Oscars: We don't care if you're a woman!

Oscars: We don't care if you're a woman!

Do you watch the movie with your eyes or your ovaries?

Do you listen to the movie with your ears or your testicles?

We hardly know that the nominations for the 2024 Oscars have already caused a scandal. “Bouhouh, which is not enough for women in directing”…

But we don't care! When you watch a movie, do you care about what the director has between his ears or what the director has between his legs?

Tikitoi?

Funny times. On the one hand, we're told that gender is fluid, that it's a social construct, and that it's perfectly normal to go on a hunger strike to write what considers itself non-binary… but at the same time we analyze everything, everything, everything according to binary categories Man Woman! Listen, damn it!

This year, of the 10 films competing for the Academy Award for Best Picture, three were directed by women: Anatomy of a fall (Justin Treat), Barbie (Greta Gerwig) and Past life (Celine song).

We were quick to point out that this is the first time in the history of the Oscars that this has happened.

Yeah okay, but once we said that, what did we say about the cinematic quality of these films?

The problem, for the sexually obsessed, is that Frenchwoman Justine Triet is the only one nominated for the “Best Director” award. She is only the eighth woman nominated in this category.

I would ask those who are ripping off their shirts because neither Gerwig nor Song were nominated as directors, who would have been cut from the list of nominees to make room for women.

Should we hire Gerwig instead of Martin Scorsese who created a masterpiece with him? Moonflower Killers? Should we hire Song instead of Christopher Nolan who achieved this feat?Oppenheimer?

This is the problem with activists. They don't take into consideration that looking at talent is more important than looking at the seat of your pants.

You will say to me: Why is Barbie nominated for Best Picture if her director is not one of the best directors? The movie didn't just happen!

In reality. But there are 10 nominations for Best Picture and only five nominations for Best Director. So there are, mathematically, five people who signed the best films, who would be disappointed if they did not find themselves in the “Best Director” category. Bradley Cooper is not nominated for the Best Picture award. Artist, band leader: This isn't a scandal, is it?

We've heard a lot about the “Barbie scandal” since the nominations were announced. But if Greta Gerwig had been nominated for Best Director without Justin Tritt, would the ruckus have been so angry?

Oh beautiful Leo

Leonardo DiCaprio was not nominated for an Academy Award as Best Actor for his breakthrough role in the film Moonflower Killers. Leonard DiCaprio! Not at the Oscars! But since he's just a man, wouldn't that cause a scandal?

Every year, at the Oscars, we criticize, feel disappointed and angry about the Academy's choices.

But it's not all the fault of the ugly patriarchy!
