I have not seen it, but in these unprecedented times, it doesn't matter if it is good, it has to win.

IMO, Watchmen was good, but not that good. It is sad that something good, but not great, is the best of the bunch. We have taken to watching European, Japanese, and Korean dramas during this time of too much time in front of the TV, and many of them are way better than Watchmen.

That you have to explain to me, because I don't get your criteria for evaluating a media. You have not seen it and therefore you can't really properly review it, but the quality doesn't matter to you anyway, because you sympathize with its political and social views and therefore it has to win regardless of its quality?! What kind of statement is that?

Basically, @proxy is saying that since it stars a Black female lead character and shows examples of the real horrors of White racism in US history, it probably is not very good, but it will win because of "Affirmative Action" not because of good acting and a compelling story.

I see. Thanks for the clarification and sorry. I misunderstood the intention of his post. I guess, I would even agree to that.
