Is there any connection between these two years in a row of #OscarSoWhite,“ the hundred or so repetitions of the ”N-word” in Tarantino’s latest N-word opus magnum, and republican right wing thinly-veiled politics of exclusion, fear, and racism? Any connection at all? Maybe so. Maybe not. One thing’s for certain though—the Oscars are an American institution.
You clean toilets for a living. Imagine getting suddenly transported to a distant planet, shown ancient halls glowing with a thousand candles, and a stone replica of you—carved a million years ago.
Did you ever kill ants using a magnifying glass when you were a kid? Ever wonder how hot that spotlight Katy Perry and Lady Gaga live under is? Big fame’s not fun. Surviving the limelight’s heat is big work.
