Hot Slut Of The Day!
Frances McDormand’s Oscar Howl!
If you’re like me, then you spent last night splayed out on a velvet settee as a naked Alexander Skarsgard mouth-fed you Funyun rings with his peen as Showgirls played on a loop in the background, and then you woke up to the sound of a wolf howling and ran for the door thinking that a wild creature broke into your house. But it was only national treasure Frances McDormand who woke everyone up at last night’s Oscars by being the best thing to happen to wolves since the Three Wolf Moon t-shirt! Leave it to Frances McDormand to provide one of the rare entertaining moments in that bizarrely boring mess of a show! Frances McDormand stays a gift!
Before last night, Frances McDormand already had two Best Actress Oscars, one for Fargo and the other for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. And last night, her twin Best Actress Oscars became triplets when she won for her performance in Nomadland. Frances also got her fourth Oscar when Nomadland won Best Picture since she was a producer on the movie. Chloe Zhao, won also became the first Asian woman to win the Best Director Oscar, did most of the talking after Nomadland got the Best Picture Oscar, but she then handed the mic over to Frances McDormand. Frances put out a plea for everyone to go see all the Best Picture nominees in the theater when we can, and then she dedicated the award to their “wolf” and howled into the night like Leonard DiCatchAHo and the rest of the Wolf Pack when they smell young coochie nearby:

And now I really want to hear Frances McDormand do a cover of She-Wolf. But Frances didn’t howl to only wake us all up from the coma we were in from that bore-fest. Frances’ howl was wrapped in sadness because she did it for Nomadland’s sound mixer, Michael Wolf Snyder, who died by suicide at 35 last month. That’s what Chloe told reporters backstage, via EW:
“The howling is for our Production Sound Mixer, Wolf, who you saw in the memorial,” Nomadland director Chloé Zhao said in the Oscars press room, referencing the late Michael Wolf Snyder, who died in March and appeared in the Academy’s In Memoriam segment during the telecast. “We unfortunately lost him recently. [He worked on] my previous film The Rider, and Nomadland. He’s part of the family. That howling to the moon is for Wolf.”
And after that extremely bittersweet moon howl, Frances won the Best Actress Oscar. And while some winners’ speeches lasted longer than the pandemic has, Frances kept it short and Frances-ey. She first suggested that they have a karaoke bar at the Oscars and then gave us her version of an acceptance haiku:
“I have no words. My voice is in my sword. We know the sword is our work. And I like work. Thank you for knowing that. And thanks for this.”

Frances McDormand makes every event and awards show a zillion times better and has proven that time and time and time again. The FCC honestly needs to pass a rule stating that if Frances McDormand is NOT going to make an appearance during an awards show, networks must broadcast the disclaimer: Frances McDormand is not going to make an appearance in this awards show, which means it’s going to be boring wrapped in boring so go ahead and change the channel to reruns of The Nanny or something.
