I don’t think we’ve talked enough about Barbie’s Oscar snubs
Hillary Clinton is fired up! #ImWithHer
Are we truly living in a Barbie world?
On Tuesday, The Academy Awards nominations dropped, and you would have thought during the announcements that they slandered Barbie the way people were reacting for the next several days. Barbie received eight nominations, including Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Supporting Actress. However, this was not enough for people who ONLY watched Barbie compared to the other major films. Many were outraged that a movie based on Barbie would not nominate the star of the film, Margot, yet nominated Ken, portrayed by Ryan Gosling. And then they fell to their knees when they learned Greta Gerwig was not nominated for Best Director, which turned into World War Three on all corners of the internet. It shook people so much that Hillary Clinton emerged from the Woods to tweet this:
The ceremony hasn’t even happened, and Hillary is already calling them losers. Mind you, Margot and Greta were nominated for their roles as producers in Best Picture and Greta in Best Adapted Screenplay. But this wasn’t enough; they wanted specific nominations to fulfill their feminist needs even though a woman from the film did gain a nomination (America Ferrera), which somehow went unnoticed during this discourse.
The real outrage needs to be over the fact that “I’m Just Ken” received an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song because did anyone listen to the atrocities that is that song? I thought people liked the song ironically, but now we’re here, and I’m questioning everyone’s taste.
While everyone was throwing punching over if they believed Barbie was snubbed or not, I am still mentally not over the fact James Marsden was robbed during award season (as well as deleted the pic below from his Instagram). We are not the same! And who knows if I’ll ever recover.
One is not like the others
Another award dropped their nominations, the NAACP Image Awards, and while reading over who was nominated, The Outstanding Actress in a Television Movie Limited Series or Dramatic Special were the following:
Ali Wong - Beef
Chloe Bailey - Praise This
Dominique Fishback - Swarm
Gabrielle Union - The Perfect Find
Meagan Good - Buying Back My Daughter
I had to double-check. Though the C in NAACP stands for Colored, that term was specifically for Black people, but I guess things have changed. Congrats to Ali and the rest of the nominees.
A new supreme has arrived
Renee Rapp has risen to the top of the list of celebrities I adore. Renee is currently in press for her film Mean Girls: The Musical and everyone's interview has made the internet clutch its pearls because we have had nothing but boring celebrities since the Kardashians changed the landscape. And the reactions to her interviews have all been on how she needs media training, while I’m enjoying every minute of it and hope she NEVER changes her outspoken ways. You can tell her costars have no idea what they’re in store for whenever she speaks. She could ask for a business to crumble after receiving bad customer service or admit she’s ageist because millennials have been mean to her.
The moment I knew she was the one to support… after learning she’s a Wendy Williams fan and is also concerned for Wendy’s well-being. That’s my kind of girl.
xo,

The other thing that makes her stand out is she constantly next to those 2 yahoos who seem to have no sense of pop culture references at all?
