To be fair, Crystal always was a total asshole.

Don’t forget expanding Obamacare. People who get their “news” exclusively from social media make me nuts. Biden might not be FDR, but he hasn’t been idle at all. This is what happens when we eliminate civics classes...we end up with entire generations who think the President can just wave a wand and do anything he…

I saw Heathers cosplay, but yeah, you’re right too. WTF even is that?

How many e-mails do you think this guy got today about saying the quiet women-as-livestock part out loud?

I wouldn’t want it, only because I feel like the entire category of Best Female Director would get dismissed by a lot of people in the same way the WNBA does, as a second-rate competition. Not saying it’s right, just saying it would happen. Plus, there are way more actors doing leading roles in any given year than…

Fair.

Fair.

They are indeed criteria, but first (in theory, at least, for the Academy) the film has to be at a certain level of quality to get through the gate. My argument is that whatever Barbie’s cultural impact or valid underlying message, it just wasn’t a great film. It was a good one, and an ambitious one, but it didn’t…

Jesus Christ. Imagine if these assholes put anywhere near this kind of effort into doing something good-hearted and productive. We’d probably have perfect desalination technology and the goddamned food replicator from Star Trek by now. Or...considering the IQ levels involved here, never mind.

I dunno...I think if we expanded the list of everything we’d just get Tom Cruise nominated for each new Mission Impossible movie. The Best Picture list is sad enough these days; let’s keep SOME quality intact.

Yeah; if someone said this to me, I’d mostly just wait to be murdered in my sleep.

Jesus, does this guy ever stop being an ever-deeper pile of shit?

I’m absolutely with you that it was criminal to see it up there next to Banshees of Inisherin. That hurt my heart.

I agree; it’s all super-sexist. Just arguing that Barbie isn’t the hill to die on. 

I agree. My bad; I only meant to compare the two as “extras”, not to suggest that Barbie was anything like the pile of cliched horse crap that was Maverick.

The movie was very good. I enjoyed it. There was no Best Acting by anyone in it. Not even close.

Um, was someone demanding that Sofia Vergara feel bad for or apologize for her good looks? If so, the attached article doesn’t mention it. What a drama queen. Just thank the universe for the face and body that’s given you everything and pipe down.

Yeah; when Jezebel reopened, we all spent a couple of articles begging them to hire a copyeditor this time around. No dice yet.

Not to keep picking fights with you, Pink (I’m honestly enjoying this debate) but there’s a numbers problem there: 10 films get nominated for Best Picture, 5 films for Best Director. The money-grab ten-nominee list is why we keep getting laughably mediocre Best Picture nominees like Elvis, Jojo Rabbit and A Star Is…

Honestly, what a statement.
