With so many villains bringing this country down in real time, I almost forgot about "Committee Chair"... "Congressman"... "American"... "Human Being" Gym Jordan. #JackSmith #JackSmithTestimony

This 🧵 hits the nail on the head.

Most nominated films at this years #Oscars : #1. Sinners (16) #2. One Battle After Another (14) #3. Frankenstein (11) #4. Marty Supreme (10) #5. Hamnet (9)

‘Sinners’ becomes the most nominated film in #Oscars  history with 16 nods.

What’s extra awesome about SINNERS having the most Oscar nominations ever - 16 total! - is that it would have broken the previous record (14) even if the Academy HADN’T added a new category this year.

Breaking News: Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners” broke the all-time Oscar nomination record with 16 nods, including best picture and best actor. nyti.ms/3Zrgfdw

This lineup is exactly what the Academy votership overhaul several years ago was going for: More room for genre. A year when the huge, popular movie with the black cast ISN'T the surprise "Oops" omission. And a more international look--nineteen nominations for foreign films this year.

So far, only two of the five short films are available to watch. A Friend for Dorothy is on Disney+, and Two People Exchanging Saliva is on the New Yorker's YouTube Channel. The Singers is coming to Netflix. #Oscars #Filmsky

Three of the five short film docs are streaming....The Devil is Busy and Armed Only With a Camera are on HBO Max and All the Empty Rooms is on Netflix. #Oscars #Filmsky

#Oscar nominees for Best Picture: ⁠ “Bugonia” “F1” “Frankenstein” “Hamnet” “Marty Supreme” “One Battle After Another” “The Secret Agent” “Sentimental Value” “Sinners” “Train Dreams” ⁠ Visit the the link in bio for the full list of nominees.

Two things to remember about Jack Smith’s testimony: 1. The only people who question his objectivity are GOP politicians and members of the Trump-obeisant media. 2. No one has as complete a picture of the evidence as does Smith and his team. His critics, in fact, have usually willfully ignored it.

Congratulations to Steven Spielberg! He makes Oscars history today as his latest project HAMNET (2026) received a Best Picture nomination – his 14th nomination in this category, he now holds the record for holding the most Best Picture nominations as a producer.

Great Movies with no Oscar Nominations Sorry, Baby The Testament of Ann Lee My Undesirable Friends My Father’s Shadow No Other Choice Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk A Little Prayer Familiar Touch Rebuilding Cloud The Baltimorons

So SINNERS breaks the record of most #Oscar nominations ever by TWO nominations (16). Surprising after an era of spreading the wealth. #OscarNominations

Best Animated particularly well-predicted. Wicked being shut out entirely is surprising. #OscarNominations

The Voice of Hind.... that wasn't expected, no? #OscarNominations

Biggest statistic so far: Greg Kwedar, who was nominated for Sing Sing last year and Train Dreams this year, is the first writer to get consecutive nominations since Aaron Sorkin.

I like how there's a nomination for a short that has "exchanging saliva" in the title when we had a kiss-related animated short nomination not long ago. #OscarNoms

Love seeing Danielle Brooks up there. She was fabulous in The Color Purple. #OscarNoms

I understand the impulse to distance yourself from American history. I do. But the atrocities are the actual normal for many communities. And until we confront them as part of a baseline societal flaw and address why they keep happening, they will not stop. They will just continue to shift targets

That Rodney King beating was new when this film came out. The L.A. unrest was that very year. History sure is current tonight. #MalcolmX #MLKDay #TCMParty

This would be a great companion screening with I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO. Sadly, little or this feels dated in 2026. #MLKDay2026 #TCMParty

The *TV premiere* of James Baldwin’s I HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE (1982) has begun. Man, do we need Baldwin’s voice now. TCM, thank you for your exceptional #MLKDay programming. You are so critical, as always. www.tcm.com/articles/now... #TCMParty

Best part 🤡😭☠️

It’s sickly ironic that the first Jewish President turned out to be a Nazi.

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.

For those saying “oh but the cabinet are all sycophants.” Yes. We know. It’s called PRESSURE. You pressure the system until something gives. Micro cracks in the wall until some bricks start to come loose.

Sad news. One of my favorite guitarists of all time, Ralph Towner, has died at the age of 85. He had a huge influence on my acoustic guitar playing when I was a mere sprout, and he will be greatly missed.

RIP Ralph Towner, so many beautiful records. Spotted him in the Woodstock movie, preparing to hit the stage with a v. strung out Tim Hardin. Towner assumed it was another lil folk festival gig - then he looked down from the helicopter. He was 19.

It is not up to the armed forces to put a stop to Trump’s ghastly ideas of war against NATO. The United States is not run by the military, nor should it be. Americans, and their elected representatives, must take this burden away from the armed forces—now. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Fairly sure it’s unintentional, but the end date on this mug being sold by the Smithsonian does make it sound a little like they’re saying America dies in 2026…

I think it’s worth asking again — and seriously — what exactly do we have a 25th Amendment for if not for this?

“The truth always lies somewhere in the middle” has to be one of my least favorite phrases. Sometimes, one side is actually truthful and one side is actually malicious and lying!

You can either deny reality or fix it, Trump is a reflection of your country as it has always been. It's not enough to reject or oust his regime, but also, have a serious reflection as a nation of how you actually got here, allowed corruption & impunity to exist openly for so long, and change it.

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

Do yourself a favour and watch Valentino: The Last Emperor. It’s somehow compulsive viewing and a triumph of camp!

Tomorrow marks one year into Trump's second term. Worst case scenarios are already unfolding. Trump's derangement will only worsen, and eventually the US government will have to act against him. The question is, how much damage will he do to the US, the West and the world before they finally act?

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

So many headlines are not aging well.

i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals

For all the lesser reputation of the #GoldenGlobes, kudos to the show itself. Nikki Glaser’s confident and funny, the speeches moving, and I know, I know, but the length isn’t a bad thing when it flows.

Again, I love it. 👇 #Hamnet #GoldenGlobes

The other three members of my immediate family binge “Only Murders in the Building,” so that’s actually the most known nominee in these parts. #GoldenGlobes

Usually this is the last thing I’m interested in but… who IS Owen Cooper wearing? #GoldenGlobes

As always I don’t like when they don’t show clips, especially of the actors. But as always, the best part has been the speeches. #GoldenGlobes

It’s most moving when winners are nervous. #GoldenGlobes

Of all the categories not to be able to hear the winner at a microphone! 🙄 #standup #GoldenGlobes
