That’s a direct quote from one of this year’s Oscar nominees.
“The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world!” That’s another one from the same guy. Mel Gibson, nominated for Best Director (Hacksaw Ridge). What a peach.
“Cows.” That’s what Casey Affleck allegedly called women while shooting I’m Not Here, according to Amanda White, one of the film’s producers.
Affleck often whipped out his dick on set, touched the director of photography Magdalena Gorka while she slept and continually asked her why she wasn’t having sex with crew members. You can read more here and here. Again, another peach of a man.
Both Gorka and White sued Affleck for sexual harassment; he settled with both. Casey Affleck is nominated for Best Actor for his role in Manchester by the Sea, a role that has already won him a Golden Globe and other “best” nominations.
Dear women: don’t let Hollywood fool you with its progressive politics. Hollywood doesn’t give a shit about you. Powerful white men > women, every single time.
Affleck may have given a great performance and Gibson may have directed a lovely film. I refused to give either one of these garbage men my money. Same reason I don’t buy Ivanka Trump’s shoes.
Making a good product doesn’t mean we have to celebrate you. You aren’t entitled to being a famous actor. I don’t have to forgive shit. I can forgive, if I want to. I don’t have to forget. Hollywood loves to forget. You know what helps them forget? Cash money.
Stop celebrating men who rate high on a scale of “from Tom Hanks to Brock Turner, Tom Hanks being a one…”
The Better Nominees Are…
There were lots of movies in 2016. Hollywood could have easily found others just as deserving and way less creepy, rapey, or anti-Semitic. The Oscars are like figure skating. It takes skill but the scoring is subjective.
The Water Buffalo in Zootopia
Dude. This guy made me attracted to a water buffalo. Nice work. Love a hot bovine in uniform. Are those horns or ankle rests?
The Shark in The Shallows
The shark did its own stunt work. And he was able to shine in a movie with Blake Lively, who might be the most beige person in movies.
Roger Federer in the Australian Open
While this performance wasn’t in a film, it’s the greatest performance of 2017. I don’t give a crap that it doesn’t qualify in the time frame for Oscar consideration. Trump Bannon is president now; there are no rules anymore.
Deadpool in Deadpool
Hey girl, hey.
Peter Sarsgaard in Jackie
Sarsgaard’s Boston Brahmin accent didn’t make me want to punch out the windows of the Dunkin’ Donuts on Washington Street in Braintree. Well done, sir. Yankees suck.
This Guy in That Star Wars Movie
I heard this guy never showed his peen to Felicity Jones. It’s a low bar, but it’s where we are. Academy Award for you!
Will I watch the Oscars? Eh. I’ll watch the red carpet and fall asleep in the first hour. I just hope when I wake up it’s not like the morning of November 10th…the morning we woke up and found out the sexual predator won.
The Oscars are gross. Watch them on ABC, Sunday February 26.
