I stopped watching the Oscars after I wasn’t able to stream it easily (I’m in Toronto, and the last time I checked was a few years ago; maybe it’s different now).

Oscars jumped the shark when they ballooned the best picture category. 

Coming here to say the same thing. Rihanna? RIHANNA?

No real punishment. Everyone is just trying to save face now. 

Full body shudder. Look at how she is visibly pulling away. And he’s such a pretentious asshole on top of everything else. Sorry you never got your Oscar for draaaahhhhmaa, Jim .

You must be able to be nominated without being a member (think of someone like Anna Paquin being nominated for her first role in the Piano). Same with attending. He likely won’t ever be nominated again (or invited back for a long time), but that would be the case even if hadn’t resigned (or gotten expelled). 

I’m guessing it means he can’t vote for the Oscars anymore. I don’t think it means he can’t ever attend the ceremony, as plenty of non-members attend.

Seriously. His behaviour was the very definition of toxic masculinity (something this site supposedly deplores?). You can defend your loved one without resorting to violence.

People can tell the difference, but it’s like when tv shows and movies use blackface to show how ignorant the character using it is — it’s the same tired joke over and over…and it almost seems like an excuse to use blackface. (And, for the record, I actually saw Licorice Pizza in the theatre, don’t think PTA should be…

While that’s true, it’s the same argument people made for years about using blackface: the character using it was always an ignorant asshole. They were the butt of the joke, not Black people…but it was usually the same tired joke used over and over and seemed more like an excuse to use blackface.

Her mom’s pretty smart and driven — a former lawyer and current columnist who used to host one of the more interesting Canadian political podcasts out there. I can’t picture her raising a spoiled brat, but here we are. 

People don’t want to believe she had health issues — that it was all vanity. Which is, needless to say, pretty fucked up.

“Israel” is a fairly common Jewish name too and has been for centuries (it’s Jacob’s alternate name in the Bible). 

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, “Storm” would have been a cool name (for real) and they could have called her “Stormi” as a nickname anyway. But no, it had to match Mommy’s name. #branding

Unrelated, but the poster formerly known as Cherokee Purple has been impersonating you (with a slight change to your handle), calling anyone who disagrees with them a cunt, and just trolling in general. 

As it happens, I saw it years ago in film school before the expression became a thing but…who cares? Are most people familiar with the origins of every phrase they use?

Also, didn’t he limit Robin Wright’s ability to take acting roles? She had to stay with the kids while his career came first. Seems like he was controlling and a shitty spouse at the very least.

It’s not about shaming. Not every relationship with an age gap is automatically icky and/or transactional. I am close to at least two people who were the result of successful May/December romances, one of whom was the result of his dad running off with his 30-years junior secretary to another country, leaving two kids…

And now they’ve changed their name from Cherokeepurple to an actual poster’s name…yeah, totally not a troll. Is there even a way to report that?

So…a man literally has to abuse underage women to be creepy? That’s a pretty low bar.
