This documentary brought me life! I love Questlove any ways but he has outdone himself here..

[@MeisterGlanz86]

After seeing "Searching for Sugarman" a few years ago, this should be the next Oscarwinner.Greetings from Southgermany.

[@AlexMcGillvrey]

No, Flee must be the winner for Beat Documentary Feature, it’s animated and Summer of Soul isn’t.

[@emiliobello2538]

Maybe a German documentary would win an Oscar one day. And that is in German too. Maybe even a Music documentary

[@christianknight727]

Give this the Best Documentary Oscar.

[@emiliobello2538]

This could be the first concert film to win an Oscar since Woodstock

[@HarishKumar-ji6hq]

Questlove: the dictionary of music
Quentin: the dictionary of films
Love both of them.

Dearest Brother Ahmir Thank you and it should be noted that Brother Sly Stone was the only band leader to Play both festivals WOODSTOCK and SUMMER OF SOUL. SLY was a GENIUS.

Tu crees que un documental mexicano ganará un Oscar

[@emiliobello2429]

this documentary came at the right time when people couldn't go to concerts. I hope more music documentaries get an Oscar

José likes Jimmy Fallon and the Tonight Show gang (The Roots, Steve Higgins and Hashtag the Panda).
He will likely wants Jimmy Fallon, Kevin Hart, Jimmy Kimmel and Tom Holland will host the 95th Academy Awards in 2023.

[@emiliobello2429]

Yes

[@rodneyharper2275]

I'm glad you found that footage, however, make sure the rest of the film that we knew you edited gets on display so the public can come to their own conclusion 👍👍👍

What a shocker, Academy!!!! Why record 8 categories? I hated it !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dougiesherwin9591]

The film is still topical because the US is still a racist empire. Some things never change.

Flee must win Best Documentary Feature, not Summer of Soul. Besides, Flee is animated and it’s more important for that film to get the Oscar instead of Summer of Soul.

[@emiliobello2538]

First animated documentary to be nominated for Best Documentary Feature. Should have gone to Waltz With Bashir

[@AlexMcGillvrey]

@@emiliobello2538 Be thankful for the nomination it did got, which was for Best Foreign Language Film. Too bad it didn’t even win that.

[@emiliobello2538]

@@AlexMcGillvrey maybe Flee would win them both. It could be the new Waltz With Bashir. But I’m glad Departures won

[@AlexMcGillvrey]

@@emiliobello2538 Departures was that movie from Japan, correct?

[@emiliobello2538]
