It was the unpaid internship bullshit that got me. Ask for your worth? That's fucking hilarious.

It's like Mississippi Burning. Great movie, right? Yeah, except they made the heroes FBI agents at a time when the FBI was actively avoiding taking any action on Civil Rights. It also featured a black FBI agent which didn't exist because the FBI is racist as hell.

And I thought Oyewolo was a LOCK for the nomination.

Yes, it happens but Ben Affleck will get another nomination in the near future. Ava Duvernay might as well but there are a lot more Ben Afflecks on the horizon than Ava Duvernays.

I'm not going to spend the time trying to dig that info out to be honest. There are a lot more women on sets than are represented here and there are even more women trying to get in the door and being impeded. This is just illustrative of what goes on across the board- institutionalized sexism- so you never get the…

I eat lunch with Kim Jong-Un long before I'd sit in a room with these three women. I could not be trusted to keep my mouth shut and my hands by my sides.

I really wish this thing could be like the Cannes announcements. In and out in 30 minutes, hit all the big categories, no bullshit, hand out the award, move on.

I don't think a nomination for DuVernay would have been a token nomination at all. The Academy generally gives directors nods for the scope of their ambition and the success of their execution, and Selma was a considerable accomplishment for a director: she dealt with a large cast, with many speaking parts—a…

I felt like when they gave the award to Bigelow they sort of brushed their hands like, "well that's that, we got that diversity thing out of the way and don't need to think about it anymore."

They're both apologists for a cruel and dehumanizing system of corporatization that has co-opted feminism in general.

Remember a few years ago when The Hurt Locker was out and the Academy was suddenly made aware that only like one or two women had ever previously been nominated for Best Director and none had ever won and the media was all about how embarrassed they were by that and how eager they were to change things? Yeah I didn't…

Oh, my stars. Her response really was: "These are words. There are events happening and people are involved in those events and we are talking about it and they are doing things and that's good." I mean, I guess.

She also said "Dick Poop" this morning. And "Argentinia."

Isn't even the US Congress more diverse than the Academy?

I bet she lunches with Marissa Mayer and Sheryl Sandberg.

This is absolutely disgusting.

I f you say you have met only jerks throughout your day and everyone is jerky towards you, chances are, your the one who is the jerk.

Uhmmm..sipatica474, are you Korina?

He has psoriasis, so bugger off!!!! >:o(

As someone who works in a creative field, I've been asked many times to give away my work for free in exchange for "exposure." And I agree that's bullshit. I don't work for free unless I choose to do so for my own reasons, not because someone doesn't feel like paying me and thinks they're so special that I'll jump at…
