seminoles1 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 https://www.theringer.com/2017/11/7/16618766/critics-associations-protest-disney-blackout-los-angeles-times So last week Disney barred the LA Times from screening their movies beforehand because they didn't like a story the LA Times published about the relationship between Disneyland and the city of Anaheim. Now, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, the New York Film Critics Circle, the Boston Society of Film Critics, and the National Society of Film Critics have banned all Disney films, which includes all Marvel, Lucasfilm, and Pixar movies, from their awards ceremonies. Pretty much every top critic in the country has spoken out against Disney for this move. Ava Duvarney, who directed A Wrinkle in Time for Disney that is due out in March 2018, seems to have sided with the critics as well. Thoughts? Could more critic or award organizations ban Disney? Will Disney eventually cave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awards are nice for DVD and Blu-ray covers at most to them. Disney will create it's own awards ceremony before they cave. It's how Walt would have done it.

Acgott Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Its always about the Benjamins. Coco comes out in 2 weeks. They don't want any controversies for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom cody Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Interesting, looks like it was resolved but given Disney's so well known. An award is more or less nothing next to the money the movies from Disney makes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvert28 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Journalists, media companies. I could care less if both dropped off the face of the Earth. Most are self-entitled D-bags anyways. Same for those who work for Disney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
