"The Rosa Parks Story" "The Whiteman Brothers" I'm dying
Jaylie Piatt me too 😂😂
I didn't get the joke
do do do do Dodododo look up who Rosa Parks is then you’ll get the joke
@@dodododododododo8216 Infamous films and stories that are involving the struggles of African Americans... most of the time these award winners are written, produced and directed by white people.
@@ackbarfan5556 so
In some cases, the voters don't even watch all the movies. This is especially prevalent with the Best Animated Movie award.
A year later your comment still rings true. They did it this year too.
Disney wins by default
The only time any company "beat" Disney in recent years was The Boss Baby by DreamWorks. Poor sense of timing amirite?
@@jeffbrehove2614 dont forget Spiderverse
So this is why Brave won best picture in 2012 when both wreck it ralph and rise of the guardians are objectively better movies.
I didn't even watch 12 Years A Slave. - An actual quote from numerous Oscar Voters
interesting how you choice to speak about this specific movie
Because that was film they were asked about. You can google it.
Venom NBK its pretty powerful
That movie was horrible. Straight up. I can't remember ever seeing another Best Picture winner that terrible. I thought it would be good but the editing was choppy, the cinematography was all over the place, the pacing made it so that you never knew how much time was passing (obviously 12 years by the end) and there was absolutely no character development whatsoever. The acting was good but they had no material to work with.
The Lukanator Agreed that movie sucked.
The fact that Gary Oldman is walking around with not one single Oscar to his name taught me this long time ago.
I wonder if he may win the Oscar for Best Actor for Darkest Hour.
Unless Daniel Day Lewis wins again.
#OscatsSoWhite scandal
The Cinematic Mind he just won it today
Lets face it. We all know he's one of the best. The Oscar no longer matters
The man was JAMES MF GORDON, the best one on screen so far, and didn’t walk out with an Oscar for one or the best Batman movies of all time, yeah you right, we learned this a loooong time ago
Shout out to Denzel for always keeping it real
If only more public figures in entertainment would follow his example
Always so well written and you can tell that a lot of effort and thought is put into these videos. There's only one thing I don't want Adam to ruin, and it's this show.
Series finale
season finale
Daniel Walker I actually want him to. I love the show but, I'd bet money this show has either exaggerated somethings, accidently reported false information, or used outdated information. Doing an episode that points out mistakes, corrects or updates itself would give the show more credit and objectivity.
But as some others already suggested, maybe it should be sone of the minor characters in the show who should host it, give them some time in the limelight.
Daniel Walker oh no!!!!! It looks like it's going to happen :)
This is why Oscars, Emmys, Golden Globes etc. mean absolutely nothing to me.
Grammys too
@@shawntok_ oof. I mean yeah she's good but not revolutionary good. Try randomly searching other artist on sound cloud .
How about awards from foreign countries
@@shawntok_ I still don't get how Logic didn't win
Only one oscar matters to me: 8 mile
Look at the Mr Rodgers documentary “won’t you be my neighbor”. It was loved by both critics and audiences adored the movie. It wasn’t even nominated for best documentary despite it being universally loved.
That and Toni Colette were the biggest snubs that year
This is also how our government works

The best way to climb up the ladder is to know someone, be important somehow, or to be able to get your name out there with favours or money. There's a reason why at the top of the ladder, there's only a couple degrees of separation.

True, and it's been a long-standing problem that's been kicking a majority of people's a$$es for a long time (especially since it can get in the way of people's basic needs, like applying for all kinds of jobs). Knowing people to help get basic necessities in life is based off luck and privilege, something that only a few people get... 0_0
This explains a lot when it comes to best animated picture. It's probably hard to compete with the amount of money Pixar and Disney have to throw at for your consideration campaigns.
Elizabeth Lennon no dude, Disney don’t give so much money, if they really did that, they would won in every single category, Disney is the second highest grossing company
I wouldn't be surprised if the problem isn't just Disney having the most money to throw - but also because the judges would be narrow minded, and only stick with Disney because that's what they're used to. Like I wouldn't be surprised if they're older, stuck in their ways/rigid, and only ever know of things like Ghibli movies because Disney is attached to them.
If there was a more larger and diverse panel of judges (like the Internet/social media provides the average person to be sometimes), then we'd probably see less slanderings of animation and more praise for it as an art medium.
Give him more muscles, shave his face a little and he could pass for Johny Bravo!
oh my god
He would need shades....and a little redhead girl as a friend/companion that he always yells to go home or something
Shady Fungus he totally has the haircut lol

What I love is how nominees campaign their asses off for months, and then when they win they pretend to be astonished and say, "Oh, I did *not* expect this. I'm overwhelmed and humbled!" Uh-huh.
Amen..🍷👍
This is exactly how Emily in Paris got nominated for Golden Globes!
