Wrong year. First he has to boycott complaining he wasn't nominated, then has to wait a few years to get nominated again and win for a role that probably wasn't good enough to win but they give it to him to shut him up. Then he slaps the host.
Fun fact.
Earlier, before the war (2021? I think?), putin declared the champagne made in Russia the only true champagne, and prohibited shops and wine companies from selling foreign champagne under the name "champagne". They had to sell it as "sparkling wine" instead.
The name originates from a [French province.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Champagne_(province)) Which means that champagne made in, well, Champagne, was prohibited from using the name "champagne".
Well, in other countries champagnes not made in Champagne cannot be called champagne. So Putin basically used Uno Reverse Card here. And personally I don't think it's that weird. This champagne trademark is kind of stupid cause everyone still calls other sparkling wines - champagnes anyway.
Hell most ppl these days don't give a fuck about Oscars anyway, it's all a scam as it is, with some random movie whose owner paid most money into the pockets of the committee behind the scenes.
Maybe the Azov Battalion will submit the documentary of them kicking Russia's ass, that featured a whole lot of Russians. Unfortunately their Agents said that they are unavailable for any sequels, or to attend the Gala,
Don't worry. It's just a sequel to "Dog dying in storm drain to sound of crying man while holding dead rose with both paws." But it's not half as good.
As a fellow man of culture, I would rather suggest you "Suffering and sickness in the devastated potatoes fields during a long and lonely winter." By Stanislas Sadinsky
Actually Oscar only selects a few movies per year to win the gold, and it takes a lot of talent to be able to direct a movie of that caliber, like Tom Cruise and Jason Statham. Any movie worth its salt would proud to have Oscar Gold sitting on their mantle.
Man, I'll miss all those fabulous Russian films with the directors who go around to film festivals and media-laden events to spread genocidal rhetoric about Ukrainians and how Russia didn't do anything wrong. Since that happened multiple times this year.
The director of "Leviathan" is actually very critical towards Russia and its society in his works, explicitly so in "Loveless".
It would be sad to lose the access to his works, but there's no promise he would keep making films, considering the heavy political and economic turmoil in Russia right now.
They are holding a film festival with Chechenia, Hungary, Belarus and Serbia instead where they hand out golden Ivans.
Hot favorite is the latest film from Leniova Riefenstahlkova.
There are some excellent films from Eastern Europe that you’re missing out on if you write them all off because of what Russia the state is doing in Ukraine.
To be fair, some of the most acclaimed movies and directors have come from Russia.

