Oscar 2016 Snubs: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know

Here are the 5 biggest Oscar snubs of 2016

The Academy Awards 2016 are finally over. And while many people predicted Stallone and Star Wars to walk away with an award, they were among the long list of movies, actors, and productions that were snubbed.

Here are the 5 biggest Oscar snubs of 2016.

5. Star Wars

Despite airing on the Disney-owned ABC network, the Oscars coincidentally didn’t reward the highest grossing Disney movie in history, the Star Wars. 

The Force Awakens went into Sunday night’s show with five nominations but went home empty-handed despite many people predicting the movie would win at least one award.

Still, the Oscars telecast did feature a ton of cute scenes including some of the Universe’s most popular droids: C-3PO, R2-D2 and BB-8.

4. Carol

Carol was another movie that was nominated several times but ended up winless at the Oscars, ending the 1950s-set lesbian love story, which earned several nominations at different award shows across the country.

3. The Martian

The Martian was another surprising shut out. The box office hist movie earned seven nominations at one point was a favorite to win best picture. But, needless to say, Matt Damon went home empty handed.

2. Sicario & Brooklyn

After losing all of the awards for which they were nominated Sicario and Brooklyn analysts didn’t predict the movies were going to take home any awards.

1 . Steve Jobs & Kate Winslet

Steve Jobs was also snubbed this year after failing to win either of the two awards for which it was nominated. Steve Jobs featured Michael Fassbender and Kate Winslet, and while DiCaprio was a favorite to win best actor, Winset was expected to win best supporting actress.

SYLVESTER STALLONE!

Meanwhile, the biggest snub of the evening came against Sylvester Stallone and Lady Gaga as they both lost oscars they were favored to win. Stallone the favorite in the best supporting actor category and Gaga the favorite to win the best original song however, Mark Rylance and Sam Smith won those categories.

Leonardo DiCaprio’s best actor win went viral in a matter of seconds.

The Revenant star picking up a long-awaited award led to 440,000 tweets per minute, destroying the previous mark set by Ellen Degeneres star-packed selfie from two years ago.

The moment Leonardo DiCaprio finally won best actor prize, it became the most tweeted moment of an Oscar telecast ever according to data from Twitter.

DiCaprio’s win for his performance in The Revenant, after missing out on a golden statue on five previous occasions, set social media ablaze and led to 440,000 tweets per minute, beating out the previous record of 250,000 Tweets per minute set in 2014 when Oscar host Ellen Degeneres tweeted a star-studded selfie that “broke the Internet.”

Fans Bash the Oscars: ‘Chris Rock is Racist to White People’

People were not too happy with Chris Rock’s latest Oscars performance.

The Oscars are a night of lights, glamour and fun. However, this year it was filled with tension as the lack of diversity in Hollywood rang throughout the auditorium like elevator music composed by your favorite #OscarsSoWhite composers.

As many expected, Chris Rock didn’t back away from the diversity issue. Instead, Chris Rock addressed it head on as soon as he came on stage. “I counted at least 15 black people in that montage,” Rock said, referring to a video highlight reel of 2015’s most successful movies.

Rock then called the Oscars as the “White People’s Choice Awards.”

The host didn’t back down from the controversy, either saying, “If they nominated hosts, I wouldn’t even get this job. You’d be watching Neil Patrick Harris right now!” Rock joked, referring to last year’s host. Rock went on to say, “The last thing I need is to lose another job to Kevin Hart.” Hart, himself in attendance, burst into laughter.

COmmenting on why this year, in particular, did so many people want boycott the Oscars, Rock pointed out that in the past African American’s were too busy trying to avoid getting lynched to worry about who won best cinematographer.

But, the biggest joke of the night was directed at Jada Pinkett Smith. Rock compared Smith boycotting the Oscars to himself boycotting Rihanna’s panties. “I’m not invited,” he quipped. He also poked fun at Pinkett Smith’s husband, actor Will Smith, who many felt that he was snubbed for his performance in Concussion this year. “It’s not fair that Will was not nominated,” Rock said. “It’s also not fair that he got $20 million for Wild Wild West!”

