The Oscars, historically:
* Black people were rarely nominated.
* Women often had to endure sexual assault to win one.
* The 3 most thanked people in acceptance speeches, in order, were Spielberg, Weinstein, then God. That says it all.
How can anyone feel good about winning one under these circumstances?
Not surprised that Barbie was snubbed. Excuse me... Ryan Gosling was nominated, because irony is dead. And "Best film" but not "Best Director" or "Best Actor," because women's credit must be shared.
Best song, and best costume, because yes, they were great.
The weird thing about Greta Gerwig is that she's not a great director. (Clearly, she hasn't won an Oscar! Didn't even get nominated this time!)
🤔And yet, Best Picture nominated movies keep directing themselves around her somehow? 3 for 3?
We exist in a world where we pretend that the societal impact of the art that was Oppenheimer, is somehow greater than the societal impact of the art that was Barbie.
That Margot Robbie didn't show out like Cillian Murphy did. But she wore great costumes! Dress up! Pretty girl!
Someone else was incensed that her constant hair make up changes weren't noted. Best Hair and Make up? To someone else?
Rightly incensed.
