Is “Unbroken,’’ the much-anticipated film directed by Angelina Jolie, too unapologetically patriotic for Hollywood’s anti-American sensibilities?
Hollywood had an opportunity this year to honor two films that portray values dear to most American hearts and minds. But the nominations announced last week for the Screen Actors Guild Awards and Golden Globes laid bare the prejudice that rules a bizarro world in which nudity and rampant sexuality are promoted at the expense of monogamy and flag-waving.

It just seems par for the coarse that they would ignore films that seek to honor those that protect us while at the same time they will highlight such other films that seek to inflame our enemies.
One could say that they do not realize the implications of there actions but imo they know full well after yrs of study what reactions to events will be.
Also here is a link to the reaction of all this by the guy that killed ubl's body double.imo

A simple look at the Acadamy Award nominees for that last few years make this article wrong. Of course who everybody is going to have a different idea of what a patriotic movie is but, let us just go with things like Captain Phillips last year, Lincoln, Argo, and Zero Dark Thirty the year before that and in the last few years Warhorse, The Hurt Locker, Inglorious Bastards. Some of those won Best Picture even. What more would you want? If any Hollywood seems to over do the patriotic thing. How many movies have they thrown real history out the window and so they give us American heros? To many. Hollywood has one agenda making money and for that they will cater to any group.

How....what......The Interview has been pulled from release, so any mention of it at this point is silly. It won't be shown anytime soon.
Now then, how many "Patriotic" movies released in the past ten years shall I point to in order to prove this entire op wrong?
Which awards qualify?
Do tv shows factor into it?
It takes anywhere from 1.5 to 3 years to make a modern movie. 2012 was rife with "Patriotic" contenders and quite a few won.
