Amother thing is that Best Picture gets voted by ranking, so I wonder if Green Book got a lot of 2's and 3's and not necessarily a lot of 1's (this is why I thought Black Panther would win.

The other bit about the film that’s so irritating is Jason Alexander is a similar pudgy baldy with a shit personality who thinks he’s entitled to factory-perfect mates. I recall he says he has to dump someone because her index toe is longer than her big toe, or something similarly stupid. Meanwhile, he probably has…

And I can’t believe a movie that combined the worst, most annoying tropes of Crash and Driving Miss Daisy won an actual Oscar, but Academy voters gonna Academy vote.

I saw the ads, got to the part where Ali’s character, Don Shirley, apparently has to be taught how to eat fried chicken, and noped right out of ever even considering seeing it.

I’m not saying they didn’t give good performances. I’m saying the vehicle shouldn’t be a white savior bullshit story.

I got no problems with Ali’s win for Best Supporting Actor.

Yeah, it would be really nice for loose skin & stretch marks to be accepted even if they didn’t come from having a baby.

So glad I already feel like my (post-35, post-pregnancy) body is so “normal” - no, scratch that, miraculous and amazing and awe-inspiring - that I don’t need aggressively capitalistic ad campaigns to “normalize” it for me. When I was younger my body very closely fit the social ideal, but my self-esteem was in the…

your ignorance hurts.

I saw the trailer and thought, WTF are Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali doing in this?

as someone who has waited a long time to adopt a child (my partner and i were willing to adopt a child who is not a newborn, who is not white and who is not 100% healthy and still had to wait), i really wonder where all those plenty children without parents are.

I don ‘t know what to suggest or do.  But I do have two family members who basically … avoided swimming, avoided anything their body would be seen, and had serious intimacy problems with their partners post baby because they could never feel comfortable with heavy stretch marks/loose skin.  I find those things are…

There is a TV show about the Green Book in production for HBO and Jordan Peele is writing/producing: ‘Lovecraft Country.’ As the name implies, it is in the horror genre, but it will probably be more accurate than ‘Green Book.’ It is based on the novel of the same name which addresses both the racism in Jim Crow era…

You’ve hit it right on the nose. This is, after all, the same body that made Crash film of the year.

Green Book steals the name of a book created by an African American man literally as a survival technique and uses it to tell a story about a white man generously coming to see a black man as his equal and thereby magicking away the problem of centuries of institutional racism.

The Academy gave an Oscar to a white savior story... who would have ever thought... its not like its made up of voters who say Get Out is “not an Oscar movie”...

After Jared Leto won an Academy Award before Claire Danes, I stopped considering it an evaluation of ones acting abilities. 

I can. He made a white people solve racism movie.
