Hilarious that they rearranged the categories to end on a Chadwick Boseman victory for Best Actor... and then he didn't win... and the winner didn't even show up

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
