Pennez Hilton

Amy Adams

We get that you hustled your ass off this season, but come on. Napping? This isn’t Rebecca Stein’s Econ lecture. This is the Oscars. Perk—not perc—the fuck up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Meryl Streep

Next you end up drunk and alone at Allegro, just think ‘what would Meryl do?’ Oh right, get two.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

John Travolta

We know that you’re "wickedly" talented, but was your “Saturday Night Fever” not enough to thaw your “Frozen” brain? Adele Dazeem? I guess we can just start calling Scientology "total bull shit."

 

 

 

 

 

Lupita Nyong'o

The breathtaking goddess was undoubtedly the well–deserved winner of Best Supporting actress. She was one of the few people that didn’t consult a thesaurus for her uplifting speech that was a refreshing reminder to all of those College students that our dreams are valid too.

 

 

 

 

Leonardo DiCaprio

Easily the biggest upset of the night, the wolf was left licking his paws with no award (for the fifth time...) As Jordan Belfort himself once said, “The only thing standing between you and your dream is the bullshit story you keep telling yourself as to why can’t achieve it.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cate Blanchett

In Blanchett’s acceptance speech for her award for Best Actress, she did anything but tell her fellow nominees to #suckit. While Blanchett apparently got a lil’ boozy with Julia Roberts before the show, she eloquently delivered one of the few speeches that did not nauseate the audience with cheesiness (in her sexy Australian accent, no less). Undoubtedly a hotter version of Amy Gutmann, Blanchett had a powerful feminist message that definitely nominates her for the next spokesperson of “The Vagina Monologues.”

 

 

Matthew McConaughey

Alright alright alright. Granted a well–deserved winner of Best Actor, but the southern charm was not enough to keep us from shedding a silent tear as you stole the award from poor Leo. Neither was your cringe–worthy speech. While it had its redeeming moments, can we all really be our own heroes? Please don’t tell that to Wharton kids.

‘Iron Lung’ and the Rise of the YouTuber Film

Iron Lung shows how a creator with a large online audience turned a low budget game adaptation into strong box office revenue through fan driven promotion and social reach. YouTube creators build direct audience ties, run production pipelines, and mobilize viewers to support projects across media platforms. The film’s performance signals a shift where online personalities compete with studio backed releases through community scale and digital marketing power.

Wicked Duology
Film & TV

‘Wicked: For Good’ is for the Theatre Kids

Wicked: For Good closes its story without awards recognition but with clear creative conviction. The film’s reception reflects a mismatch between its intentions and critical expectations. Designed as the second half of a continuous narrative, it prioritizes character depth and long-term emotional payoff over accessibility. In doing so, For Good succeeds less as a crowd-pleaser and more as a film made for those already invested in the world of Wicked.
