Raalsalghul: Like in most things, there are bound to be outliers. |

Then Will Smith would have an Oscar VerifiedStalin: |

MJBOLT: At the time of the nominations, they were. Denzel and Whittaker were a big deal in the African-American community back in the day. |

VerifiedStalin: I'm not talking about outliers, I'm talking about actors that have won based on merit and not popularity or propaganda. At the end of the day, it's all about perception, however this doesn't change the fact that the Oscars is the most prestigious award in Hollywood in spite of its many controversies. Case in point: Adrien Brody won for best actor at age 29 when he was a nobody. |

Will Smith was already popular as the Fresh Prince,He collected Grammy Awards under that name plus the fact that Fresh Prince of Bel Air was popular in the 90s , there's no way those guys were more popular than him unless you can prove it. There's also Tom Cruise who is yet to get one Oscar despite his popularity even Leonardo DiCaprio should have more than 3 Oscars if we use your logic. VerifiedStalin: |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Raalsalghul: 11:38am On Oct 15, 2021 |
VerifiedStalin: I would have to agree with this, somehow Denzel is more respected and recognized in the African-American community when compared to Will Smith. 1 Like |

Raalsalghul: Lmao. The Oscars has always been more about popularity, wokeness, and influence and less about Merit. • Marlon Brando won best actor for The Godfather when it should have been Al Pacino. • Dicaprio winning an Oscar for The Revenant is undeserved. Should have won it earlier with The Wolf of Wallstreet. I guess it's their way of compensating him for the snubbery. • The Gladiator is a great film, but Russel Crowe performance isn't Oscar worthy, but he won it anyway, IMHO, Joaquin Phoenix is more deserving of the award, but hey, he wasn't a fan favorite, I guess. I could go on and on. There have been many instances where actors and films won Oscars based on virtue signalling coupled with popularity more than merit. 4 Likes |

VerifiedStalin: Nobody is arguing the bold with you, granted that there are many projects/talents whose wins were pushed by propaganda/popularity, we also have other instances that were based on merit. It's a mixture of both!!! I could also start giving you examples of those that were well deserved. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by VerifiedStalin: 11:53am On Oct 15, 2021 |
MJBOLT: I've so much to say but little time to say them, this is why I don't like to argue, it's a back and forth that's time consuming and goes nowhere, so I'm gonna say let's agree to disagree. |

MJBOLT: Popular in the hiphop scene but a hollywood B lister in the 90s, meanwhile, Mazi Forest Whitaker and Denzel Washington (esp Denzel) were A listers in Hollywood in the 90s and mid 2000s. Smith only became an A lister in the early 2000s. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by VerifiedStalin: 2:40pm On Oct 15, 2021 |
pu7pl3: I hereby nominate you to argue on my behalf, minion. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Raalsalghul: 2:46pm On Oct 15, 2021 |
DandeNumeruno: Wrong! Smith became an A-list in the Mid 90s most especially after the success of Bad Boys (1995) and Independence Day (1996). 1 Like |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by DandeNumeruno(m): 2:51pm On Oct 15, 2021 |
Raalsalghul: Nah, Ali (2001) launched him as a leading man in Hollywood. |

DandeNumeruno: What was he in Bad Boys and Independence Day? Supporting cast? 5 Likes |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by DandeNumeruno(m): 3:07pm On Oct 15, 2021 |
Raalsalghul: Bro, you can play a major character in a blockbuster or two and still remain a B lister. A rise to the top is gradual. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Raalsalghul: 3:09pm On Oct 15, 2021 |
DandeNumeruno: And you can also be a leading man while languishing in the C list. Before we even continue this conversation, what's your definition of an A lister? |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by VerifiedStalin: 3:15pm On Oct 15, 2021 |
DandeNumeruno: You were doing great until you ruined everything with the bolded.

Raalsalghul: A lister = A leading man A leading man ≠ A lister |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by DandeNumeruno(m): 3:25pm On Oct 15, 2021 |
VerifiedStalin: Well, that's an opinion, it's not written in stone. As far as I'm concern, his A list career started with Ali (2001). |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by VerifiedStalin: 3:29pm On Oct 15, 2021 |
DandeNumeruno: Okay. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by VerifiedStalin: 3:31pm On Oct 15, 2021 |
DandeNumeruno: Something is wrong with your math. According to your comments, it should be... A lister = A leading man A leading man ≠ A lister. Correct me if I'm wrong. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by DandeNumeruno(m): 3:33pm On Oct 15, 2021 |
VerifiedStalin: You're right, I got it mixed up. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Raalsalghul: 3:41pm On Oct 15, 2021 |
DandeNumeruno: So where will you classify actors like Samuel L Jackson? |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by DandeNumeruno(m): 3:46pm On Oct 15, 2021 |
Raalsalghul: Samuel Jackson was an A lister. In his younger days, he used to lead or co lead, now he supports. He's 70 ish so it's understandable. |
