- What is all this nonsense about not being able to find a host? Here are some great options
Brian May, astrophysicist and part-time guitarist of some band called Queen
Alison Janney
Trevor Noah
Maya Rudolph in character as The Judge from The Good Place
Melissa McCarthy, just have her wear a different hat when she’s the host instead of a nominee.Clearly they just didn’t try very hard - There seems to be less pressure for actresses to be very, very thin. Not to say that a lot of them aren’t still thin, but I feel like they aren’t skeletal. And some are straight-up normal or plus sized. I am a fan.
- Yalitza Aparicio seems like a sweetheart and I am not a huge fan of how the presenters on the carpet were talking down to her. You couldn’t be bothered to learn how to say hello to her in Spanish?
- If you had told me a couple years ago that the best pictures nominees would include a Afrofuturist superhero movie, a movie about race relations and the KKK, another movie about race relations, a period piece with queer themes, and a movie about a bisexual man (possibly siren?) and his buddies making a bazillion popular songs, I would have laughed at you. But here we are. Also I literally found out a couple weeks ago that We Will Rock You is by Queen. How I missed that I do not know.
- Also shout out to the StitchFix commercial for having a little girl who likes spaceships, two plus-sized people, and an interracial queer couple.I’ve got to hurry now or mom will eat all the popcorn.
