anyone else furiously drafting a list of glee songs buck would love or is it just me

[klapollo]

the LA times is absolutely FOUL for insinuating lily gladstone, an actor who has garnered endless praise for her performance in KOTFM and is considered the frontrunner in their category in an industry where indigenous people have been historically disrespected at truly repugnant levels, is less deserving than margot robbie for a fucking toy movie. absolutely shameful.

[klapollo]

"If only Barbie had done a little time as a sex worker. Or barely survived becoming the next victim in a mass murder plot. Or stood accused of shoving Ken out of the Dream House’s top window."

There was absolutely no need to involve Lily's character or performance -- from a film based on a true story of anti-native violence mind you -- in this at all and yet they threw her under the bus. margot robbie has two academy award nominations, while a native performer has never won an acting award in the history of the oscars. this is what i mean when i say starbucks feminism bc this isn't very intersectional now is it lol

[bliss-bliss-bliss-bliss]

I wish nominations were based on skill and talent, in which case both of them should have been nominated for their vastly different but incredible performances, but they're not. They're based on politics, industry favoritism, and money. Huge, huge buttloads money. The Oscars are famous for nominating and awarding tragic prestige movies full of dark themes, starring very Serious Thespians, and the longer the better.

Jaws and Blazing Saddles came out the same year, but I believe best picture went to The Godfather II. Which is an alright middle chapter in a trilogy, but I think it's a little weak on it's own. But Jaws wasn't based a real historical figure and nobody got disemboweled and Blazing Saddles, so there ya go. (I mean, people did very much get disemboweled in Jaws, but you know what I mean)

Even when Killers of the Flower Moon was in production, people were already calling it Oscar bait. I think there's no way they weren't going to shit themselves over a big-budget Scorsese-brand tearjerker about horrible systemic racism based on a true story. Let alone a really really fucking good movie. C'mon.

And there's no way they would have ever looked twice at the musical comedy about womanhood that literally used up all the pink paint in the world.

Let me be clear, I'm not being dismissive of Gladstone; she absolutely 100% deserves the nomination, and I think it's fantastic to finally see a little more diversity in the nominees. (America Ferrera fuck yeah let's go) But I think Margot Robbie deserves it too.

And who got it and who didn't seems to have no bearing on their actual performances so much as the kinds of movies they were in.

PS if you think the Barbie movie was a silly puff piece about a toy, I implore you to look a little closer before you dismiss it. Starbucks feminism my ass, that shit was fucking poetic and Margot Robbie was fucking transcendant in it.
