And as far as the accusations about the Academy being racist? Yes, most members are white males, but they are not the cast of Deliverance — they had to get into the Academy to begin with, so they're not cretinous, snaggletoothed hillbillies.

My point is that she said she wasn't going to vote for Selma because she thought it was well-crafted but artless. All she discusses here is its artfulness, and ignores its cultural significance/the significance of a black woman director. Whereas, for other categories she discusses things other than the thing that they…

Two quotations:

funny you should say that — there was actually a script on The Blacklist this year called "I Am Ryan Reynolds" in which a plastic surgeon specializes in making people look identical to Ryan Reynolds.

Don't most parents want to put their babies in bubbles to protect them? 'Ye just took it a step further.

It sort of reminds me of that scene in Bruno, where Bruno is asking whether the parents are okay with putting their baby up on a cross for a fashion shoot.

Art is supposed to be provocative. This is certainly provocative. Using an infant to do that is. . . questionable.
But just in terms of the bulletproof vest as fashion, I think it's very interesting.

At first I thought the plus-size photoshopping was interesting. These women's bodies are manipulated all the time to be smaller, why not invert that. Beauty is relative and maybe if we start seeing more glamorous images of plus-size people we could reduce body-related shame and eating disorders etc.
BUT then I read…

To be fair, I think he was just transcribing his tear-off calendar.