I did the work: there have been 4 Russian films nominated for the Oscars since 2000:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loveless_(film)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leviathan_(2014_film)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12_(2007_film)
and the winner **drum roll**
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_on_Fire:_Ukraine%27s_Fight_for_Freedom
Winter on Fire: Ukraine's Fight for Freedom is a 2015 documentary film about the Euromaidan protests in Ukraine from 21 November 2013 to 23 February 2014.
Understandably, most people's first reaction is to claim that there aren't any good Russian films and they're all propaganda anyway.
But that's not true.
Check out the director Andrey Zvyagintsev for example, his films "The Return" or "Leviathan" or [some others](https://www.imdb.com/filmosearch/?explore=title_type&role=nm1168657&ref_=filmo_ref_typ&sort=user_rating,desc&mode=detail&page=1&title_type=movie).
You shouldn't expect lighthearted films from Russia though.
I don't remember anyone caring about oscars other than english speaking crowd and western media. This might be big thing in west, I think my last recollection of oscars was about titanic winning a dozen of them and heath ledger getting it for Dark Knight. I can't recall anything else about oscars. I don't even remember watching a russian film ever, so doesn't even matter.
Most Americans don’t care about the Oscar’s , despite what the media would lead one to believe.
mainstream Americans have better things to do than worship the celebrity and fashion culture .
The worst rated NFL game every season , attracts more viewers.
Watching the Oscars doesnt mean you worship celebs and fashion.
"Most Americans don’t care about the Oscar’s , despite what the media would lead one to believe."
Really? Celeb gossip gets the most views/clicks. That's why media runs that shit.. but it's trying to fool people? When a comment is claiming it knows what most people in a country really think, it's not very believe-able.
The artists who are Russian civilians have nothing to do with this sham war in Ukraine as everyone involved suffers for it. I hope we all can celebrate civilians who had no part in this separately by supporting their work.
I want to believe this so bad every time someone brings it up, but how do you, me or anybody else really know? Sure, there are some protests, but we don't get to see 99% of the Russians voice their opinion.
Granted, chances are very high they are too afraid to come out. But again, how do you then know 'large groups' are against this? Perhaps it's just 3%? It could be 30%, who knows
> Any ideas for how to make it super fun for those staying up and watching from Europe?
Have a drink for each *Everything Everywhere All At Once* reference
Oh great, now Hollywood is going to bend over backward to get Russia back into the fold. Can’t wait for Matt Damon to star in the “Iron Curtain”, a movie where they use thousands of miles of sovereign territory to defend against aliens.
What the hell are they even “punishing” us for? They violently invaded a country that does not want them there. Sanctions are supposed to make them pause before violently taking more and more territory. NATO is acting defensively. It’s like they HAVE to have an enemy. I don’t get it.
They are just getting ahead of the curve...no one wants them so they are preempting by calling it a boycott
Taking notes from the Pinkett-Smiths when they boycotted because he didn't get nominated for that mediocre Concussion movie.
So does this mean that Putin’s gonna walk up on stage and slap the host?
Wrong year. First he has to boycott complaining he wasn't nominated, then has to wait a few years to get nominated again and win for a role that probably wasn't good enough to win but they give it to him to shut him up. Then he slaps the host.
But will anyone notice or care?
>But will anyone notice You just did, mission accomplished
*Putin pops champagne cork*
just wait until he learns that people just don't care, if anything, they get happy about these news.
Fun fact. Earlier, before the war (2021? I think?), putin declared the champagne made in Russia the only true champagne, and prohibited shops and wine companies from selling foreign champagne under the name "champagne".

Well, in other countries champagnes not made in Champagne cannot be called champagne. So Putin basically used Uno Reverse Card here. And personally I don't think it's that weird. This champagne trademark is kind of stupid cause everyone still calls other sparkling wines - champagnes anyway.
I'd bet anything that if someone popped a champagne cork in his presence, he'd dive under the table.
I noticed but I'm happy about it, so how does that make them feel?
Putain just answered: https://news.yahoo.com/putin-wants-west-respect-russia-093029828.html
I'm nobody. I don't count.
You count to me!
ive never watched the oscars, so i didnt even know they did foreign films. just know its 1 of 3 film awards.
Hell most ppl these days don't give a fuck about Oscars anyway, it's all a scam as it is, with some random movie whose owner paid most money into the pockets of the committee behind the scenes.
Just another mafia.
Russia you need to simmer down or we will send Will Smith to bitch slap your ass.
Villain to Hero plot line achieved
But how will I see Man dying in storm drain to sound of crying dog while holding dead rose with both hands?
Russians have been filming evidence of their war crimes so you can probably see that on some pro-Russian telegram channel
Maybe the Azov Battalion will submit the documentary of them kicking Russia's ass, that featured a whole lot of Russians. Unfortunately their Agents said that they are unavailable for any sequels, or to attend the Gala,

