Verschillende Amerikaanse filmcritici hebben hun ongenoegen geüit met de Oscaroverwinning van Peter Farrelly’s Green Book. Die versloeg onder meer Alfonso Cuaróns Roma in de categorie Beste Film.

Velen moeten denken aan hoe Paul Haggis’ Crash in 2006 Ang Lee’s Brokeback Mountain aftroefde. Zowel Green Book als Crash gaan namelijk op controversiële wijze om met racisme en haalden het van een arthouse-favoriet.

No one is happier than Paul Haggis right now.

remember that this is the same organization that gave its top honor to “Crash” – so not surprising but still, fuck it

Green Book is the Crash that happens when you are Driving Miss Daisy and miss your Blind Side. #oscars

Congratulations to Crash on no longer being the go-to reference for the Oscars fucking up.
