So BP or Infinity War is going to win an Oscar. This go two ways it will either be one of the most predictable categories or one of the most controversial categories. Because the fans and box office numbers have a HUGE effect in a movie's popularity not a hand full of secret society like voters.

I really don't understand why it would be a controversy. To me, it's just an MVP trophy. It's just an acknowledgment of a movie that put the most butts in seats for any particular year.
 
Award shows are dead. Anticipation has been erased and that's what made them worth watching. Ill catch it on a YouTube clip or watch the tweets about it in the morning. The pageantry of watching spoiled rich people pat themselves on the back for a job well done has been totally replaced by IG

Yeah, surprisingly the BET Awards always ends being the best awards show every year despite the fact an actual BET award is worthless.
 
I just got done watching the season 5 finale of "The 100" that aired earlier this week. I can't help but chuckle thinking back to all the brothas that quit on the show during it's first season because
they killed off Wells
. Brehs should've stuck around becasue 5 seasons in & "The 100" is probably the best show on The CW.
 
So...Cyborg, rather than Beast Boy, is in the Doom Patrol series and not the Titans series???

The DC Universe has just announced that up-and-coming English actor Joivan Wade (The First Purge) has joined the cast of Doom Patrol in a series regular role as Victor Stone, a.k.a. Cyborg. His character is being described "as charming and sarcastic, Vic may be connected to every computer on the world, but he struggles to maintain the connections that make him human. Desperate to gain acceptance from the outside world, Vic harnesses the curse of his cybernetic body and uses his powers as the ultimate hero for the digital age."

Wade joins a cast that will also feature Diane Guerrero (Orange Is The New Black) as Crazy Jane and April Bowlby (Titans) as Elasti Woman. Other members that will feature, but have yet-to-be-cast, include Robotman, Negative Man, and Dr. Niles Caulder.
Further details are unavailable, but the season synopsis does say Cyborg will have an integral role to play throughout the series as he recruits the five reluctant, borderline outcast, heroes and offers them a mission that will prove to be hard to refuse and that promises to take them to the weirdest and most unexpected corners of the DC universe, although it will also come with a warning that the fivesome would be foolish to ignore.

DOOM PATROL is a re-imagining of one of DC’s most beloved group of outcast Super Heroes: Robotman, Negative Man, Elasti-Girl and Crazy Jane, led by modern-day mad scientist Dr. Niles Caulder (The Chief). The Doom Patrol's members each suffered horrible accidents that gave them superhuman abilities—but also left them scarred and disfigured. Traumatized and downtrodden, the team found purpose through The Chief, who brought them together to investigate the weirdest phenomena in existence—and to protect Earth from what they find. Part support group, part Super Hero team, the Doom Patrol is a band of super-powered freaks who fight for a world that wants nothing to do with them. Picking up after the events of TITANS, DOOM PATROL will find these reluctant heroes in a place they never expected to be, called to action by none other than Cyborg, who comes to them with a mission hard to refuse, but with a warning that is hard to ignore: their lives will never, ever be the same.

I'm as showbiz as they come but have to agree with you
 
^ LOVE How they are doing this show. They don't enough credit for their story, cinematography, visualization and intensity. They will replace The Walking Dead!

Because it is a handful of people voting for something that audiences really already made popular and giving them the deciding factor of which is OSCAR worthy popular. I doubt the Academy voters even know what MARVEL films are about or the stories.
 
A missing airplane returns five-and-a-half years later, but the passengers haven't aged a day. If this sounds vaguely familiar, you're not alone.

Antoine Fuqua Coming To The MCU?

162869.jpg



It has been rumored that Safe House director Daniel Espinosa had been tapped to helm Sony's Morbius movie, but Antoine Fuqua (The Equalizer 2) recently revealed that he was approached for the project and decided to pass.

However, it sounds like Fuqua still has a comic book movie itch that needs to be scratched.

While chatting to HeyUGuys, the director mentioned that he has a meeting coming up with Kevin Feige about potentially helming a Marvel Studios film - although he doesn't go into any detail. He does, however, explain why he still has some reservations about entering that world.

"For me it has to be the right one, in the right situation because there’s so much visual effects going on and – ‘Where’s the director in it all?’ I need to understand it because it’s like management…they have a machine, they’ve got people, there’s the design, the whole thing is sketched out..…Is the director doing that? Or is it a hundred other people?"

Though there are plenty of quieter, character-driven moments in Marvel movies, Fuqua does have a point, and his concerns are shared by many filmmakers and actors in the industry.

None of Elba's reps have any knowledge of such a possible casting, according to a new media report. File this one under: Just a rumor.

Stubborn rumor, though. Somebody wants this to happen. I'd take either Idris or Henry Cavill as Bond but they have to get rid of the whole writing/directing team and start from scratch

To be fair the article does talk about the producers having said "It is time". The producers are thinking about it.
 
^ Yeah, but usually when they come from the inside there is some legitimacy to the rumor. Meaning they want this to happen it's just a matter of getting on the same page with Idris.
