the_moviebob MakeIt Maybe... *gasp* the male made movies were better? Not because they were made by guys but because they were just better movies. Sorry joker was better than little women there

MakeIt She's acting like a petulant child over being snubbed over a movie that's been done half a dozen times already. Little Women 2019 isn't groundbreaking save the stupid woke elements because AGE OF TRUMP, y'all

MakeIt Beat way to show the Oscars2020_ is for women to boycott. Half empty seats would send a statement.

MakeIt I thought Academy Awards were given to the best of the best, why would your sex make you think otherwise?

MakeIt Wake up in the morning.. Cry.. Just go to Mars and create your own Hollywood and do the same to men.. Ergo a good revenge story

MakeIt They're not.... when they're actually good movies

MakeIt You don't deserve an award just because you're a woman. Please stop. That movie has been made 6 times already. You're not special, LittleWomen isn't unique.
