- and Hardy? -- nm - LMS Jan 21, 09:50 2
  - I think Hardy is under recognized in general, but I have not seen Revenant so can't comment specifically here -- nm - ty97 Jan 21, 09:57 1

- I will freely admit there are still miles to go to equality/parity both at an Oscar level and most importantly, an industry level - Will Hunting Jan 21, 09:22 7

Idris Elba's speech on diversity yesterday to parliament was good. - LMS Jan 21, 09:14 40

    - To what end? Should more whites get NAACP Image awards too? - con_carne Jan 21, 10:30

  - I think you're selling the audience short. TFA did alright. -- nm - LMS Jan 21, 09:26
  - I disagree. When I hear about a new movie I first ask what it is about, not who is in it. -- nm - Spawn Jan 21, 09:25 3
    - I have to call BS on this a little bit. When we discuss new movies on ST, it always revolves around who is the lead actor. -- nm - con_carne Jan 21, 09:35 1

      - It's all a big formula, actor A = $x at box office, therefore budget can be £y. And they don't like risk. -- nm - LMS Jan 21, 09:34 1

        And Robin! (I was feeling bad for DC as everything was Marvel) -- nm - Beaker Jan 21, 09:32 1
