Seriously sick of people bringing up Straight Outta Compton as a movie that should have been nominated. It’s a terrible movie and just because other terrible movies with white people have been nominated doesn’t mean it deserves to be. Way to lower the bar in terms of quality.

Yeah it was very disappointing to hear what Rampling was thinking about the whole issue.

I’m sure the reason Will Smith wants to boycott the Oscars is because he didn’t get nominated. Not because of the diversity issue.

She wasn’t the devil but she was a pretty horrible person, I don’t care what she did for the poor. I thought this was well-known. Apparently not.

Oscars do matter. A lot. Proof? We’ve been having tons of conversations about the Oscars snub this week. If they didn’t matter, those discussions wouldn’t exist.

Why are you convinced I give men a pass for being try hard and shoved down our throats? Of course men campaign as hard as women (you have to to win an Oscar) and yes I do find it equally annoying when it’s a man. But I was talking about JLaw, not Brad Pitt or Leo.

I’ve never said I hated her. Just that I find her annoying. And sure she’s probably a normal person (as much as it is possible to be normal in Hollywood) but she tends to exaggerate that part of herself in interviews in order, I believe, to appear relatable.

I believe the hatred of Anne Hathaway started when she was campaigning for the Oscar that she eventually won. She was just too much: too much in our faces, too much wanting that Oscar and campaigning for it, too over the top, trying too hard. That grates on people. I don’t hate her but she annoys me. Finding some…

Islam is not inherently anti-choice and anti-gay??? Come on now. Come on. Stop that bullshit.

Fair enough. Personally I found Carol amazing and it took my breath away.

I cannot believe Carol is not nominated as best movie.

Rooney Mara is really fantastic in Carol. Like on par with Cate Blanchett.

Carol should win all the things, it really should. Have you read the book?

You must be joking

Yeah no. That’s not the reason sorry. There are ethical reasons to ban surrogacy, there’s no big conspiracy to prevent gay people from getting babies.

I don’t think it’s irrational to be creeped out by surrogacy. Just because it’s possible scientifically doesn’t mean it should happen. Sometimes people can’t thave kids and while I sympathize with them, that doesn’t mean they get to use any way possible (including surrogacy) to get a baby. A baby is not a right.

I won’t. But it’s not just about me, is it? It’s about a lot of people who are involved in a fucked up relationship when it comes to surrogacy.

Just because surrogacy is ok in your world doesn’t mean it has to be in mine.

I got that. It’s still creepy: the mother carrying her daughter’s baby.

I’m amazed how ok everyone seems to be with this whole arrangement. Americans don’t seem to have a problem with using the human body for whatever experiment.
