Yeah celebrity candidates are great for the news media and terrible for humanity as a whole.

Imagine if Dwayne Johnson actually runs lmao.

I understand the sentiment but Oprah's pretty much made a career out of promoting positive social evolution. She's a celebrity because she's such a charismatic idealist and knows how to work people; skills that are very much transferable to politics. And she doesn't strike me as someone who would crumble so easily under lobbyist pressures either.

So who's taking his spot at the Oscars? If Tom Hanks was in danger of losing out on a nom, he's in now.

Voting closes tomorrow so it's probably too late. That said, if he's nominated, I won't be surprised if they just default to whoever is sixth as the fifth nominee.

They still gave a win to Casey Affleck and even a nomination to Mel Gibson. The Academy can go on and on about how progressive they are, but deep down, they really don't care.

I think I’d actually consider voting third party.

[filmlover]

I would never stop laughing if this resulted in Jake Gyllenhaal getting nominated in his place.

[AniNate]

The Oscars are progressive when it's convenient for them. There was even an article not too long ago about how some are regretting kicking Weinstein out

Gyllenhaal gave the best over the top performance of the year and one of the best grounded performances of the year.  give him an Oscar nom!

Between the Franco stuff and the All the Money in the World reshoot salary controversy, it's been a busy news cycle the last few days before the deadline. Now watch Michelle Williams kick out Meryl and get nominated.

Although it is funny that Meryl is in last place for a Steven Spielberg film about a timely topic (that has also been shut out of most of the precursors overall). Never in a million years thought that would happen and yet here we are.

[La Binoche]

Well apparently it's Meryl's fault that a number of actresses allowed Harvey Weinstein to take advantage of them instead of telling him to fuck off, so that might cost her.
