So the Oscar nominations were released and there was not a single category in which all of the nominations were earned. There was a lot of internet outrage and discussion about the lack of certain Barbie nominations but quite frankly that was the least of the academy’s problems this year. So instead of picking apart everything that was wrong I am simply going to put forth what each category’s nominations should have been. This is what the Oscar nominations would look like if the academy wasn’t sexist and racist and stupid. Some categories were simply missing one or two people and some were entirely wrong. Movies like Origin and The Color Purple were looked over entirely.

We are not going to talk about the actual Oscar nominations as they stand now because there isn’t a single category that isn’t wrong. I had high hopes after last year’s Oscars. There were a few missteps (looking directly at Angela Bassets empty hands) but for the most part women and people of color were rightfully recognized for their work. This year it feels like the academy thinks like they have to overcorrect to balance out last year. Its weird and gross and I am not sure why we are going backwards. Its embarrassing and ridiculous.
