Sean Penn accuses Academy Awards of cowardice at Marrakech Film Festival

“They too can be as afraid as a piddly little Republican congressman.”

Love it.

It’s a free country. He’s welcome to find movies on his own.

What an amazing news story.

The ridiculous Sean Penn's opinion of the Academy Awards.

Bravo for journalism.

I agree with him. Ever since Benicio del Toro's masterpiece 'Che' was snubbed and ignored by both the Golden Globes and The Oscars, I find it exceedingly difficult to have any interest in the modern era of Hollywood being lorded over by American conservatism that sees nothing new or innovative, but simply just rehashing previously made movies and pretending it's something new. This is why Japan and Korea lead the way in entertainment in the 21st century!

We can say what we want about Sean and his past, but he has greatly matured (as a person and in film) and he has come a LOOOOOONG way since 'Fast Times' in 1982.

He's taken sassy lip from critics for his docus on the waste and pointlessness of the Iraq war, which the karma chameleons of America now disavow. He's also spent over a year in Haiti doing humanitarian relief after that horrible earthquake.

The movie industry is full of regurgitated and recycled trash. But Sean is smart and we need to recognize that.

Am I the only one to actually think that the Academy is just too woke and anti-Republican?

Celebrate anti-intellectualism and reap the consequences.
