It’s simple. In 1939 Merle Oberon became the first actress with part Asian ancestry to get nominated, than Vivien Leigh later became the first actress with partial Asian ancestry to win. They both hid their Asian ancestry.

yah, comparatively I think Colin Farrell in The Batman was a far superior prosthetic transformation if that’s what the voters were going off of

And he got to hug Indiana Jones on stage for the Best Picture win, with Spielberg cheering in the audience. Quan’s life is worthy of a movie itself.

I’m rich 😎

My understanding is that the whole idea of them is to establish new copywriters on elements for when the animated version expire.   

To quote Mel Brooks, “Merchandising!”

One of the all time most sincere acceptance speeches, too.

Holy Shit Short Round’s an Oscar winner!

Currently forecasting record levels of chill. People will win, people will not win, and nobody’s going to freak out about it. Everybody’s gonna be like, “Not my pick, but good for them. And when you think about it, isn’t everybody a winner?”

I think it would have made a bit more sense if the cure she’s given in 3 so she doesn’t become a zombie caused this side effect. 

Man, this just cements my theory that the younger generations of video game meme culture are like... two steps away from basically recreating early-2000s Newgrounds while believing they’ve made something new.

To be fair, if you take away the facial hair, Leon doesn’t look any older either. That’s the magic of facial hair.

Of all the devs that are begging her to make a horror game, i’m guessing 1-2% are in the empowering women to “uprooting old useless hot girl narratives” camp while the other 98+% are in the Beavis & Butt-Head camp of creating an empowered “hot girl” that they can get all giggly pervy and “afroused” at.

Can’t figure out what the common denominator is!

Super interesting that it seems to only affect women, and keeps them in their 20s.  What a WEIRD thing!

“Afroused” is such a stupid word. Like, really stupid.

So the T-Virus canonically makes zombies but also keeps women young and hot.  No wonder why Umbrella Corp wanted to control it.  No only do they make millions on bio weapons, they will make billions in the beauty market

What’s weird is this is the second time they’ve done this!

While I agree that it’s likely a commercial decision, it seems like RE’s done it before? At least a few of the villains of Village had their aging slowed / stopped by the biohazard of the week. And in 7, a character had exactly the opposite problem. Prior to that, I think I recall that the Progenitor virus that Wesker…

This a bit of a retcon in her appearance no? She looked different in Resident Evil 5. Longer, blonde hair. Not terribly older, but not quite the same younger appearance from 3 either. Now they seemed to pull her back to her RE3 look. I suppose you can chalk it up to different reference models between games, but it…
