What was the Academy thinking? Isabella Rosselini - it was her year. So mad.


These get political. This is their way of thanking KDHarris closest they could find to a Jamaican this year. It is all political.


That doesn't sound likely. But I think you do get a problem with votes splitting. So I bet the voters who liked older, more serious material probably split between Rosellini and the Brazilian woman. The latter had a lot of buzz for that role, and I actually thought she was going to win it. There's also an issue with sometimes people don't see all the firms, even if they are voters. So possibly people didn't see Conclave because there's been a lot of movies about popes in the last couple of years and I think viewers might be maxed out on Catholic politics.

If so, kind of funny!


Yes, he threw it to his wife. šŸ˜‚


Oh that’s not his wife that’s his girlfriend. You know whose wife she was though? Harvey Weinstein.


Yikes. Another strike against Adrian Brody.


She left him in 2017 when all of the accusations started. The divorce wasn’t finalized until 2021, but she didn’t stand by him and isn’t responsible for his crimes.


NP and I have a hard time believing she didn’t know or hear the rumors of how he treated actresses. It was an open secret in Hollywood and she is a successful fashion designer. She knew.

He was always gross and there was zero reason for any woman to ever be with him other than to advance her career and be really rich. Even when he was at the top of his game, no one was saying "Oh, he's so hot" or "He's such a nice guy with a wonderful sense of humor." He was a power broker who looked like Jabba the Hut on his best day. And his reputation as a lech was well known (even if people didn't know the non-consensual part of it). She's not responsible for her crimes, but it's all still gross.

Are you sure she was there? I googled and kept getting pictures of Julianne Hough.

Yes, amazing. I'm 52 and they are making me feel like I made all the wrong choices -- did they botox like crazy in their 30s and 40s to end up that way?


That’s lasers and peels and personal trainers 7x week. Long term Botox is not it.


Oh, does that mean if I start doing lasers and peels now in my 50s, I can achieve something like that? I didn't have the time or money in my 30s or 40s to do anything, but now I've got time!

That's really interesting. I'm sure it's in part due to misogyny and that sex is titillating. But it's also because it sort of goes to the core of the female struggle over thousands of years and so it provides a lot of meat for female actresses dealing with the female condition. At some level, we're all dealing with the comidification of our bodies and trying to find a way to assert ownership of our sexuality and selves.


NP and I think you are giving the academy more credit than they deserve. They love to glamorize sex work and do ā€œresearchā€ and thank the sex worker community. They don’t give two sh**s. Sex and nudity sells and they exploit women in movies all the time.


Yup. And they have treated actresses like sex workers with their casting couch culture. Hollywood is just gross.

I didn’t know that! I think he mentioned her kids in his speech. Are they Harvey Weinstein’s kids?


Yup- if you caught it he said I know it’s been a roller coaster or some other phrase like that. I’m sure it has for those poor kids.

Right? So ā€œbraveā€.

And if i hear ā€œI share this with the sex worker communityā€ one more time I’m going to vomit. Like, sure, I’m sure the sex worker community is getting a boost from your stupid award.

What nonsense.


Especially since Sean Baker is a creep. He said when he saw first saw Mikey he thought she was "sexy teenager" I like Mikey but this sweep shows everything wrong with Hollywood.


Completely agree. And I didn’t know Sean Baker said that. Ew.

The Academy awards are such a disappointment overall. The only award I was excited by was the one for Flow, an actual creative movie with something to say.
