How Mad Should I Be About Barbie’s Oscar Nominations?
How to complain about the 2024 Academy Awards (without everyone making fun of you).
This year, I’m heading straight into Gold Rush, a new newsletter devoted to all things awards season, where I will continue to hold forth on Oscars rivalries, snubs, and narratives at a time when even people who did not serve as secretary of state are invested in the horse race. As for the implication that Margot Robbie was snubbed in Best Actress because she’s a woman(the “Charlie Brown had hoes” of awards-season takes), recall that, in all likelihood, Barbie’s seat was taken by a 64-year-old lesbian trying to swim from Florida to Cuba.
