Is "Race" the most Oscar-baiting film of all time?

Personally I feel like having a movie about racism whose tag line is "YOURE WHITE YOU DONT UNDERSTAND" and calling it "Race" is a touch on the nose
Smart play by the producers to rev up the media plays after the current academy controversy

I can't take seriously any drama which has Schmitty from It's Always Sunny as a main character

Of ALL the roles Jason Sudeikis has had over he yeas, this is the one you associate him with?

I laughed my arse off so hard when literally no one was nominated for this movie. The tools that made this movie thought it was a shoehorn in for Best Picture win, and didn't get a single nomination.

At least that was a good movie though.

White people should boycott it.

Exactly. It had a story to tell. There is nothing about the Butler that indicates they wanted to tell a story. They had the main character's parents raped and murdered by people from a different state. Turns out that none of that remotely happened. As any historian would put it, the only thing that movie has in common with history is there was a black butler in the White House at the time. Everything else is a lie. Glad the Academy saw the bullshite and didn't even grant these racists a nomination for this racist film.

Apparently some of you are confusing race-baiting with Oscar-baiting with a racial context.
Mississippi Burning and Crash are both very good films.

Uh, it was a true story. Like it or not, those men were actually murdered by the POS's in that movie.

Oscar bait?
It is coming out in the dead season where studios just unload their garbage and hope to make a little money back on movies they know didn't work out.

War Horse is more Oscar bait than Mississippi Burning - Burning is just a damn good movie with an important story to tell.
War Horse was Spielberg at his Norman Rockwell best - pure cotton candy to tug at the heart strings.

I agree about War Horse. What was the plot? Antagonist? Protagonist?
