Do you watch a movie with your eyes or with your ovaries?
Do you listen to a movie with your ears or with your testicles?
Barely known, the nominations for the 2024 Oscars were already creating a scandal. “Bouhouhou, there aren’t enough women in directing”…
But we don’t care! When you watch a film, are you interested in what the director has between his ears or what the director has between his legs?
TÉKITOI?
Funny times. On the one hand we are told that gender is fluid, that it is a social construction, that it is completely normal to go on a hunger strike to write an considers oneself non-binary… but at the same time we analyze everything, everything, everything according to the binary categories man/woman! Tune in, dammit!
This year, of the ten films competing for the Oscar for best film, three are directed by women: Anatomy of a fall (Justine Triet), Barbie (Greta Gerwig) et Past Lives (Celine Song).
We were quick to point out that this is the first time in the history of the Oscars that this has happened.
Yes, okay, but once we said that, what did we say regarding the cinematographic quality of these films?
Where the problem lies, for the sexually obsessed, is that only Frenchwoman Justine Triet is nominated for “Best Director”. She is only the eighth woman nominated in this category.
I would like to ask those who are tearing their shirts because neither Gerwig nor Song are nominated as directors, who they would have removed from the list of nominees to make room for women.
Should we appoint Gerwig in place of Martin Scorsese who created a masterpiece with Killers of the Flower Moon? Should we appoint Song in place of Christopher Nolan who achieved the feat ofOppenheimer?
That’s the problem with activists. They don’t take into account that it’s more important to look at talent than to look at the seat of your pants.
You will tell me: “Why is Barbie in the running for best film if its director is not among the best directors? The film didn’t happen by itself!”
Indeed. But there are 10 nominations for best picture and only five nominations for best director. So there are, mathematically, five people who signed the best films who will be frustrated not to find themselves in the “Best Director” category… Bradley Cooper is not nominated for Maestro: that’s not scandalous, is that?
We’ve heard a lot regarding the “Barbie scandal” since the nominations were announced. But if Greta Gerwig had been nominated for best director but not Justine Triet, would the brawlers have been as angry?
MY BEAUTIFUL LEO
Leonardo di Caprio is not nominated for the Oscars as best actor for his masterful role in Killers of the Flower Moon. Leonard di Caprio! Not at the Oscars! But since he’s only a man, doesn’t that cause a scandal?
Every year, at the Oscars, we criticize, we are disappointed, angry with the Academy’s choices.
But it’s not all the fault of the ugly patriarchy!
