Don't you think it says something that the only two movies you specifically call out as not 'deserving' Oscars just so happen to be the two that focused mainly on the female characters?'

Hoooly shit, this so much. It's specially ridiculous because Frozen came around the time the second Hobbit movie was popular (I think they were both released in November?) and NO ONE said ANYTHING about how the Hobbit was a sausage fest, or critiqued its writing as much as they did Frozen. And that's really telling, imo, of how bandwagon-ish the whole thing is.

It's not that I think Frozen or others can't be criticized, but I do feel it comes to a point where people just find it easier to repeat what's already been said, and it stops being productive-- especially when you want it to be perfect right off the bat. This things take a long time, yeah.

If you're in the right places, the observation that The Hobbit is a sausage-fest does come up, but then so does criticism of a lack of POC in major roles, and criticism of Tauriel for being an OC put in for either eye-candy or Warrior Chick Mary Sue.

Add onto that the general "They change it, now it sucks!" comments and maybe the sausage-fest complaints get lost.
