Lol I definitely did. :sas1:

And I still think you're underestimating Selma and the push it will undoubtedly get once it drops everywhere next week. Plus the social relevance of it. Not saying it'll be boyhood but I wouldnt be shocked

Mudslinging about accuracy won't scare voters. Especially since the context is still on point. And obviously people have to give way for dramatic license and what more does Hollywood love than standing up for dramatic license?

Lol don't start that guilt thing breh. If the movie wins it'll be on its merits not because of guilt. It has the one thing going for it which I love: it encapsulates the year.
