I haven’t watched the Oscars in 10+ years, but I would absolutely watch for Key and Peele.

He also made fun of that Asian Woman’s name: Yulree, commenting that her husband “Patrick” had a real name....

What an embarrassment.

Listen...yes you covered my annoyances quite well. The fact that he spent a long ASD time mocking a baby’s name annoyed the shit out of me. Saying LA LA land should keep it...bitch give Moonlight their things and get off the stage! He can go his jokes were lame and he made some dog whistle comments that did not escape…

She alleges in her complaint that she [..] was often the only woman in the room at meetings with 50 people.

“As with any company with more than 30,000 employees, it is inevitable that there will be a small number of individuals who make claims against the company

Please don’t apologize Faye, that was the most interesting thing to happen at the Oscars since some dude ran on stage naked about 40 years ago.

Well said!

1). Again I didn’t edit; seriously there was a glitch, probably because I was on public transpo and had a funky connection when I was writing my response...if I had made an edit I woulda copped to it.

Yeah, WORD. Being homeless sucks for everyone, especially women, especially POC. Especially abuse survivors...I mean when she’s sexually assaulted, like most homeless women are, and tries to come forward, no one’ll believe her, right?

Yeah, true. Besides-people with histories of abuse are notoriously unreliable as witnesses, especially about our own lives, because we can’t quite trust our own minds. That’s like—not even mental illness, it’s mental INJURY because of what we’ve been through. Not understanding that and the consequences, and trying to…

I mean, obviously she was never “Black” to begin with. However, Black is a constructed and therefore highly unstable category, so her argument that she belongs in it makes some sense within a bizarre and nonsensical cultural context.

I still think a significant part of questioning her reliability comes from victim-blaming [her abuse] and misunderstanding psychological illness and how it works.

I think it’s even weird that we’re all talking so much about her, or ever did. Feminists—usually white feminists trying to ease our own insecurity—keep leaping at her throat to make ourselves feel better...meanwhile we don’t talk nearly as much about the variety of people in this world who have done far more…

WORD. Meanwhile my friend who has African-American heritage gets told she’s “not Black,” presumably because her skin color isn’t dark enough...and people look sideways at me when I tell them I’m mixed-race or assume I’m one more white girl claiming heritage that’s not mine...and my friends, or my mother for that…

Your last sentence is what I want to post everywhere these days. More empathy, not less.

I agree. We shouldn’t want anyone to be homeless. I don’t like that she still thinks she needs to tell us about being black. But I don’t believe that means she should be homeless.

No, I don’t think that’s a radical or particularly extra-moral position to have, which is why I was surprised by this comment section and people like you taking great offense to people saying they felt bad for her kids.

Whatever. I will continue to be against anyone being homeless, even shitty people.

Yes I am entitled because I am sad that children are going to be homeless you’re right

I actually always thought Debra Messing had a really unique pretty nose, it adds character to her face. I’m happy she named names, this piece of garbage doesn’t deserve a career in the industry. We can’t enable assholes like this and people like Woody Allen, yet they still have careers and win Oscars.
