Between that episode of THE LAST OF US, Jennifer Coolidge’s Golden Globe speech, M3GAN, “You Better Walk That Fucking Duck” and an Oscar scandal centred on best fucking actress, the gays have absolutely never eaten as well in a January than we did in the year of our lord 2023.
For me the ultimate serve of CHALLENGERS is how it completely shifted gay conversation on + offline away from whether a Taylor Swift album is good or bad weeks earlier than would have been the case otherwise. Thank u love, thank u life, thank you Luca G
Viola Davis is now only the seventh woman to have achieved EGOT (via competitive awards at least), following Helen Hayes, Rita Moreno, Audrey Hepburn, Whoopi Goldberg, Jennifer Hudson and Lydia Tár.

i think of this letter my then 10 year old little sister send me when i was in university and it will probably always remain the cutest thing that's ever happened to me
I know its the Golden Globes but still
-That Beale Street score snub (for A Quiet Place?)
-No Burning & Cold War (but Girl?)
-Green Book for screenplay
-Candice Bergen & Debra Messing over like 50 actresses
-No Ethan Hawke?
-No Atlanta?
-Bohemian for drama over Forgive Me?????
I *believe* Kristen Stewart and Ariana DeBose mark the first time two openly queer actors have been nominated in the same year, and if either of them win they’ll be the first acting winner who was openly queer at the time of their win… ever.
Ok GASLIT is wildly relevant, meticulously crafted and written and features Julia Roberts’ best performance since Erin Brokovich (if not ever?) and no one cares because there’s 70 billion other shows out right now and this is.. not right!
Watched the last two SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE season 2 eps a day late and dear lord what a deeply moving, perfectly executed hour of television that deserves to be discussed as much as the shows that aired just before it. Give everyone involved with this show everything they want.
In response to fair criticism prev. thread was too negative: There have now been 134 best picture nominees since 2000. Whats your TOP 10?
1. There Will Be Blood
2. Moonlight
3. Roma
4. Boyhood
5. Brokeback
6. Tree of Life
7. Amour
8. Phantom Thread
9. CMBYN
10. A Serious Man
Whoopi Goldberg's absence from The View (she's sick, they say) since the day after they announced her as an Oscar presenter+the fact that she's the only previous Oscar host listed as a presenter+she openly said on The View in January that she'd be up for hosting=???
we published something really, truly special on
@CBCArts
today & i'm really proud to share it. endless thank you to everyone who helped make it happen AND HAPPY FUCKING PRIDE.
"Mom, I need you to lend me probably about $1,000 so I can change my flight and go spend a week living at Tilda Swinton's house with a man I think I've fallen in love with."
This is the greatest story I'll probably ever have to tell.
There's not a show on TV I love more that Somebody Somewhere... and few queer onscreen characters I've ever loved more than Jeff Hiller's Joel. Somebody somewhere better give it a 3rd season renewal and all the Emmy nominations, please!
Succession and Barry are great yes but have you also tried the most *truly special* show on HBO Sundays (and television in general)? It’s back tonight!
Was your name mangled on
@TheView
this morning because you made up a conspiracy theory about Whoopi Goldberg hosting the Oscars that's probably not true. CAUSE MINE WAS! (also
@MeghanMcCain
it's KA-NET)
Please take in this *massive* celebration of the 50 Greatest Films Directed by Canadians, as chosen by 84 critics, programmers and journalists. We've been workin' real hard at
@CBCArts
putting it together, and we really hope you enjoy!
Unfortunately was also at this screening and gave up after an hour of watching them flop the 70mm print that *should* have been at
@tiff_net
. Get your shit together,
@CineplexMovies
you’re ruining Barbenheimer for so many of us forced to experience it in your mismanaged cinemas!
Trying to make use of my quarantine to catch up on as much of a history of queer art as I can. Wrote this little guide for others interested in doing the same & will continue to offer content suggestions here. Please feel free to do the same in the thread!
Super fucking proud that the project Superqueeroes made me and a dozen people I really love a
#CdnScreenAwardWinner
tonight. Here's a little speech. Thanks a lot, seriously.
Come on,
@latimes
, do we really need to have this conversation AGAIN: Daniel Kaluuya, Denzel Washington, Tiffany Haddish, Hong Chau, Mary J Blige, Salma Hayek, Octavia Spencer, Jason Mitchell, Idris Elba.
Toronto's queer communities have been ruptured in so many ways in the past few years, but we came together to rally for someone who has been a beacon of light to so, so many of us for over 3 decades: Patricia Wilson.
It is with deep, deep pleasure to report that after literal years of delays with the other two (haha?), the third season of THE OTHER TWO has *actually been released day and date in Canada on Crave*. WE WON GAYS!
It’s Pride. My 20th (!) as an out queer. Doesn’t feel great that it feels more dangerous to be visibly queer now than it did in 2003. But it’s also so necessary to be, especially you’re privileged enough to generally exist within safe personal and professional spaces.
Thank you to everyone who came out to Carol, our last
@queercineclub
of 2022. Starting this series has been my favourite thing about this year, and I’m very excited for another round in 2023.
I’m officially spreading the queer agenda on
@cbcgem
, with a little help from some extremely talented LGBTQ creators and performers. Watch it with your most homophobic relative over Easter!
Not that we had any doubts but Barbra Streisand not only wrote that entire book herself but she definitely also writes her own Instagram comments and 3 hours later this glory is still there:
Diane Warren finally winning an Oscar next year for a song performed by these 5 for a movie starring these 4 (called “Gonna Be You”, no less) is the ultimate awards narrative.
With the Challengers score now frontrunner for gay soundtrack of the summer (sorry to the pop girlies), I wrote about Trent Reznor's long legacy of making music for the (and my) queer experience:
Matt talking about all the incredible queer artists he came up with and how
@LasCulturistas
has been such a great forum for us all to get to know them was a major highlight for me.
This is a Naloxone kit. Instead of baseball gloves and basketballs, this is what families in certain areas keep at their front door.
Enough is enough. Will you join me to protect Toronto's future?
no regrets spending SIX HOURS of the last 3 days listening to maybe the greatest & definitely the gayest feat in podcasting history while wandering the streets of loudly loling under my mask. thank you
@lasculturistas
@bowenyang
@mattrogerstho
you gave me needed life I bow down
