I really do not like to write about awards, because honestly, I simply do not have time to watch all of the animations before they are awarded.
But if I had to make a few selections. I would have given the best picture, best actress, and maybe best screenplay to Emilia Perez, a completely mishandled award campaign off of a few questionable posts from the lead actress.
A tribute to the Spanish soap opera, the film features a bevy of historically trans accurate gay music that is flat and often hilariously horrendous when isolated from the flow of the narrative. The film is stirring in the Operatic rise of a main character who clearly is a gangster who has simply swapped genitals without shedding their anger and inability to handle a conflict with maturity.
Giving the best lead actress award to a former man would be questionable, but if genitals is all that distinguishes a woman and man, then I have to ask, what really makes a human a man or woman what others seem they are. Having a former man mop the floor in an abysmal lineup with questionably nominated films would have sent a message to Hollywood to either put up or shut up. We had to gag as we digested a decade of uneducated retards who had no business giving political speeches because they cannot even remember the pledge of allegiance in the USA. Naturally, the actress, Karla Sofía Garcón, will one day be exonerated as progressives bend over backwards to explain how their inner hatred simply got the best of them, mirroring the film’s plot.
Aside from Wicked, and maybe the But just, Perez should have swept these nominations clean. Instead, the awards will go down as giving Sean Baker four fucking Oscars, as the Spirit Awards were literally rendered obsolete.