He forgot to explain Hollywood actors/actresses, directors and producers are the ones choosing the nominee and winners.
"The table is tilted folks; the game is rigged. And nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care."
-George Carlin (1937-2008)
Amen..🍷👍
More like the people closest to the issues would care while everyone else is either uneducated/out-of-the-loop about it or don't care because they're not personally affected. I've noticed this as an artist whenever I've seen AI get talked about - I care because I, and many other artists, have plenty to loose when AI is misused by other people/corporations, whereas someone with a different vested interest in AI would be more dismissive. Because they're the ones reaping benefits or see benefits for themselves (or project what they think is beneficial to others in a "road to hell paved with good intentions" outlook).
Shows that not only should more people learn to be compassionate/empathetic, but also that more awareness, education, and the means to act on what they've learned should be around way more.
I never understood why people cared about these awards. It's all arbitrary. Awards have always been arbitrary as long as they are decided by voters.
Because while it's arbitrary, it's still a good way to know which are objectively good... there is lots of opinion involved, but if there is enough people with the same opinion, it strengthens the value of the opinion. And if it's an opinion based off of taste, then it's good enough to be viewed as great.
The movie are good and I like bet on which movie or actor win every years. It's funny.
@@TheDeathmail Argumentum ad populum. More people agreeing doesn't necessarily make it "more objectively right." It's still just a subjective consensus, at best. And it isn't even a true popular vote either. It's only among the members of the Academy, which often lean heavily biased in certain similar directions and not necessarily reflective of the views or opinions of the greater movie-going population as a whole.
@@DeathBringer769 It's a subjective consensus about taste, which is subjective to begin with, so... that's how you build objectivity in this case.
@@AR15ORIGINAL By having anonymous voters who can't be bribed?
Damn, they predicted Green Book
The Leo campaign had to be the most elaborate over the top overdone expensive Oscar campaign I’d ever seen. They paid Viners and RUclipsrs ffs.
Any proof of this?
@@injieanis4581 the proof is your common sense that year all the top influencers made expensive skits and videos about Leo deserving an Oscar they spoke about it on Late Night and every daytime talk show it was splattered over magazines but yeah no you’re right TOTAL coincidence 😑 foh.
@@falloutgirl902 I simply asked. I'm non-American actually 🙄🙄 no need to be this rude
Which movie?
@@AyeBeeG The Revenant
so that explains why Disney always wins awards :P
i herd their next movie will be about Harambe and his sacrifice to save the boy
totally another oscarbait
Yeah... The annie awards are biased towards disney.
+subata45 and so are the oscars, I'm yet to hear of a year they did not win any
+Robert Aguilar cause the moneymakers want celebrities not the animators.
Rosa Parks story by the whitemen brothers was simultaneously amusing and sad. Amusing because the thought is ridiculous and sad because that is not far removed from reality.
Allowed? Weird phrasing. It does show that we are still appropriating african american culture and be rewarded more than those who's culture it is.
Kind of like stealing an idea from warner brothers and making more than they ever did off the idea. Just disgusting and wrong.
-Be in America
-Appropriating Africa
It's a melting pot you goon
Stag Beetle the point of your comment is lost somehow.
Really? Is that why Louise Ranier, a German, won the Oscar for Best Actress for portraying a Chinese peasant woman despite the fact that Anna May Wong WAS Chinese AND American born AND was around during that time? Because this country is a "melting pot"? Please explain to me how a Lithuanian (Paul Muni) plays an Italian gangster (Scarface 1932) and in the remake, an Italian (Al Pacino) plays a Cuban national (Tony Montana)? But then again, what would I expect from Hollywood casting? www.suggest.com/movies/17737/13-times-hollywood-made-totally-racist-casting-decisions#page=1
DAngelo 136 true story. Hollywood is crazy
The fact that the final seasons of GOT got so many emmys and black sails got basically none shows just how important advertising and payed for reviews are

That's season 3 my dude. First episode of season 2 was THIS very episode.
Im not expecting to read this comment

Whiteman brothers with the Rosa Parks movie😂😂
Ray Wise is such a good actor, he was so funny on Reaper a few years back! I'm still sad that show got cancelled...
Another victim of the writer's strike
The Entertainment Network A Very underrated actor
Yeah, good to see he still got work. My favorite role of his is president Michael Dugan in Red Alert 2.
…
he was good as leland palmer in twin peak
Some awards have "people choice award". It's based on audience'vote, but it is not. Audience vote is the most easiest one to manipulate. It just gave us the "illusion of choice"
Netflix guy made me actually laugh. A reference from one of my favorite shows, priceless
So, that's how Suicide Squad won...
Their make was good (film sucked) but compare to ST Beyond, the latter clearly wins.
They won a technical award so no.
@@jonathancharron7360 I strongly disagree.
And Phil Collins.
