Okay, what are we talking abouttoday? Today we're going to talk about
(00:23):
the Oscar nominations that were recently released. And I probably should have brought up
the list before I started talking aboutit. But yeah, so I'm understanding
that a lot of people are prettyupset the fact that The Color Purple was
not nominated for Best Picture, noteven a nomination, and Fantasia, who
(00:43):
had one of the lead roles,was not even nominated for Best Actress.
So you saw the movie. Ihave yet to see it. I'm going
to see it eventually, but yousaw it. Do you, first of
all think that Fantasia should have beennominated? Well, let me also put
this out there. Only nominae theygot anything related to that movie was Danielle
Brooks God Best Supporting Actress. Rightright right when I left the movie theater,
(01:07):
there were a few people that wantedme to tell them how I thought
about the movie. When I leftthe movie theater. I text them all
the same thing, and I said, if this movie does not win awards
dur an Awards season, and ifthey are not nominated for an Oscar,
we know what it is. Whatis it? We know what it is.
When the Oscar nominees came out yesterdayand I saw the color purple was
(01:29):
not on there, and I sawFantasia was not on there, I was
shocked. I actually found out whenI was at home and my mom was
watching Sherry Shepherd's show, and Sherryhad somebody on there breaking down the Oscar
nominees, and Sherry too was like, wait, wait, wait, we
got to talk about, how isthe color purple not on there? How
is Fantasia out on there? Now? A conversation with me my mom had,
though I don't know, didn't.I never saw the first original color
(01:53):
purple, and I don't even rememberwhen it came out. I think that
came out before you were even born. Family explained to me that the same
hype that this color purple had,like everybody's like you gotta go see it,
was the same hype around the originalone, and the original one also
got dried out of awards during Awardseason, So now a lot of people
(02:13):
that know that time period are sayingthe same thing is happening to this one.
To answer your question, absolutely,I believe Fantasia should have been nominated
for Oscar. Absolutely. I thinkthe movie should have been nominated as Best
Picture. Absolutely, I think Danielleshould be nominated, just like she is.
(02:34):
I would love for Taraji to butseeing the movie, Taraji's role,
although she killed it, I don'tthink it's set up to be an Oscar
role, if you get what I'msaying. No, Danielle supported, Danielle
gotta be supporting hands down. Taraji'srole killed though, and she killed.
But when you watch the movie,everybody walked away and said Fantasia Danielle and
(02:57):
the movie as a whole needs tobe nominated. So what do you think
as a whole the movie should benominated? Honestly, there's some movies and
I'm being like, and I'm nota huge moviegoer, but when I go
I'm very critical. There are somemovies that I walk away from like that
was dope? How did they dothat? How did they? Black Panther
(03:17):
is a prime example of a moviethat I walked away like Wow. And
when I say wow, not justthe storyline, not just the acting,
but the singers, the dancing,the scenes, the sets, the design,
the costumes, the color purple reallytook you there. Wow, I
see this movie. And that's whyI think it was an outrage on Twitter,
(03:39):
ig everywhere when it was not.And I want to say this,
I want to put this disclaimer.It was not just us that was outraged.
Mm hmmm, and that I thinkspoke the volumes. There was a
lot of people black, white,yellow, that were upset that the color
purple Fantasia and also the Barbie moviewas not on the list. Yeah.
(04:00):
I know that was a real shockabout Barbie because Barbie just was sweeping left
and right other award shows and thenall of a sudden, that's not even
on the list. I mean,everything was pink in the world when Barbie
movie came out. They've been winningsome awards and Ken was the only one
that was nominated for not one,but two Oscars. But it's you know,
(04:23):
I think the Oscars remind us everyyear that when they come around,
it's gonna be some movies we neverheard of. Oh yeah, half this
list I've never heard. I neverheard of and I'm like, is it
me? Like, because I've neverheard of half of those, so I'm
very disappointed. I mean, butBarbie was nominated for Best Picture, so
(04:45):
then she wasn't nominated for Best LeadActress. Must not have been that must
Bear he was the only one,because he put out a whole statement about
how come she yeah, and sayinglike, there's no Ken without Barbie facts.
So that was just come on,man. It was a phenomenon,
like everything was Barbie, this Barbiethat. The merchandising in retailers, I
(05:08):
mean, restaurants were having pop upsthat were just Barbie. That, the
promotion behind that movie incredible. Sohere are the nominees for Best Picture.
