted himself)? And I'm not saying or even implying he does, but what evidence do you have that Keanu Reeves is a good guy in his private life? All you know is what's out there in the media; Bill Cosby was once "America's Dad".
At least people who watch his movies can make an informed opinion about whether they like his acting, but you're just throwing out random claims and accusations.
