porn

[dropgoal3]

should it be allowed into the oscars and other prestigeus film awards as they are entertainment.

[roomster]

what a stupid question

[Kay]

no!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dropgoal3]

why not

[Kay]

Because its Porn,,duh.

[dropgoal3]

so the people in the are actors and actresses and work for there money (probably very hard).

I thought the whole point of hard core pornography was that the participants were not acting.

I don't think such films will ever be a part of the Oscars ceremony because the USA is quite a puritanical country, excepting California and New York, and the it wouldn't make good business sense for the network TV channels to include them.

The French are far more likely to combine porn with their mainstream cinema at the Cannes Film Festival. The French have already allowed 'hard core' to become part of the mainstream with a number of films by Catherine Breillat and the violent and hardcore film from the year, 2000, 'Baise-Moi', all being released in ordinary cinemas.

Personally, I would prefer the porn industry to stay separate, but that's a personal preference.

There are special award ceremonies for porn films/actors aren't there?

No, porn actors/actresses or films shouldn't be allowed at the Oscars because Oscars are for the finest actors/films ~ porn *stars* are lousy actors. I still reckon I could do better ;o)

I thought the whole point of the Oscars is that they are for cinema feature films, not straight to DVD porn.

[shazbang]

to add to the above - the porn industry have their own annual awards ceremony. seen a documentary on it once.

[dropgoal3]

but there are loads of specialist awards and some porn like material has been in the cinema

[littleoldme]

Which awards do you think they might win? Best actor/actress? Best director? Best screenplay? Best stunts?

Actually, that last one may be possible...

[Mattk]

the oscars awards excellence so i fail to see how porn would qualify for any category.

[Zorr0]

Most definately...most of the films up for Oscars every year tend to be films I dont find remotely entertaining...arty f4rty films...it may liven it up a bit

[Manxperson]

It would bring in some interesting new categories.
