"Damn, Emma Stone is gorgeous….I've made a huge mistake!"

How many movies must Emma Stone and her looks destroy?

You should read the Daily Beast piece. And let me introduce the term, "rape culture", here. This example, not rape, still it isn't the same for men and women dealing with sexual offenses: the latter have fewer options for redress, especially if they work in male biased Hollywood and are up against a celebrity actor. A…

Yes, but I think this would be less of an issue if he were properly punished for it, as well as apologized and regretted it, and then won the awards. In effect, denying him the trophies would be a form of punishment in lieu of actual consequences. But I do agree his performance was stupendous. Awarding him these…

You suddenly meet Dick Cheney and he sticks out his hand, you're too surprised not to follow natural social etiquette.

I deliberately put my head in the sand re: reading about what Affleck did (and independently thought his MbtS performance was great), but after reading the Daily Beast piece, very belatedly (I'm sorry for not having done it before)—yikes. He behaved pretty horrendously.

Fun Fact: C-Span just polled 91 presidential historians in their latest rankings of presidents and Reagan came in 9th. Barack Obama came in 12th. I was surprised but thought they didn't account for legacy and influence past office.

That and I believe there was some research that concluded that people lock into their political beliefs and party in their early 20s, and so you have a lot of older voters who first voted for Reagan.

Which might lead you think that the American people would recognize this and go, "Maybe it's not the candidate but the party that I should be judging here." But, no! They don't do that.

Either Trump is, contrary to what we thought, a true ideological hard-right conservative, or he doesn't really care about any position except ratings and is being hard-right because that's who the people advising him are and he doesn't want to give up the power. But then I think his shallow understanding of ideology…

Odd thing he said about the proliferation of media now than back in his day when he was president—in 2008. But, this was good, except for sticking to the false "The US shouldn't have pulled out of Iraq" thing. My respect for him went up a tad. The paintings don't look half bad.

They thought they were in La La Land, but the Moonlight revealed something far different.

If you've seen La La Land, this mix up is actually thematically appropriate.

It's Beatty's fault. He still said "And the Oscar goes to" after he paused and looked again at the envelope. And right before showing to Dunaway who expects to read the winner then.

Indifferent to Kimmel but I thought his hosting fine.

I enjoyed the dropping of candy. I wish the tour bus bit had gone all in and was made up of Trump voters who would have criticized celebrities for their speaking out in award shows. That would have shown how they would be star struck when actually meeting them, taking the air out of that conservative argument. Maybe,…

Backstage interview, Stone said she always had her envelope with her. Guess the backup got mixed up with the BP envelope, though that's not an easy mistake to make.

Moonlight actually got three million more illegal votes.

Going after the conspiratorial other half of the country that sees nothing wrong with InfoWars being in the press room and is suddenly pissed that that wholesome movie starring two white people lost to the one about the gay black man in very suspicious circumstances.

Right. All the more reason he should have won for directing it.
