This reminds me of the Garrison Keillor thing where people were like “This is too far! A guy losing his job over touching a woman’s back!” and I was like “yeah no way that’s all it was.” No way is all this is some twitter fight. My guess is UCB has been getting complaints about him for years and finally made a move.

Yeah, but saying “Don’t be a dick to people who aren’t like you” is OMG POLITICAL and unpatriotic.

“Poor George, he can’t help it — he was born with a silver foot in his mouth.”

I think it would probably be fair to extrapolate from the *very next sentence*: “it makes her feel at home as* safe.” Claro?

This must happen.

I disagree. People have been emboldened recently to be open about their hate of choice. They are less ashamed of being racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, etc. We elected a man who is all of the above and more as our president.

I’d pay to see Frances McDormand clock him one. It would be glorious

Nah. Word is the Academy specifically told him his presence wasn’t wanted, and this is how they’re handling it. (AKA: “I wasn’t fired, I quit”)

That face deserves an Oscar more than garbage Casey Affleck.

would have been better for him to own up to his shit behavior and have THAT be the reason he doesn’t show up. Not passively aggressively blame everyone else.

“The Times Up movement has prompted me to pause and reflect upon some of my past behavior and why it was inappropriate. After careful consideration I have decided that it would be best that I do not present the Academy Award for best actress and instead take time to listen and learn about the importance of respect and…

I see that as the whole point was that he was trying to piss off and distract Kylo.  

It was literally written to help fund the construction of the base of the Statue of Liberty. But Miller likely knows that and is too evil to care.

Please please please let this mean she is running for office.

But, as a 49-year-old, you know NEVER to put anything in writing that could come back to bite you - especially with the Internet. She should have telephoned and made her pitch, whereupon White Moose management would have laughed in her face and hung up on her, leaving her with private hurt feelings instead of public…

The pieces of his letter that she read into the record were incredible. This dude thinks he’s the victim. He actually used the phrase “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.”

I’d offer the alternative recommendation of Ahsoka Tano. She already did in The Clone Wars what Padme didn’t manage in the prequels in being (in my estimation) a better torchbearer for Leia’s legacy and specifically being a better counterpart for Anakin Skywalker, even without any romance.

He was excellent in Season 2.

She didn’t stay with him after he slaughtered the Jedi. That was actually what directly led to her trying to leave him.

THANK you for this article, Caroline! I felt like I was alone in the dark all this time, like NO ONE would talk about it, even IN the new flicks. Kylo should have been on a maniacal hunt to kill his mother, why would he give two-sh**s about dad? It’s the (force) mom that matters to him. When they meet on the gantry at…
