My oral history of the weirdest Oscars ever, held five years ago, in the thick of COVID, at a train station. Includes quotes from 40+ people — Fauci, Soderbergh, Close, Sorkin, Zhao, Kaluuya, etc. — and the speech Boseman’s widow would’ve given if he’d won. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

The classy move would have been to give Machado the FIFA Peace Prize in return.

Machado presenting Trump a prize and testifying to his love of liberty and democracy while masked secret police invade Minneapolis, abduct people, and beat peaceful protestors is an affront to every American trying to preserve democracy at home. www.thebulwark.com/p/trumps-nob...

I AM SHRIEKING 💀🤣 Forget the statue at City Hall, this guy is the *real* Spirit of Detroit. 🫡

After three years as the Academy’s president, term limits are forcing Janet Yang to vacate that role. Insiders say Lynette Howell Taylor, currently one of the organization's vice presidents and chair of its Awards Committee, is the favorite to succeed her. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Still Oscar-less

On Friday at the Karlovy Vary International Film Fest, I recorded a live ep of Awards Chatter with the great Stellan Skarsgård, who’s here with his new film SENTIMENTAL VALUE and to receive the fest’s Crystal Globe for Outstanding Artistic Contribution to World Cinema. Terrific convo posting Monday!

What hope is there for our country when a huge number of its citizens are as objectively stupid as this guy? At least he is self-deporting. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/08/u... cc: @jvl.bsky.social @timmiller.bsky.social @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social

I’m guessing we’ll soon see a measurable drop in children named Harvey and Karen.

This week, the 55-person board of governors of the Academy will convene to make some of its most historically-significant decisions:

Adam Brody has returned to The O.C. — or at least, to the O.C.!

Putting this together took years off of my life, but I am proud of the finished product and hope that you — and @theacademyusa.bsky.social’s board of governors — will check it out! www.hollywoodreporter.com/lists/govern...

Another day, another social media platform. Any but Elon’s!
