moonlight winning was not justice for brokeback mountain and carol

it was justice for the color purple

yall i am fuckin heated rn

the color purple was nominated for 10(11?) oscars and won ZERO. not a single fuckin oscar despite being critically acclaimed by like, everybody at the time in 1985. not even a goddamn pity oscar for this movie w an entirely black cast adapted from one of the seminal womanist novels written by a black wlw about black wlw struggles and survivor stories

it’s still tied for the record of most nominations for a film without a single win

but pls continue writing these weak and fucked narratives of “lgbt movies” not historically winning until moonlight without including one of the most infamous snubs in oscar history bc it was a black movie. pls tell me more about how moonlight winning is “justice” for your lily white gay movies w not 1 black person in them.
