Yes. No amount of placating the gods will make any difference. And blood sacrifice is absolutely pointless 
According to a survey no Icelanders under 25 believe God created the world or the Universe. Will this become universal?

Halle Berry is the only black actress to have won an oscar. It is rare I agree with Spike but the nomination choice this year was piss poor to say the least.
BIB - a joke surely??

No but I have never seen that Does it happen more in GD??
I meant that in theory, of course most nominees could be black in future years, if it so happened they were the most deserving of the award. Not being a cinema goer I am not familiar with the films up for oscars but I know the panel are mostly white men. Having faith in humanity I would hope this wouldn't skew the noms as that would suggest the panel was racist, which hopefully isn't the case.
What I don't know however is if the films chosen featured black actors or not....never been that interested in awards ceremonies, who chooses the films?

Star Wars isn't nominated. Didn't think you had seen it either
Out of those nominated I would say it would be Joy or The Big Short (both good, Joy not nominated! ) or The Revenant (not yet seen )...
So... from:-
The Big Short
Bridge of Spies
Brooklyn
Mad Max: Fury Road
The Martian
The Revenant
Room
Spotlight
Which will win??
