#Oscar’s 2023

Guillermo del Toro directing Frankenstein is a gift to humanity on its own, but the possibility of Andrew Garfield finally bringing the queer yearning and fruitiness that has been missing from every adaptation of Frankenstein is the cherry on top of the cake

IMMIGRANTS AND FIRST GEN KIDS ARE WINNING TONIGHT COME ON NOW

[suspicioninyoureyes]

I am 100% calling out the Academy right now.

Are you gonna sit there and tell me that this man

THIS MAN

Didn’t deserve a fucking Oscar for his role? You’re going to look me in the face and tell me that a man who put his life ON HOLD for THREE GOD DAMN YEARS to throw himself into this larger than life piece of art deserves to lose? No. I’m calling bull shit.

Don’t misunderstand me, I respect the hell out of Brendan. He’s an amazing actor and an amazing man who had been through hell in his personal life and his career. I don’t deny that he did amazing in The Whale. But here’s the thing. Brendan came to set everyday and played a part. He read his lines, did his part, then went home. Austin didn’t do that. Austin never turned it off. Austin BECAME Elvis. He didn’t play a role, he became an icon. So much so that Elvis’s own family said that they wouldn’t be able to tell a difference at some points. I can somewhat overlook the disrespect the movie was shown in the other categories, but Austin deserved this. For him, for Baz, for Lisa, and for Elvis himself. I’m so unreasonably mad. I know people will disagree and that’s fine. Everyone has their right to an opinion. This just happens to be mine.

Aus, honey, you did amazing. So many people are so proud of how well you portrayed such a monumental role. No one could have done what you did. I’m proud, your fans are proud, and I know your mom, Lisa, and Elvis are all looking down so incredibly proud of everything that you’ve accomplished. You deserved better, but don’t let this discourage you. In our hearts you won that award tonight. We love you. Take the break you deserve.

my boy, my boy 💗 i am so proud of you 💗 and i know Elvis & Lisa Marie are too 💗

of course i am disappointed at the oscar’s loss BUT at the end of the day, we still won in so many other ways & areas - we’ve come a long way & it’s been quite a journey & there is SO MUCH to celebrate outside of one award - our boy & this movie was winning awards left & right all season

golden globes & baftas are HUGE win’s especially for this stage in his career plus awards are bullshit anyway i never cared or paid attention to them until now

one award does not dictate or null the success, impact & love this movie has cultivated

art in any form is subjective

to paraphrase my other fav boy, Harry Styles’ grammy speech:

“I think on nights like tonight it’s important for us to remember there is no such thing as ‘best’ in music art. I don’t think any of us sit in the studio on set making decisions on what is going to get us one of these [awards],”

and Jon Batiste’s speech:

"I believe this to my core, there is no best musician, best artist, best dancer, best actor - the creative arts are subjective and they reach people at a point in their lives when they need it most. It's like a song or an album is made and it's almost like it has a radar to find the person when they need it the most."

and the movie, austin & elvis certainly found us when we needed it the most - i whole heartedly believe that 💗

it might be the end of an era, but there is a new beginning on the horizon & i can’t wait to be there with you all 🌅💕

i know that i will look back at this time with such happiness & fondness, i’ve made such great friends & memories - i cherish it all

i won all of you guys & that’s a pretty fucking good win in my book 💗

i love y’all so much 💗

I would have had not one problem if Stephanie Hsu or Hong Chau won Best Supporting Actress against Angela Bassett. But Jamie Lee? To be completely honest, it wasn’t it and never was.

[dre6ming]

Congratulations to Austin for his nomination and to the entire team of the “Elvis” movie for 8 total Oscar nominations!!! So well deserved!
