Remember when the Jesus thing was hurting his career so they set up an interview with him all so he could say that he wasn’t that religious?

I honestly think we’re all so desperate for a communal experience we’re ready to turn any real-time cultural moment into an excuse to do all this
@hellolanemoore
I think they’re *not* good and they’re succeeding based on their persona and now they’re experiencing an identity crisis and dear god why am I still watching this?
@slothlevine
I roll my eyes every time I see theater language about a play “speaking to the current moment.” The current moment changes 73 times a day. Your play opens in three months. I would rethink this.
@lint_ax
Nothing says “We’re artists interested in engaging with those who take issue with our work” like the font a 12-year-old in 2001 would use in a Powerpoint presentation
@MohanadElshieky
Yes it’s completely their fault that after they made their case the Republicans did exactly what they wanted anyway. I only wish they could’ve worked some sort of sorcery that would change self-interested people into moral compasses.
Aim for something other than hot takes?
@cwj92movieman
Honest question, no animosity—
Why do you assume Andrea took the nomination instead of Michelle Williams who is entirely in the wrong category?
@nataliesurely
Every person acting inconsiderately and facing consequences for it does not need a hot take arguing against it. Find other ways to be unique, please.
@pant_leg
Ooooh so many hot takes on this thread about a perfect tv show about service and kindness that was brought back solely to make money for charity.
@thegrumweld
I wrote the entire Substack about this because his speech was really lovely, but it’s interesting that the argument was that all of these other actors would eventually get a second chance at winning and it never happened.
@cwj92movieman
That’s fair. I just feel like Andrea ultimately deserved the slot and MW didn’t. I also think a supporting actor jockeying their way into a lead category just to advance their own prestige is far more unappealing than a bunch of actors championing a performance they liked.