While a large percentage of Chris Rock’s jokes were focused on diversity issues, Rock also commented on the #AskHerMore campaign. He argued that men are not asked about their outfits because “they’re all wearing the same thing.” He continued, “If George Clooney showed up wearing a lime green tux on, and a swan coming out of his ass, somebody would go, “Whatcha wearin’, George?’ ”

However, many people were upset with Chris Rock’s performance.

Despite so many people bashing Chris Rock on Twitter, many people stood by Rock and praised his performance.

Chris Rock Pushed The Limits in the 2016 Oscars Monologue [VIDEO]

Chris Rock tackles racism head on in 2016 Oscars monologue.

Chris Rock opened the 88th Annual Academy Awards Sunday night with a monologue that lived up to expectations. Amidst the controversy surrounding #OscarsSoWhite, Chris Rock was expected to address Hollywood’s diversity issues in his opening monologue. He pushed the limits with a joke about the Oscars being the “White People’s Choice Awards,” and how if the host was chosen through nominations, Chris Rock wouldn’t be hosting.

It will be interesting to see how this monologue is received from the media from the days to come. The predominately white audience was difficult to read with many attendees seemingly unsure how to respond.

However, Chris Rock took the opportunity to bash Hollywood’s institutional racism but he also suggested that #OscarsSoWhite grew out of black people not having more important things to protest about. “Everything’s not sexism. Everything’s not racism,” he said.

Kanye West: Will Ferrell is a “Walking Living Breathing God”

Kanye West is probably Will Ferrell’s biggest fan.

Critics hated Zoolander 2. The sequel to Ben Stiller’s cult classic about the world of male modeling currently has a 23% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. But the movie has at least one person on its side: Kanye West.

Kanye West admitted on Twitter that he’s seen Zoolander 2 twice and thinks Will Ferrell is a living god.

While we can all appreciate Will Ferrell’s comedic timing. Kanye West went on by saying that Ferrell had reached “Bruce Lee status” with his latest movie. That may seem pretty off but, Kanye’s recent history on Twitter doesn’t really make sense in the first place.

It is important to point out that Kanye West allegedly begged Will Ferrell for a role in one of his movies. However, his audition tape for Semi-Pro was so “terrible” that Ferrell decided to cast Andre 3000 instead.

This is for the role he lost to Andre Benjamin and it’s very obvious why — he’s a terrible actor. He’s wearing a ridiculous afro wig that he brought himself to the interview. He seems insecure and wooden through the whole tape, including some gems like:

“I did it much better in my dining room” and after the audition asking “It’s not great like I leave the office and not-so-great?”

And this is not the fist time Kanye West praised Will Ferrell. The rapper sampled the comedian in one of his studio albums, cameo in his films and frequently plays him unreleased music. Kanye West even told GQ in an interview that Kanye West often cites Will Ferrell as a spiritual guide alongside God. During the interview, he repeated a line from Step Brothers to illustrate why he decided to marry Kim Kardashian: “Never lose your dinosaur.”

Never a dull day with Kanye West on Twitter.

Kevin Hart: ‘All the Black People Should Be in the First Row of the Oscars’

Kevin Hart pokes fun at the lack of diversity in Hollywood: “all the black people should be in the first row.’

The moment everyone is waiting for is nearly here – The 2016 Oscars. The official Academy Awards hashtag is already trending #Oscars2016, and celebrities are on their way to the Oscars as we speak to prepare for the biggest night in Hollywood.

While Leonardo DiCaprio is nervously waiting to see if he will actually win an award, thousands of people are going to be tuning in to see what Chris Rock will have to say about the #OscarsSoWhite controversy and the lack of diversity in Hollywood. But, Kevin Hart, the actor/comedian took the opportunity during rehearsals this morning to poke fun at the lack of diversity in the movie industry.

Kevin Hart said “all the black people should be in the front row”, according to Daily Mail.com

Speaking to nobody in particular, he quipped: ‘Where am I sitting? I was about to say all the black people should be in the first row.’

Kevin Hart may have been joking, but his statement underlines the biggest issue dominating this year’s 88th Academy Awards.

Until tonight’s Oscars, we will have to wait and see how much diversity plays in tonight’s award ceremony.

