Unfortunately, I can see the Academy adding more violence next year to increase viewership. Dame Judi Dench and Olivia Colman in fisticuffs. Timothee Chalamet slamming Tom Holland’s head into the stage. John Williams leaping from the ring to deliver a diving clothesline to Hans Zimmer.

I agree people are ignorant as hell but that’s not Hollywood’s fault, or writers’ or musicians’ or visual artists’. Art isn’t there to be didactic, in fact the worst art is the didactic kind, it’s almost always heavy handed and earnest. The issue isn’t so much with the movies you list (and others) but the fact that…

Deja should have been read to FILTH for that outfit. That was one of the worst looks that wasn’t part of a sewing challenge that I can recall. It seemed to me she and Jorgeous got very similar critiques for the challenge but Deja’s look was MUCH worse. Does the runway not count for anything?

King Richard felt like a after school special. Is Will going to win? It’s not even in his top five performances. 

nothing will ever be funnier to me than marvel acting like eternals was their big oscar play and, when the response ended up being muted, just tucked and rolled that sentiment into spider-man 9. 

interesting, ive seen nothing but people calling Daya sour, unpleasant and rude

And another thing:

I mean, “twitter” is a mass of anonymous, unhinged, frankly insane rabble for whom conflict is food/fuel/an addiction. Reasonable people probably aren’t part of that caterwauling mass.

Meh. I’m so tired of Hollywood drama over industry people saying something kind of dumb but not exactly malicious in intent. Twitter folks might thrive on it, I don’t.

That has nothing to do with evaluating what happened here in context. This situation is a specific situation, not an academic rumination on possibilities.

I guarantee that some time down the road, a year, maybe six months, whatever, there’ll be a news item. Jane Campion has picked a lead for her new film project. And Twitter will froth. How DARE she be allowed to make movies! Do you KNOW what she did? And no, they will not. No one will remember this. But they will be…

No more forgiveness. No growth allowed. Twitter’s stomach is vast and empty, and it requires souls to grind. At first it was sated by people in need of righteous cancellation, your Cosbys, your Louis CKs, your Weinsteins, but now, now it HUNGERS. Now it needs a Chris Pratt. Why? No one’s sure, but he’s B A D. Ansel…

I know it was tone deaf but what’s with pushing at the racial angle? That played zero part in her thought process. Her thought process was about all being women. It wouldn’t have mattered if the tennis great in the audience was black, white, armenian, or martian.

Funny, I read Ti West and envision Joe Swanberg.

It was certainly a test, but I don’t expect that it would’ve demanded specific knowledge of that show. (and yes, I also had to Google wth she be talkin bout)

100% agree, and it only really works if the male character is already kind of drag-y, like Little Richard or Walter Mercado. Otherwise, it’s just a shitty drag king performance, with a bad fake beard and chest binding.

“This might be controversial or politically incorrect or whatever but stop with doing male characters.”

The Supreme Court is a sham. Dismantle it and replace it with something that adequately represents our people, isn’t driven by religious ideology, and isn’t lab-grown by a political party.

Vonelle Cook is (was) a great entry in the Black or Mormon game?

Damn I am so surprised it went down like this for Pujols. Old dude got killed because he couldn’t control his mouth sucks for him oh well another racist gone....next
