What Do You Think About The Academy's Choices For Best Film?

The choices for best film have always been biased since the dawn of time. Jason Statham was asked what he thought about his career and his reply was that he knew he would never get an academy award for doing action movies. Action movies generally aren't considered "Culturally Significant" and therefore are unfairly snubbed along with comedy. In my opinion it should be whatever film was the best of the year, not films with acceptable content or cheesy tear jerkers. It is atrocious to me that the Dark Knight was thrown away. If Heath Ledger doesn't get some kind of an award for that movie there will be a full scale riot all over. I'm not just saying this because of Heath's death but the Dark Knight was the best film of 2008 and throwing it away just because it is an action movie and not even looking at how amazing it was is unacceptable to me. I love movies of all genres and years but I never watch academy awards or anything because back to 1930 with Gone with the Wind actor Clark Gable not getting anything I choose not to watch these biased and bullshit awards.
