And the explanation will show that he's not just talking out of his ass and he knows what he's saying. It gets upvoted because it's valuable and proves his point that previously had no evidence.

I just didn't want to go a whole unprovoked film-related discourse in my first comment. We're in a buy nba 2k20 mt coins forum and besides that I didn't think anyone actually cared this much.

Questioning anything Kobe-related in a Kobe thread just gets downvotes. It's the same with LeBron and a few MJ ones. Oh well.

I didn't need to watch the other films to know Kobe's was not impressive at all. I was kind of blown away that was Oscar material. It was just him saying, "first I wanted to play, then I did play, now I don't". About the depth of something I'd submit for creative writing in grade school, but with a professional animator.

No, it was downvoted because it was a ridiculous and baseless comment. He didn't make any great points in the other one either. He didn't prove anything. He expanded on his opinion and explained why he thought the other nominees were better (which is a perfectly fine opinion btw), but that's the thing with art. It's subjective.

While you might not particularly care for it, Dear Basketball isnt a meritless winner. It's visually strong and there's an added layer of sentimentality because of how great his career was. Literally nothing in that comment backed up his claim that Dear Basketball won the award because of "celebrity pandering."

Agree. And let’s be real; the Luka Doncic NBA 2k20 entire concept of the Oscars inherently pander to celebrities. It’s not as if Kobe is a bigger celebrity than those who have won Oscars before.

Garden Party and Negative Space were my favorites, Dear Basketball I thought was the worst of all of them except maybe Lou. Art style was pretty cool but absolutely devoid of content. It was even worse than some of the honorable mentions like Lost Property Office imo.
