Category fraud has really spoiled the supporting actress/actor fields. Every year you’ll get at least a few performances that are pretty clearly lead roles shoehorned into a supporting category since there’s a better chance of a win. This year you’ve got Jeff Bridges (‘supporting’ in a movie where he’s one of three…
Kay is going down with the ship

Let me assure you that, as someone who loves musicals and sat through this whole movie wondering “what. the. actual. fuck. is. this”, your imagination is right on point. Trust it.
I heard that Richard Spencer is pissed that she wasn’t there to protect him too.
La La Land doesn’t need to be a good movie. It’s a movie set against the backdrop of Los Angeles, that wonderful, wild, wacky, bewildering, bewitching, befuddling, magical, magestic, maddening jewel of the west coast. Oh, what CRAZY things can happen in Los Angeles!
The best part of this is that Baio now has to walk around with the knowledge that a petite blonde lady came to his rescue and everyone knows it. He seems like the kind of guy that would be really bothered by that.
To be fair, Viola Davis was nominated for Doubt, even though she was in the movie for maybe 10 minutes
My Trump-voting colleague has spent the last year interviewing and going through the motions to enroll in a particular federal job training program that would have guaranteed him a significantly higher salary and better benefits than our current job. Hebjust told me that he can’t get hired now because of Trump’s…
You are funny.
I was in a rage haze at the GG because of the excessive love for LaLaLand, but to your point about Michelle Williams, Viola Davis got an Oscar nom for her 10 minutes (or less) in Doubt. She crystallized all the pain and competing interests of the movie in one powerful scene and it was her scene that lingered long…
“Maybe this is a transmission from the future via a language we don’t yet know.”
Onetime Judi Dench got an Oscan nom for like, literally 2 minutes of screen time.
Have not seen Manchester by the Sea but my parents did and the only thing they liked about it was Michelle Williams. They have spent well over ten minutes of their lives talking about her and how good she was, so apparently longer than her actual appearance in the film.
Annnndddd the only movie that I have seen that is represented in the big categories is Arrival. I guess either I am out of touch, or the Academy still is, or a little bit of both.
“Chris Brown further proves point.”
Agreed. An activists job at a large successful action is not to whine about why the people who showed up weren’t at the previous actions, but to do something — other than whining — to make sure as many of them as possible come back to the next one. This article is not helpful.
Yeah, that’ll make the first-time marchers feel great. Can we stop picking at people who gave enough of a shit to come out and march in January, and then tell them it isn’t good enough? I think all women need to be respectful of the new-to-protest women who are now galvanized. Coming together on commonalities and…
What’s with these purity tests that people on the left require of one another?
Then Happy trails