Yep
"The table's tilted folks. The game is rigged."-George Carlin
To sums it up: everything needs lobbying
Who knew the breads and circuses needed as much lobbying as politicians do.
I like what the sign says at 1:35 into the clip...”Fancy Party for Awards Voters (Not A Bribe)”
BOSS BABY *cough*
sorry, allergies popping up
On the bright side it didn’t win
M Lego Batman was snubbed a nomination
A Silent Voice should have won
@@tryomama A Silent Voice shouldve been NOMINATED
Jovan Lee, I actually agree with you that Oscars really were about the integrity of art then A Silent Voice should have won an Oscar instead of Boss Baby.
Make a completely bizarre/nasty movie, slap the label "independent" on it, and get praise from all the critics.
Like....
Ghostbusters 3
inutonmoms Swiss Army Man
+Tony Crony that didnt gain praise from all the critics it got like 60 something on rt
Eli Roth
Oh what a huge surprise! I'm shocked.. I'd never thought of that.. ... .... ....
want a cookie?
yeah you didn't think of that. clearly nobody did.
Thanks Adam I always felt weird about the movie industry telling me what to like.
I already knew this. It's a common joke in many shows.
But it becomes a sincerity.
Thanks, Einstien, for the update
Makes it a bit hard to enjoy the fact that Deadpool got nominated for two Golden Globes. Just a bit
5:05 "The ones that get nominated are still pretty good, but when it comes to who wins--money talks"
I liked "that one Tom Hanks movie your dad liked"
1:44 DAD?!!
Hey! Nathan Barnett! What up!
This probably explains why Atonement was robbed.
Kitty Grimm I saw it recommended to me on Netflix. Should I watch it?
This probably explains why -Atonement- Eraserhead was robbed.
Fixed it for ya.
Where do I get that hair gel and book?
At the local college bookstore probably. . . .
I want graphs!
Damn it, I was so rooting for The Sad British Man.😣
The content is not new, but you put so much effort and so many special effects into an explaining video!
2:41 Run denzel Run.
Yes, its about Will Smith.
@truTV Can you do a Adam Ruins Everything on Honorary Doctorates?
Speak so I can understand, please.
This is such a great channel to watch!!!!!
So awesome to see the always impressive Ray Wise. He's just made for sleazy fat cat monologues :-)
It's not without reason he edged out Al Pacino as my favorite actor to play Satan himself (seen in the TV-series Reaper).
That explains Titanic. 11 Oscars for a movie about a sinking ship.
You do know it was about a real sinking ship, right?
You don't say?
So the fact that it was based on real event actually increases the prouction value?
No. A high studio budget increases the production value. A sappy love story thrown into a real-world event is what hypnotizes a clueless audience into believing it's the best movie ever made. As you can probably tell, I'm not a fan of the film.
Conow Yi I wasn't saying it does, it just sounded like he didn't know about the actual event. I personally don't like it as well
that House of Cards reference, though...
ty true tv for posting this
The funniest part of this is are the nominees. Just take a minute to really read their names.
This makes entertainment look like our democracy.
Also, I heard that Oscars aim to make LA the only centre of film, which is why foreign shows rarely win, despite being better quality: Wallace and Gromit from the UK, the various anime films from Japan etc
i love this series!
1:13-Aaaahh,so is just lobbying again!
At 3:38 The US president from C&C:Red Alert 2
YES! I knew I remembered him from somewhere!
shankar reddy The dad from Twin Peaks
…
Is the guy in the foreground "The Devil"(from Reaper)?
Really puts into perspective why most Oscar nominated movies are so boring that they have not even been watched by 90% of cinema-going audience.
According to the so-called professional movie critics we have low standard
Not even not just watched by 90% of movie watchers but not even heard of by 90% of people.
"MONEY CAN'T ACT!"
Neither can Adam.
I knew there was something fishy going on, I just couldn't put my finger on it until now. This is why I really wish peoples' choice-type awards would become more popular.
I can't imagine that the Academy, which is full of actors, cinematographers, directors, producers, etc. with deep roots in the industry, legitimately JUST votes for whoever bribed them with the best swag. It's entirely possible to take the gifts and invites and maintain your own opinion. I mean voting is anonymous right?
I'm sure campaigning does sway people's perception of which actors and films deserve to win but I doubt it's as simple as money = undying loyalty and guaranteed votes. These people are already rich.
Oh jeez it's Laura Palmer's dad! And he's really old now!
He was also in God's Not Dead 2
That movie got a sequel? How?!
He's also one of the gang in Robocop.
Really? I remember him as President Michael Dugan from Red Alert 2.
Nathan Eskin Leland!
great you are back, i like your show
And this is why the oscar makes everyone surprised every single time.
I thought awards were won based on how much they blatantly pander to what the Academy likes, not how much they pay them to like it.
