#colors award nominee for 2025 already!

Is Babe my favorite character in Your Sky?

Yes.

And when she finds out all the shit that Oh has been doing, she will end that boy where he stands.

Because once Mew showed up with the red bag, I was convinced she was sent on behalf of the devil Oh.

Since she was a black bag girlie before being approached by the devil Oh.

But there's only room in this story for one Red Rascal, and a Black Brooder is already in love with him.

And even though Real is harping on his best friend for being a goofball in love, Real is much worse as he wears Hia's red often, even if it's a darker shade.

Because unlike Real, who is exposing all his secrets by wearing Hia's color, Blue Boy Fah tries really hard to keep his secret hidden, which is probably why he wears so much black.

If Teerak knew just how loyal and in love Fah really was, Fah thinks it might scare him.

But all the signs are there. Literally. 💕

And if Fah paid attention, he would notice Rak is feeling the same way since Rak continues to wear Fah's true color.

Oh, and center his entire life around Fah the sky.

But it couldn't be more obvious than at the celebration party where the pink straw was near Pink Person Joy and the green drink was near Green Guy Type.

Fah, hiding behind pick-up lines, sat there with in his black shirt and his blue straw and practically confessed to Rak with his yellow straw and PINK SHIRT!

Regardless if Rak is aware of it, he is already in love with that Blue Boy.

And Fah continues to give Rak his love and his color by giving Rak sweet treats with color-coded blue straws.

Yet he still keeps his secrets as he lies to Rak about who drew the adorable picture on his drink.

So since these two are incapable of thinking straight when it comes to each other, I'll be the judge of the potential date outfits because I am an expert in colors, which begins with Rak in his color!

7/10 - This would have been the perfect outfit for Fah since he is a Blue Boy in love, but doesn't fit Rak. Not yet at least.

8/10 - This outfit blended their colors together, but the red served as a reminder of the devil Oh breathing down their necks.

0/10 - It's not in their colors and the exposure of Rak's waist would have made that poor Blue Boy insane.

10/10 - It's Fah's color, and Rak looks adorable!

7/10 - If the yellow was more vibrant, this would have been a 9/10 since it also included pink!

?/10 - Oh! This is tough. It's red, but it's strawberries, and strawberries represent hearts (love) AND Rak wore a strawberry shirt the night Fah rescued him and kissed his head which started this entire fake-dating scheme, but Rak had to be rescued from Oh, so . . . this would be a great shirt for a real date where they both fully realize it's a real date at the same rooftop bar, but it's not right for this date. 5/10

But Rak is asking the important questions, which are what does he wear and should they match COLORS!

So I was thrilled that Fah, who is doing a horrible job of hiding his feelings and color, wore a dark blue shirt with a heart over his heart, and Rak wore his boy's color but much lighter and the most visible part of the shirt underneath were the letters in blue and pink, so their colors match but so do their feelings!

Once again, Fah has given so much of his love and color to Rak that Rak, completely unaware, has embraced his Blue Boy and his color without hesitation.

And if this show was finishing before December 31st, it would have won an award specifically for reminding me that these queer color-coded boys are in love by giving me rainbow lorikeets on their date.

Because they are color-coded boys in love with each other!

Even if they don't realize it yet.

Scott Feinberg at THR: 

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, on the brink of fulfilling its 'A2020' goals that were prioritized in the wake of the #OscarsSoWhite controversy of five years ago — specifically, of doubling the number of women and people of color among its membership — has announced the next phase of its equity and inclusion initiative, 'Academy Aperture 2025,' tying Oscar eligibility to representation and inclusion standards, starting with the 94th Academy Awards, the one that will celebrate the films of 2021.

The Academy is setting up a task force "to develop and implement new representation and inclusion standards for Oscars eligibility by July 31, 2020."

The measure was approved on Thursday via a Zoom meeting of the board of governors that had originally been scheduled for Tuesday, but was delayed two days to avoid a conflict with the funeral of George Floyd, the Black man whose killing at the hands of Minnesota police has sparked an international push for racial justice.

"While the Academy has made strides, we know there is much more work to be done in order to ensure equitable opportunities across the board," Academy CEO Dawn Hudson said in a statement. "The need to address this issue is urgent. To that end, we will amend — and continue to examine — our rules and procedures to ensure that all voices are heard and celebrated."

Academy president David Rubin added, "Through the dedication, focus and concerted effort of our board of governors and members on the branch executive committees, the Academy has surpassed the goals of our A2020 initiative. But to truly meet this moment, we must recognize how much more needs to be done, and we must listen, learn, embrace the challenge and hold ourselves and our community accountable. Academy leadership and our board are committed to ensuring that we continue to weave equity and inclusion into the fabric of every Academy initiative, committee, program and event."

The board meeting also yielded several other pieces of big news that could lead to greater diversity at the Oscars. Starting with the 94th Oscars ceremony, the Academy will return to a guaranteed 10 best picture nominees, as was the case early in its history and also for the 82nd and 83rd ceremonies, before it shifted to a system that could yield anywhere from five to 10 nominees. This aims to maximize the diversity of the films that are nominated for the Academy's highest honor.

Also starting with the 94th Oscars season, the Academy will implement a "quarterly viewing process" through the Academy Screening Room, the streaming site through which Academy members are able to watch Oscar hopefuls at home. By making it possible for members to view films released year-round, the Academy aims to broaden each film's exposure, level the playing field and ensure all eligible films can be seen by voting members.

The governors, who participated in unconscious bias training in January, also passed a resolution calling for its own bylaws to be amended in order to impose maximum term limits on those who serve on the board. Until now, members who serve on the board, who are elected to three-year terms, have been eligible for an unlimited number of terms, provided they do not serve more than three in a row without taking at least one year off from the board (also known as 'terming out'). Now, members will be permitted two three-year terms (consecutive or non-consecutive), followed by a two-year hiatus, after which eligibility renews for up to two additional three-year terms, for a lifetime maximum of 12 years.

These term limits affect newly elected governors starting with the 2020-2021 board term, as well as sitting governors returning for 2020-2021 in their first or second term. Those returning governors in their third term during 2020-2021 will be allowed to complete their nine-year service, before an obligatory two-year hiatus, after which eligibility renews for one additional and final three-year term, for a maximum of 12 years. For governors who have already served multiple terms exceeding 12 years, they will be limited to one additional term. Branch executive committees will also have a term limit of six years and a two-year hiatus, with a maximum of 12 years.

Moving forward, unconscious bias training will be mandatory for all Academy governors, branch executive committee members and Academy staff on an annual basis, and will also be offered to the organization's roughly 9,000 members.

Effective with the 2022 Oscars, the Best Picture nomination will be frozen at 10 places and have a "quarterly viewing process" via the Academy Screening Room implemented. Also, board of governors will now be subjected to more restrictive term limits and unconscious bias training mandated for all Academy members in order to increase representation for women and people of color among its membership.
