an anonymous oscar voter discussing her ballot with the hollywood reporter jesus fucking christ

Oh my god. Read this whole thing if you want to be borderline despondent on the state of prestige cinema LMAO

The worst part is she votes for The Shape of Water in almost every category, but doesn’t even consider Octavia Spencer for best supporting actress in that movie because she thinks Octavia is acting the same role in every movie? Which isn’t true and just seems so much like an excuse.

And she keeps dissmissing Get Out in every category it is nominated in. She keeps saying it’s not oscar worthy.

She also isn’t voting for coco because she said the theater (for a kids movie) was full of noisy kids.

Can you explain in detail what you don’t like about rupauls drag race?

Sure, I’d be happy to explain in full detail.

I don’t like RuPaul because he regularly uses transphobic slurs and claims that the trans people who ask him to stop just have bruised egos.

I don’t like RuPaul because he claims that “no one has ever said the word tr*nny in a derogatory sense.”

I don’t like RuPaul because he stated on-air that he believes the only difference between men in drag and trans women is “About twenty-five thousand dollars and a good surgeon.”

I don’t like RuPaul because he had to be pressured by his network in order to discontinue a game on his show where his contestants attempted to clock drag queens the way they do trans women by labeling them with the s-slur.

I don’t like the RuPaul because he proudly defended Shirley Q. Liquor, a drag queen who performs in literal blackface. He said Liquor is “not racist” and “Critics who think Shirley Q. Liquor is offensive are idiots.”

I don’t like the show because one of its most popular contestants created a YouTube video where he “appeared to shoot and kill a trans woman (caricatured as having a wig and mustache) for objecting to certain language used by drag queens.” (This link is a step removed, as I’m not comfortable linking my followers directly to that kind of violence.)

So if I can sum that up, I “don’t like” RuPaul because he fucking hates me and my community.

well shit
