I've yet to see the media go all out & do a smear job on Casey Affleck like they did with Nate Parker!! I don't see the media interviewing Affleck's accusers and dig up court/legal documents. I also have no problem with any of the statements that Nate made (except for the the interview he did with Ebony where he was regurgitating Black Feminist rhetoric).

Eh, I'm not gonna get into this with you. But I do think Nate Parker's allegations has the makings for more sensationalism and tabloids. In the Parker case, you have a dead victim (by suicide), while Affleck's victims are alive. And then people love to gossip about horrific sex crimes and gang rape trumps sexual harassment in the TV news drama department.

Her death HAD NOTHING to do with Nate!! According to this article: Inside the Nate Parker Rape Case, she went on to accuse her brother-in-law of kidnapping her. Her family responded by alienating & disowning her which led up to her committing that. She had serious mental issues.


Which means the media & Black Feminists went out of their way to ignore that part of the story and instead constantly heavily implied that the Nate Parker case is why she committed suicide even though that case happened like 12 years earlier.

If Dr Strange don't win it's rigged

That ending with Dormammu killed it's chance of winning it.

Has the Academy Awards been so international when it comes to the presenters? My cousin keeps pointing out all of the UK actors out here.

american actors have kind of fell off in the last 15-16 years.

Cant even hate on this
Jungle Book was poppin

Had my son like "my Jungle Book better than your Jungle Book!"

 

[luckyse7enz]

the fact that tourists had access to their phones shows they knew what was happening.

Never know what you're going to see at Hollywood & Highland. I ran into Sugar Shane Mosely in an elevator there on a random weekday. Gotta keep your phone at the ready.