‘Oscar Love Curse’: How Winning Destroys Relationships

‘Oscar Love Curse’: How Winning Destroys Relationships

Growing up watching the Award shows with my family, I always wondered what happens behind the scenes. For example, if an actor, director, or filmmaker forgets to thank their significant other, then I expect a huge backlash, fist fights, or even crocodile tears; But, I may have watched too many episodes of Maury.

Oscars 2015

But, it still begs the question: What happens when an Oscar winner forgets to thank their significant other? Well, thanks to researchers over at The Hollywood Reporter, we finally know the answer.

According to the study, Hollywood relationships are more than 20% more likely to fail, if filmmakers forget to thank their significant other.

The Hollywood Reporter went through 30 years’ worth of acceptance speeches — every acting award given from 1986 to 2015, 120 in all — and confirmed that of the 90 winners who were married or in a relationship during their Academy Award win, 32 did not thank their partners, and 60 percent ended up consciously uncoupling down the road. Out of the nearly two-thirds of those winners who thanked their partners in their acceptance speeches — 40 percent split anyway.

Oscar Thank Yous
The Hollywood Reporter

In addition, there is apparently some kind of ‘Oscar love curse’, where women who win an award end up breaking up with their husband or boyfriend.

THR also found truth to the theory of an “Oscar love curse” — which suggests that women who win best actress typically go on to break up with their partner. In fact, more women than men ended up splitting after their Oscar win, as a whole, whether they thanked their partner or not.

Ouch.

However, just like my College statistics professor told me while I was in class, correlation does not always mean causation. Therefore, there’s no clear evidence that forgetting Oscar-Thank Yous actually, hurt relationships. It’s pretty interesting to see that something is happening behind the scenes.

USA cancels Satisfaction after only two seasons.

The Atlanta filmed TV series will not be returning to the Peach State any time soon. USA has pulled the plug on the romantic-drama series, Satisfaction.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the escort drama series starring Matt Passmore and created by Suits executive producer Sean Jablonski, is officially cancelled.

Apparently the show’s EP signed a deal with Netflix, which will allow for Jablonski to create new series for the streaming giant. In fact, Jablonski’s new series Gypsy is expected to start filming shortly.

Satisfaction is the latest show to get canceled by USA. Following the success of Mr.Robot, reports suggest that USA is headed into a new direction.

USA recently cancelled Complications and Graceland. 

USA recently renewed Carlton Cuse’s Colony for a second season, and the network is getting ready to release the new drugs drama series Queen of the South later on his year.

USA also picked up several new TV shows including a TV version of Mark Wahlberg’s movie Shooter and Gale Anne Hurd (Breaking Bad) Falling Water.

Vaping Show Show casting call for models in Tampa, Florida.

Paradym Group is looking for trade show models to work on the VCC Vaping Show in Tampa, Florida at the Florida State Fairgrounds.

According to their website:

Vaping Convention Circuit was formed in 2013 by Kevin E. Skipper with the purpose of educating the general public as to the benefits of ecigarettes as nicotine delivery devices as compared to traditional tobacco products, as well as exposing the public and other vendors to the variety of quality products available to vapers.

Kevin’s vision is to introduce as many tobacco users as possible to vaping as a viable alternative. In April 2014, Kevin spearheaded the formation of VISTA Truth Inc., a non-profit based in Florida composed of common sense vaping industry businesses advocating for common sense legislation on a state by state basis. As the organization’s inaugural President, Kevin’s goal is to have a lobbyist in every state capitol.

The modeling job will take place on March 12th and March 13th. Models that are selected will be compensated $225/day.

Actor and comedian Chris Rock released a mysterious tweet ahead of the 2016 Academy Awards.

Rock, who will be hosting the highly controversial Oscars wrote, “See you Sunday… #blackout #oscars,” along with a video of television static.

Previously, Oscars producer Reginald Hudlin previously said that Chris Rock is not going to hold back when it comes to hosting this year following the #OscarsSoWhite controversy. “Chris is hard at work,” Hudlin said. “He and his writing staff locked themselves in a room.”  Hudlin went on to say that Rock declared, “I’m throwing out the show I wrote and writing a new show.”

The producer said he believes that Chris Rock will be able to circle around the controversy, saying that the comedian is “thorough.”

