So disgusting. Intellectual porn — of the bad kind, even. And so many consequential and inspiring and worrying and beautiful things going on at the same time.
@tripu Yup, but in this case there's actually a deaf oscar winner who should get some attention too...
I'm deaf, so that's got a bit more value to me. Moreso than the silly slap.
Yeah, by all means let guilds and industry associations have their little awards and ceremonies. Why not? I just don't care for something so provincial and political as the #Oscars.
I wish there were something like [The Greatest Books](https://thegreatestbooks.org/) but for #film and #music. I only know of [IMDb “Top Movies”](https://www.imdb.com/chart/top/) and of #RottenTomatoes, but those two don't seem balanced nor independent enough to me.
@trinsec
That too, I guess.
Although the Oscars themselves are only slightly more interesting to me than the stupid Will Smith thing.
(The #Oscars are a cheesy event where a specific organisation gives awards to a very homogeneous handful of rich people; the whole thing is horribly US-centric, the merits of the winning films are dubious at best, and it works as an hours-long commercial wrapped in glitter.)
