Are you not not going to watch the Oscars this year?

[spike]

So Jada Pinkett Smith admitted that she and Will have been living apart and separated since 2016, and that she just doesn't "know how to" to divorce because she made a promise to never let anything get in the way of their marriage. They just put on an act and go out to public things together. Makes what happened at the Oscars that much stranger.

ruddo if i start getting Jada Pinkett Smith content in my feed now so help me god

It will be worth your sacrifice as long as bammer also gets it.

All the Axe body spray ads will push it out in no time.

[Anders]

Having not seen most of these, I was still thinking that Priscilla, Napoleon, Asteroid City and Past Lives might be among the top contenders, ahead of movies like The Iron Claw and Origin.

[tommy]

Interesting to see Iron Claw on the list. I'm looking forward to seeing it, but it's going to be a rough watch.

[Anders]

I have been looking forward to that one.

[E.H. Ruddock]

I guess I can see Barbie be up for Best Picture, etc. But any of the acting categories seems a bit of a stretch.

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. 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.

[epilogue]

I fully expect Barbie to be nominated for Best Picture, Best Screenplay (not sure if it's one of those weird rules where it would be Original Screenplay or technically adapted but it should get that nod in whichever category in which it qualifies), Best Actress, Best Actor, Production Design, and Director. Those should be absolute locks for Barbie.

Past Lives should also absolutely get a Best Picture nomination. I'm certain it'll get Screenplay. And, honestly, Spider-verse should be BP as well.

OK Joe you can drop the schtick. You don't have to pretend to like Barby anymore.

[epilogue]

[E.H. Ruddock]

The only reason Barbie would be nominated for best picture is to bring in a younger audience for the Oscars. The Oscars are old and stale. But in no way do I think it is a best picture. And locks for the acting categories?! Lol. Acting like a fake plastic doll is a critique of an acting coach, not worthy of an Oscar. I know I'll catch heat for this, and it has nothing to do with the message of the movie. It was just a terrible movie.

Not that bold really, if you think about it

If bold means popular, then yes he has been very bold here today.

I don't want you to be mad at me!

[E.H. Ruddock]

My 13 year old stepson and his buddies are performing "I'm Just Ken" for this year's talent show. I'm looking forward to it!

[tommy]

OK Joe you can drop the schtick. You don't have to pretend to like Barby anymore.

Let us not forget that you have not seen the movie, but for some reason still have an opinion about it.

dang if that's the rule, I should be mad at pretty much everyone all the time. but luckily i believe it's OK for people to have differing opinions, and it's ok to make fun of them for it too