“He’s that brilliant, and I have 1,000 percent confidence that he will deliver something that people will be talking about for weeks,” he said.

“And, yes, the Academy is ready for him to do that … They’re excited about him doing that. They know that’s what we need. They know that’s what the public wants, and we deliver what the people want.”

The Academy Awards will air on Feb. 28 at 7 p.m. ET on ABC.

People Are Boycotting Netflix After Casting White ‘Iron Fist’

Netflix is in hot water after ‘white washing’ the cast of the upcoming Marvel series Iron Fist.

Netflix has announced their plans for a new Marvel series. This time around, Marvel will be recreating the comic book character “Iron Fist” for the Netflix streaming platform. However, many people are upset about the latest casting decision.

According to reports, Marvel has cast Game of Thrones star Finn Jones as the series lead. Finn Jones is white and according to the comic books, Iron Fist was Asian-American. That “white-washing” decision has pissed off both fans of the comic book series, as well as a prominent Marvel comic-book writer.

Marjorie Liu, a comic book writer for Marvel, calls the casting decision an “orientalist-white-man-yellow-fever narrative” Liu adds, “Asian actor would have helped subvert that offensive trope, and reclaim space.”

“Let me be blunt: I won’t watch Iron Fist if they cast a white dude. I can’t do it anymore. I’ve reached my limit. Peace out.”

Marjorie Liu wrote Dark Wolverine and X-23 titles for Marvel. She also retweeted sentiments from others disappointed in the casting news.

Many people took to twitter to share their feelings about the casting decision.

Fans have even started a petition calling for Marvel to cast an Asian actor to play ‘Iron Fist’. The author of the petition writes:

Since Marvel and Netflix’s slate of superhero series are supposed to inhabit the same world as the billion-dollar grossing Avengers, Iron Fist gives Marvel Studios a chance to add even more diversity to its interconnected cinematic universe. Despite what opponents say about changing characters’ racial identities, this is a case in which changing Iron Fist’s race has the potential to add depth and layers to an already beloved comic book icon. Moreover, a non-white Iron Fist can also help remove some of the character’s more problematic elements such as Orientalism and cultural appropriation. 

This news comes after a new study illustrated that movies and TV shows with a diverse cast earn more money than movies featuring a predominately white cast.

Jamie Foxx BASHES Will Smith’s Oscar Boycott: “Act Better”

Jamie Foxx bashes Will Smith and #OscarsSoWhite: ‘Act Better’

Jamie Foxx asked “what’s the big deal” with the Oscars boycott while speaking at the American Black Film Festival Awards on Sunday. Foxx said he’s “not really” mad that the Oscar acting nominees are all white for a second year in a row.

In fact, Foxx said he called Denzel Washington about the Oscars Boycott and instead of complaining or boycotting the event, Jamie said “we just Instagramed our Oscars together.”

Hen then went on to poke fun at Will Smith’s Nigerian accent in the movie Concussion before yelling out #ActBetter. Jamie Foxx then bashed the #OscarsSoWhite movement saying:

“I was with Sidney Poitier just a couple weeks ago, and in 1963 all he asked for was an opportunity to act.” That’s all we have to do, opportunity. If you turn the camera on and say “OK . . . win an award . . . and action,” we’ll all have taken, like, 10 steps back. It’s all about the art. Who cares about anything else?”

Jamie Foxx won an Oscar, Golden Globe and Screen Actor’s Guild awards for best acting for his 2004 movie Ray. 

Will Smith has never won a best acting role for any of the major acting award ceremonies, despite receiving nominations for Ali, The Pursuit of Happyness and Concussion.

This is not the first time Jamie Foxx and Will Smith didn’t see eye to eye. Several years ago, Quentin Tarantino first approached Will Smith to star in Django Unchained but, Smith turned down the movie role saying “It was about the creative direction of the story. To me, it’s as perfect a story as you could ever want: a guy that learns how to kill to retrieve his wife that has been taken as a slave. That idea is perfect. And it was just that Quentin and I couldn’t see [eye to eye],” Smith told The Hollywood Reporter. “I wanted to make that movie so badly, but I felt the only way was, it had to be a love story, not a vengeance story”

Jamie Foxx would later replace Will Smith.
