Re: Oscars Nominations Announced, Controversial Trans Drama Leads With 13 Nods

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.