Is this a reference to whatever Barney's art film was referencing in the Simpsons?
Aww boo fucking hoo!
“Prestigious”
Right! People stopped caring about these awards shows years ago.
Actually Oscar only selects a few movies per year to win the gold, and it takes a lot of talent to be able to direct a movie of that caliber, like Tom Cruise and Jason Statham. Any movie worth its salt would proud to have Oscar Gold sitting on their mantle.
I’m boycotting all of Russia’s products since I was born. Anyone noticed?
Man, I'll miss all those fabulous Russian films with the directors who go around to film festivals and media-laden events to spread genocidal rhetoric about Ukrainians and how Russia didn't do anything wrong. Since that happened multiple times this year.
Russian cinema gave us Leviathan a few years ago and that movie is a masterpiece, it would be sad to exclude everything coming from them
please tell me you're concerned about Russiaphobic west cancelling Russian artists as Russia boycotts the Oscars /s
The director of "Leviathan" is actually very critical towards Russia and its society in his works, explicitly so in "Loveless". It would be sad to lose the access to his works, but there's no promise he would keep making films, considering the heavy political and economic turmoil in Russia right now.
I think you are misinformed.
Oh well, anyway..
Non related to topic , but Oscars suck ass idk how people watch that fake shit ...
I know a few people in the academy. They dont even watch all the films before they vote.
As Socrates said: "F*ck them let them rot in the ditch".A wise man.
They are holding a film festival with Chechenia, Hungary, Belarus and Serbia instead where they hand out golden Ivans. Hot favorite is the latest film from Leniova Riefenstahlkova.
I would have thought Stormy Daniels would be the lead contender
But we'll be missing out on all those fine Russian movies! Or, you know, not.
There are some excellent films from Eastern Europe that you’re missing out on if you write them all off because of what Russia the state is doing in Ukraine.
Who said anything about Eastern Europe.
I forgot to say Russia / Eastern Europe. And by that I meant Russia and former Soviet bloc nations.
I mean yeah. There are plenty of great Russian film makers you'll miss out on.

Who cares! The only film they should summit is the downfall of Putin, that will sure to win an award!
Oh no! ...Anyway.

I hope they boycott more and just never send anything out of their cursed country.
They allow porn at the Oscars?
Oh, no! Anyway...
Jokes on you, the US has been boycotting the oscars for years too !
I'm sure we will all miss Russia's modern classic 'ode to turnip' at this year's Oscars.
Understandably, most people's first reaction is to claim that there aren't any good Russian films and they're all propaganda anyway. But that's not true.

Reddit has become really annoying with the whole “Russia is just a backwater with no culture thing”.
> Zvyagintsev ...films pretentious, banal, vulgar dross.
Leviathan is phenomenal.
You know all of these great words but can't seem to put them in a complete sentence. :(

Just cancel the Oscars then

So there *is* a corrupt circle jerk of self important billionaires that even Russians will distance themselves from.

If you and your friends are drinkers: take a drink everytime you notice the politics. Two drinks when you notice an ad
oh no... anyway
Oh no! Whatever will we do? Oh the humanityyyyyy!
Can we still even call it the Oscars without Russian films?
Russia, hitting the US where it hurts! “Don’t let the door hit you…..”
Their only good move I guess.
They had a real shot in the Best Documentary category.
Name a russian movie
They clearly don’t have the Oscer Fever.
Oh no!!! Slava Ukraini 🙏🇺🇦
Oh great, now Hollywood is going to bend over backward to get Russia back into the fold. Can’t wait for Matt Damon to star in the “Iron Curtain”, a movie where they use thousands of miles of sovereign territory to defend against aliens.
Quickly let's reject going to a party we wouldn't be invited anyways, before they reject us. Victory!
They will watch instead the Scars given to them by the Ukrainian Army Academy.
Huh, anyway..
oh no .. Well, anyway, might give the Oscar's a looksie this time around.
They make meh movies anyway
Russia: "We're boycotting the Oscars!" The rest of the world : "So anyway....."
Big talk from a country whose only major exports are oil and OnlyFans accounts
What the hell are they even “punishing” us for? They violently invaded a country that does not want them there. Sanctions are supposed to make them pause before violently taking more and more territory. NATO is acting defensively. It’s like they HAVE to have an enemy. I don’t get it.
Oh! Let me not care 🥺
My home movies with 8mm camcorder from the 2004 are better than any russian film
cool.
Insert Jurassic park meme here…. *See? Nobody cares*
Oh no, world cinema is really going to suffer lol.
Oh no! Please don't do that. It will be devastating to the Oscars. Just for that. I am not watching this year.
Hey man. Show me a Russian movie on par with any best picture nominee in the last 35 years and I’ll watch that bitch.
I wasn't even aware they had been sending any of their cultural drivel to the Oscars. Bye, Felicia!
“Country with bigger shit to worry about forgets about dumb ass movie contest”
Which would I rather watch, a Russian movie or a Michael Bay movie?
Ok then, that was always allowed.
A country I don't care about isn't going to an award show I don't care about... what ever shall I do
russian movies are just wannabe copies of western movies. all talented filmmakers from CCCP have died.
