Rebel Wilson Took A Swipe At The Oscars Boycott During The BAFTAs

Two things happened at the BAFTAs last night that made everyone present whisper “Well, I wasn’t expecting that to happen” to person sitting beside them. The first one was that Leonardo DiCaprio put his mouth on a woman 56 years older than his usual bone by date. The second one was that Rebel Wilson came out as a proud member of #OscarsWhoGivesAFuck.

Before she presented the award for Best Supporting Actor, Fat Amy pulled out a piece of paper and gave a sarcasm-dipped statement about how it’s so great to be here “at this very serious event” (the Coen Brothers just fell in love), adding that she’s never been invited to the Oscars, because “they are racist.” She also made a joke about “transgendered face” and getting the vapors for Idris Elba because she’s sociologically programmed to “want chocolate on Valentine’s Day.” I’m pretty sure that’s an Internet Outrage Bingo?

On a scale from Charlotte Rampling to Emma Thompson, I guess Rebel’s speech falls somewhere between…I’m not sure, really. I still don’t know what she was trying to say, but that’s my fault. I got distracted by that “diverse members” comment, and my brain hasn’t been able to focus anything but the mental image of a well-stocked dick buffet ever since.

Here’s more of Rebel wearing some kind of church choir director mullet dress at the BAFTAs last night.

Emma Thompson Advocates Solving The #OscarsSoWhite Problem With Murder

Good for her. I see Emma Thompson and I are both writing Babs Johnson’s name on the presidential ballot come November. As reported by London Live (via Vanity Fair), The Grand Duchess of DontGiveAFuck-stan (Exhibit A: that outfit) was attending the British Film Awards when she was asked about this year’s pale and tragic Oscar nominations. Q: How would you solve the lack of diversity at the Oscars, Em? A: Kill em’ all and let Bruce Vilanch sort it out!

“Let’s face it, the Oscar membership is mainly old, white men. That’s the fact of it. So, either you wait for them all to die,” said before jokingly offering up another option. “Or kill them off slowly—I mean, I don’t know. There’s so many options, aren’t there?”

There really are – bludgeoning, stabbing, shooting, riding lawn mower, wedgies…(no, for real)

Nanny McPhee’s got a point despite her newly admitted tendency towards sadism. “Slowly?” Yeesh.

Emma also described the whole controversy as “hilarious,” noting that “it’s no change there. It’s not as if [the Oscar nominations have] ever been awash with people of color.” Emma doesn’t just throw shoes, she throws truth!
