 The 2025 Academy Awards nominations were announced on Thursday morning. The
 Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences delayed the announcement from
 January 17 due to the ongoing wildfires in the Los Angeles area, which gave
 members a longer time to vote.
 
 The 97th Annual Academy Awards will be hosted by stand-up comedian and
former
 
 late-night host Conan O'Brien. The Oscars ceremony will air live from the
 Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood on Sunday, March 2, at 7 p.m. ET on ABC
 and Hulu.
 
 The controversial musical crime drama EMILIA PÉREZ, a film about a Mexican
 drug lord who becomes a transgender woman, led the nominations with 13 total
 nods.

 
 Talk about a complete fantasy. Cartel bosses notoriously have to sleep with
 one eye open with rivals and underlings constantly vying to take them out,
so
 the idea that one of them could become a trans-testicle and start prancing
 around in dresses in that testosterone-fueled criminal underworld and he
 wouldn't immediately be planted in the ground is nuts.
 
 Twenty-five years ago we had a mob drama called THE SOPRANOS where the boss
of
 the family had to see his therapist in secret so he wouldn't be perceived as
 weak and bumped off. Now Hollywood wants us to believe narco-terrorist drug
 lords are swishing around in skirts and their murderous sicarios would just
 accept it.
 

 *Best Actor in a Leading Role*
 
 *Best Actress in a Leading Role*

 
 And I notice that despite all their virtue signaling on gender, they're
still
 segregating their awards by male and female.
 
 Why? I mean, if it's no big deal when a dude in a dress beats the shit out
of
 real woman in a boxing ring, why should we have any gender distinction at
all
 when it comes to acting, where there actually is no inherent advantage based
 on the sex of the performer?
 
 Like everything else with the Left, it's ass-backwards. Where biological sex
 actually *does* matter, they say we should ignore it and where it *doesn't*
 matter, they insist on observing it.
 
 

And yet females who act insist on being called "actors" NOT
"actresses".... (I've never understood the reasoning behind that. It
seems like they're channelling their inner feminist by becoming men.)

So I just found out that the Academy gave the star of EMILIA PÉREZ-- who is an
actual troon, not just an actor playing one-- a nomination for Best Actress.
Yes, a man in a dress has been nominated for Best Actress. And you know that
they/them will win, too. The Academy is no longer in the business of
recognizing talent, after all. It's in the business of sending political
messages, especially in the time of Trump. So the troon's win is a fait
accompli.

This will be the first time in the history of the Academy Awards that women
will be completely shut out of the lead acting prize. No woman will win a lead
acting award in 2025. And, of course, the other nominees will have to pretend
to be thrilled by this. The other nominees, mindful of the cameras on them
when the winner is read, will all clap and pretend that a man taking home the
Best Actress trophy is the greatest thing ever.

Of course all those other real women nominees deserve it because none of them
have the guts to stand up and speak out about this madness, where men are
shutting them out of their own category. And now that the monster they helped
to create is turning against them, it's hard to say this isn't the universe
sending them a message.

I guess that old saying is true after all: When you want a job done right,
send in a man to do it, even if that job is Best Actress.