A movie based on a true story about a black handicapped Holocaust survivor making a movie seems like it would be perfect Oscar bait.
That also counts. Most of the voters probably don't like the idea that their vote is essentially bought. They want to believe that their choice is also a "correct" one. So, they get these overly sanctimonious, "socially conscious", "world changing stories that need to be told".
Oops rong comment lol
I mean that might work with stuff like the Oscars, but other awards like the Golden Globes or SAG etc. are more commerically focused, at least relatively.
I hope you weren't kidding about the gel and Graphs
The shade LOL
this is amazing
THis depressed me
I think the only awards that are real are the academy awards since it's based off peers
MrTHEMONEEMAKER huh? the oscars is NOT at all a real award show.....
Dude? I never said it was
MrTHEMONEEMAKER "i think the obly awards that are real are the academy awards"??????
Yea do you see the word oscar in there?
But a lot of time there are Breakout movies that were completely unexpected...
Also, the foreign language film oscar for example is not determined by money at all...
God bless you Adam
5:12 "...and the studio for always putting my needs first", this part is missing from the subtitles.
thanks to this now I'm not as furious about Dune not winning Best Picture
Lol screw Dune! 🍷😆
Anyone else think of this segment after seeing how many Emmy nominations the final season of Game of Thrones got?
""Like Crash and....better movies."
🤣🤣🤣🤣
the footnotes are genius.
4:47 I a, actually interested in that book...stats nerd alert.
So Will Smith gave tons of money to get to slap The Host and Laugh about it on his Acceptance Speech
.. While not getting thrown out of the premise yes.. BINGO that actually makes sense! 🍷👍👍
I perked up at 4:47 when I heard the It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia music.
man Adam is a real shoe in for that award with those gifts
This is how everything works. The best films, music, books, art will rarely be seen and never win any awards. Money buys it's own adulation, and humans are the easiest animals to buy off that have ever existed.
So thats why DiCaprio FINALLY got his Oscar 😂
That black guy in the hat and glasses was adorable honestly.
@ 3:35 It's Preisident Dugan from Command and Conquer Red Alert 2.
Wow. It's like the electoral college for movies
Hell or High Water didn't win anything of meaning.
That to me said all that had to be said about the Academy "Awards".
I really like these
Nobody :
Tree larson: is that a personal compliment or something
You know what other award show is rigged? The Kids Choice Awards.
Seriously, picking SpongeBob over Gravity Falls? That's a rigged result if I ever saw one. Most kids don't even really like SpongeBob that much.
Totally rigged. I think one year Spongebob had one new episode aired but somehow still won. I wouldnt be shocked if Ubisoft pays Nickelodeon to have Just Dance win best Video Game every time, especially over Breath of the Wild in 2018.
The thing is though, the KCAs are based on user votes, so there's no way they could be rigged. Probably a lot of people vote for Spongebob by default because its what they most recognize. But that doesn't make it "rigged".
idk considering how mickelodeon has had a tendancy to spam spongebob in long ass marathons I wouldn't be shocked if the kids still voted for it.
@@computerkid1416
It's completely possible to rig user votes.
They could have their staff running the polls fudge the numbers, they could use bots to run up whichever show they want to win, or heck, they could just ignore the results entirely and show whatever numbers they want.
I'm not saying they actually do any of this, just using examples to show its possible to rig user voted contests.
geez, it's almost like lobbying damn near makes the world go round... nothing gets done anymore unless you're kissing someone's ass :/
You got that right bro. Happens with everything!
Gotta love the appearance from Leland Palmer towards the end of this video!
Thanks for you book Adam, here’s your vote
So true! Hell they still act like animated movies are for kids even though many anime movies are better then many Hollywood movies
Let me ruin this "Adam Ruins the Oscars" just a little bit: Yes, actors and showbiz people campaign for Oscars and awards *BUT* they don't do it completely out of ego. As people know, the entertainment industry is a cutthroat business where employment is anything but steady. So if your indie film or prestige film gets good reviews, Oscar buzz/nomination or even a win can get you steady employment and financial stability especially if you're just a newcomer or someone who's struggling to get by. Awards buzz can get you a higher profile which leads to more jobs and bigger paychecks. It's basically networking but other people are watching.
That's what I got from the video - a nom gets more sales
This's so trueeee
Yup. And my dude's in here!!!!
Makes me feel a little better that I don't watch award shows. I always found them to be like dog shows with people. Only thing missing are collars and leashes.
So uhh.. How do i become a voter?
rexpwnzer be rich and make a movie, then give your life savings to other rich people to sway their vote in your nomination.
Become someone who works in the film industry and join that particular guild. For the Oscars specifically, you then have to be sponsored by two current members to have any chance of being admitted. Or, become a movie critic, and join one of those award organizations.
I love that one of the best Devil actors plays the corrupt campaigner...
4:56 I want that book
