My husband is really happy Big Hero 6 won because it's one of the few films out there featuring Asian Americans and hapa kids. He's Asian, I'm American Indian and if we pop out kids they'd be hapa, so this is a film we could share with them. I haven't seen the other films so I can't compare. But in this case…

I'm with you on this. It was a good performance but she's not Julie in her prime :)

Thank you for this! I was trying to explain to someone that she's clearly not singing in the same key and range as Julie Andrews and they were arguing with me. IIRC Julie is a coloratura and Gaga is a Mezzo so there's no way Gaga could have sang the same music. But whoever put that arrangement together and her voice…

I thought her performance was good. But i think more props should go to her voice coach and whoever changed the key of the music to match her voice range. But then again she had to do that in the shadow of Julie Andrews (who I still adore) and that's a hard act to follow.

Emma Stone holding on to the Lego Oscar while being announced just makes her more endearing to me.

OMG me too! So far that's been the highlight of the show for me. I'm easy to please ;)

I'm not gonna lie i was thoroughly distracted by the winner of costume design's earrings. I wants them!!

The UK has a big problem with cultural appropriation in general. Also notice how he lumped us all together. He couldn't be arsed to tell us which tribes he appropriated those designs from. I'm going to guess primarily Southwest Tribes cuz that's what's hot to steal these days...

The trailer was nice and all, but I found your tag to be far more amusing. ;)

Just doing my civic duty. :)

BTW you can see pictures of the trucks here and here. You're welcome. :)

(A pictorial representation of what went down in my house when I learned you were leaving) Good luck with your new job and hope you come back to visit often!

Wait... are they handing out 'No Wiener' hats?!?

I just want to know if those annotations deal with the misinformation about American Indians in her books.

I'll be honest, i have yet to finish it because halfway through i just got sad and needed a break. But it is nice to see those court cases through an indigenous lens....

I noticed that you skipped over Native Americans, which is typical for this conversation. Not angry, just something that happens a lot to us. However I did want to lead you to one of my favorite resources for teachers and parents trying to source books on American Indians. It's a good starting place for including…

And i'll be adding that to my amazon wishlist. I mainly visit the ASU Center for Indian Education for my thesis. There's so few of Indians in academia. BTW have you read this book? So frustrated with what's going on in AZ because it ends up hurting kids in the long run...

You know this is all probably hormones and changes in brain, right? This woman may crash soon and it's not going to be pretty...

They also said the same thing about us Gen X'rs. If you read the stuff published about us in the nineties it's almost exactly the same stuff...

I hope to observe their Native American language classroom in the coming weeks. This one has pretty good reviews, but that's mainly because most of the leadership are Native Americans and the curriculum has been changed to meet their cultural needs and interests. You can learn more about the schools and their funding h…
