No, it's just an explanation of why George Miller and friends in particular were chosen as the token males this year. The Martian is a MUCH better science fiction movie than Fury Road. And I say that as a huge George Miller and Mad Max fan. In fact, Fury Road, like the previous Mad Max films, is an action movie that only counts as science fiction in the most marginal sense.

But the Martian was about a white guy. And that sealed its fate. Had the star of The Martian been a woman or minority, it would have won.
