The Oscars

Well, that happened...

So this was the first year in a long while that I didn't actually watch the Oscars ceremony. I usually make a pretty big deal about it: office Oscar pools, big family watch parties, etc. Maybe it was the decision to cut a third of the categories from the broadcast, but for some reason I really wasn't feeling it this year. And it sounds like I didn't miss much*, other than a case of assault that's already getting meme'd to death on Twitter

*As far as presentation, at least. There were quite a few major wins for representation - the first deaf acting winner since the 1980s, the first queer female PoC, back-to-back wins for female directors, etc.
Yeah, kinda glad I skipped it (I was busy with a soccer match). Will have to see what lessons the Academy learns from the fallout, if any.
A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.

Back again! I meant to post this before Mark started S4, but they've said that they want to try to finish the series within this month, so we should have more liveblogs coming soon. In the meantime I'll be posting more fanart below!! And the most recent liveblog (S4 Ep1) was here, if you missed it wanted to read over the comments. <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/mark-liveblogs-64596429" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/posts/mark-liveblogs-64596429
