The Hollywood Reporter.
I am fucking disgusted. Two ENTIRELY different movies, set in different time periods, different casts and directors, different stories…but the committee is apparently looking at it through some sort of narrow racial lense? Like, they gave due recognition and acclaim to a movie centered around African Americans last year, so they can’t do so the following year? I can’t…I can’t even articulate how terrible this attitude is. added to this is the fact that all 20 acting nominations have ALL gone to whites, not to mention that these awards come at a time when there is a great deal of racial tension and unrest in the US. Hollywood’s racism is beyond unbelievable.

Just a reminder that no history was made tonight. Instead, it repeated itself.

Tolkien died in 1973. Reverse it and you get 3791.
Three rings for the elven kings under the sky, seven for the dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, nine for mortal men doomed to die, and one for the dark lord on his dark throne.

It’s one of the most famous quotes in history. At some point around 1789, when being told that her French subjects had no bread, Marie-Antoinette (bride of France’s King Louis XVI) supposedly sniffed, “Qu’ils mangent de la brioche”—“Let them eat cake.” With that callous remark, the queen became a hated symbol of the decadent monarchy and fueled the revolution that would cause her to (literally) lose her head several years later. But did Marie-Antoinette really say those infuriating words? No, there is no record of her ever saying it.
That aside, what’s even more convincing is the fact that the “Let them eat cake” story had been floating around for years before 1789. It was first told in a slightly different form about Marie-Thérèse, the Spanish princess who married King Louis XIV in 1660. She allegedly suggested that the French people eat “la croûte de pâté” (or the crust of the pâté). Over the next century, several other 18th-century royals were also blamed for the remark, including two aunts of Louis XVI. Most famously, the philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau included the pâté story in his “Confessions” in 1766, attributing the words to “a great princess” (probably Marie-Thérèse). Whoever uttered those unforgettable words, it was almost certainly not Marie-Antoinette, who at the time Rousseau was writing was only 10 years old—three years away from marrying the French prince and eight years from becoming queen.
