“I think Straight Outta Compton is one of the greatest biopics, but I am biased on that one, obviously. There are some things the Academy gets wrong and it's important to call them on it. But in other instances, there are simply just better actors. They're doing a better job than they've done, but there's still room for improvement.” ThinkingStillsImportantDoneJobsActorsRoomsImprovementInstanceAcademyBiasedBetter JobsRoom For ImprovementCompton Author:Bun B

“I thought The Big Short deserved a nomination because Adam MacKay is one of the best filmmakers. A lot of what he does deals in comedy and he co-produces with Will Farrell, people don't really give it the credit that it deserves.

“I'm very surprised at Carol didn't get a best picture. Todd Haynes is an Academy darling, his period pieces are nothing short of brilliant, and they hold up. And I definitely feel like Carol speaks to, even though it's set in the past, it speaks to themes we're dealing with in life right now. It's really really shocking that it didn't get it.” FeelsPastSpeakPiecesPeriodsRight NowBrilliantThemeShockingDarlingAcademyCarolsBest Picture Author:Bun B
