I think she’s excellent in the movie. But ultimately the Oscar’s always come down to an opinion, and who has the momentum, and the right story. And I’m not super mad about that, because how does one compare an acting performance. It’s really all about “I like that one better”. The long, long, long list of performances that have won an Oscar that have me scratching my head seems endless. And I expect the same can be said for this years award show.

Ultimately, I think Kim won not just because it’s likely the best performance she’s ever given, but because this was a truly excellent movie that was not going to get the awards it deserved because it was competing in the same year as Titanic (if you want to talk a movie that DID NOT deserve the awards it got). I also think she won as a way for the academy to give a nod to the whole cast. Imo, the real travesty isn’t that she won, but rather that Guy Pearce and Russell Crowe weren’t even nominated, and neither of them won.

I think the answer is really easy if they are willing to look (and I sincerely hope they don’t). When you are a purple state, running extremists who say crazy things are unlikely to win, especially statewide. If they had run that other guy instead of a fraud like Oz, they may have won that senate seat. A less extreme gubernatorial candidate might have beat Shapiro. I doubt it, I think Shapiro ran a crazy good race, but they would’ve been in it.

The bottom line, unless you’re in a deep red state, STOP BEING CRAZY.

Ryan Gosling. About 10 years ago, I would’ve said George Clooney, with no one else close. But I think he’s aged out of the role.
