On Tuesday morning, Mel Gibson's critically-acclaimed war drama Hacksaw Ridge scored six Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director. The movie stars Andrew Garfield as real-life war hero and conscientious objector Desmond Doss, who saved 75 people during the Battle of Okinawa in World War II. Hacksaw Ridge is supposed to be fantastic.

But the cluster of A-grade nods to the film are about more than cinematic excellence — they're a clear and disturbing sign that Hollywood has officially pardoned the man behind the movie.

Not only are they angry, they are jealous that he is more talented than 95% of them.

Anybody else besides Gibson would have made up a black guy somewhere in there.

I hope he wins; that's going to be one hell of an acceptance speech.

I wonder how that asshat feels about "pardoning" Roman Polanski, a child raping fiend?

But I thought Hollywood was anti black listing & for judging a film and stars on their merits?

That only applies to child-rapists, Jews and communists apparently. White Christian men have to apologize for life and not leave the house during daytime or enter the state of California.

I would be surprised if this movie wins any awards. I think they just nominated it to get Mel to come to the show and have to listen to three hours of them shitting on Republicans, Trump, and white people. This is nothing but an elaborate troll job by the academy.

Yet the same people would applaud a Polanski film.

Well in reality, the left is more anti-Semitic than Mel Gibson ever was. But then again liberals don't live in reality.

Just watched Gibson on that Close Up with the Hollywood Reporter round table show on Sundance. He's still out of it. If he gets up to accept an award, strap yourself in. It's going to be insane.

Well, since this is a world renowned actor, someone who has put out some great movies throughout his time, and what he did was although drunk and racist, not a crime like im sure you pin on lots of other people in that crowd.
