Keira Knightley hasn’t won an Oscar, but she has been nominated twice. But Billy Bob Thornton has (for writing) and so has Colin Firth. 

I just watched The Cheap Detective yesterday. Peter Falk, Louise Fletcher, Madeline Kahn, Ann Margret,Stockard Channing, Marsha Mason, Dom Deluise, James Coco, John Houseman, Nicol Williamson, Sid Caesar, Abe Vigoda, Scatman Crothers, Paul Williams. I count at least 3 Oscars in there (for acting) and at least 2 more

Related: before movement conservatism, the expression “you are bias” used to be grammatically incorrect.

I feel like this event is at best a step above the Loyal Order of Water Buffaloes from The Flintstones. There’s an impressive level of mix-and-matching going on there.

It legitimately is a different account / person. For whatever reason this troll has been playing the long game of setting up another account under Lizardo’s name and posting racist garbage. The account gets shut down periodically, but always pops back up again. It’s been going on for AGES.

Airport ‘77?

You don’t even need to be a scientist to know this. It only takes the bare minimum of epistemology and logic to draw the correct conclusion.

Gene Hackman, Ernest Borgnine, Red Buttons, Shelley Winters, Jack Albertson: when else have so many Oscar winners been gathered together for such a crappy movie?

I agree with Nilus and I would also add that Mako was the voice actor for Uncle Iroh and he’s the best. I love Uncle Iroh.

A few hundred thousand protestors, outdoors, mostly with masks.

Nah, I think mostly because all those people are voice acting veterans with years of experience.

I think you are missing the even more obvious choice. He was briefed but he was to busy watching Fox News to hear what his experts were telling him.

A commentator on a news site listed possible reasons behind Trump’s cavalier dismissal of reports of the Kremlin paying cash (ironically in American dollars) for the murder of US soldiers. They listed all of the possibile reasons except for the most obvious, that he was briefed on it and knew about it but simply didn’t
