I do what I can

Thank you for using the proper terminology "finger bang" and not this "finger blast" nonsense that seems to be rising in popularity.

Yeah, I had to side-eye this argument as well. Marisa Tomei is siting right over there with Gabourey Sidibe, Cuba Gooding and every other Oscar winner who didn't go on to do much of note after winning.

Because if she is on the outs with Hollywood, Lee Daniels would have been on the outs by association. He probably didnt want to see that happen to his projects. I know its silly but I get it. That is a lot for him to risk.

I'm also guessing that her announcing that she's been blackballed isn't going to do her any favours. Good Luck, Mo'nique.

Well, not campaigning is one thing when you've been established in the kind of role for which you've been nominated (see:DDL and Fassbender). And when you're a white dude.

Is it really that controversial to not campaign for an award when you're nominated? That can't be it, can it?Am I missing something?