Let me know if you've heard ofthese movies. American Fiction, Yes,
yeah, me too. Anatomy ofa Fall, No, I've heard of
it, but I couldn't tell youwho's in it. Barbie of course,
(05:29):
The Holdovers, Killers of the FlowerMoon. No, definitely heard of that
one, but I also hear it'slike eighteen hours long, so I'll probably
pass on that one. Maestro NoOppenheimer. Okay, so I've never heard
of that until yesterday my mom waswatching Sherry Show and they were discussing and
my mom was like, oh,Cherry right, they have been winning everything
(05:53):
in a war season. Yeah,I've definitely heard of that one. I
never heard of that one. PastLives, No, Poor Things No,
and the Zone of Interest Because youknow, I'm really not a big moviegoer
and I like movies. The onlyones I knew was like the one I
just said that my mom and Shayput me on American Fiction. I saw
the trailer for that when I wentto go see The Color Purple too,
(06:14):
and it was one that I said, I want to go watch on support
but yeah, highly disappointed. Yeah, man, that's like that's a lot.
So I'm happy about best supporting actressfor Danielle. Yes. And when
I tell you she deserves that roleor deserves the Oscar, she killed that
role. She was exactly what themovie needed, the comical side, when
(06:38):
it got dark, the sad.I mean, she played that role.
So I hope Danielle takes it homefor The Color Purple Family. I hope
me and you can talk about this. I hope fantast you still go because
we just want to see what shegonna wear. Hell out, and I
think her stylists, both of them, all of them. I feel that
they should win an oscar Us forher promotion outfits. Okay, do you
(07:01):
think she'll still go? I wasthinking about that. Absolutely, Yeah,
you think absolutely, yes, that'sjust that's just something you want to do
anyway, even if you're not nominated. Yeah. Do you know how many
people still go and they're not nominated. Just to get an invite to the
Oscars is a bag. So she'llabsolutely. I hope she goes. Oh
(07:25):
she will, and I look,I'm gonna be standing right in for that
TV looking for her outfit on thatred confect because Fantasia, I guess.
I asked, well, no,because the Emmys is more television, because
remember you were shocked she wasn't there, But then we were talking about how
the Emmys is really more right.But no, it wasn't that because she's
not in a TV show. Itwasn't that. I was just shocked that
(07:46):
she wasn't on the award circuit becausethis is her season, like, go
to everything, girl, you're gettinginvites. Go. That's why I was
like, I wonder, she probablyjust needed a break. She took the
break, and I hope she goes. Yeah, she definitely will be there
absolutely for no other reason than tosupport Danielle that too. Yeah, yeah,
she was posting about Danielle and Colemangot nominated not for Color Purple,
(08:09):
but for another movie for is ItRustin or something like that. He's a
great actor in his bag right nowtoo. He made history as being the
first Afro Latino to be nominated inthat category or something like that. So
yeah, he made history and hisoutfits too, winning winning. Yeah,
(08:31):
I'm happy for him, but Ihope I wish it was different. Yeah.
Hey, we've been through this songand dance many and that's what they
were saying yesterday, not only withthings like that, but with Grammys and
other award shows as well. So, speaking of the Grammys, are you
looking forward to it? What amI? What? Come on? Man?
An Awards show? Head? Haveyou heard they announced like the two
(08:54):
first round of artists and Olivia rodergo tell me for you're excited for him?
As I go, Oh, Ilove her? Yeah you really?
Yeah, she's good. I likeBilly Eilish, who is now an Oscar
nominee. Uh yeah, I likeeverybody. You're gonna mention, you know
(09:15):
me and this Travis Scott, Yeah, okay, burn A Boy Yeah,
Luke Holmes, yep. Why areyou looking at me like that? I
think they're all good. They haven'tfinished with the announcements I'm hearing. And
this could be rumor, but somewhereI heard that Beyonce is going to be
(09:35):
performing a tribute to the late greatTina Turner and that's gonna be crazy.
I like that list, but Iwill say I do think they're missing some
heaviators. Oh, they definitely are, and I think they have you know,
they you know, they do thatwhole anticipation thing. So they may
be making more announcements later. ButI am a fan. I don't care
who's there. I'm just an Ijust I It sucks when you hear artists
(09:58):
say how the Grammys is not yeah, you know, and how they withdraw
because they don't be a part ofit. And so did that last year
that the Weekend has had his upsand downs with the Grammy Drake Yeah,
yeah, So that's when it's likeGrammy's kind of has that sour taste.
Sometimes it does, but at thesame time there's some wins too, like
(10:18):
our own Jivy here from Chicago,who won Grammys and made history, and
I mean it's good. A lotof artists from here in Chicago have been
nominated have won Grammy. So I'ma fan. I'm gonna watch it.
I just love music award shows period. I love all award shows, acting,
music, you name it. ButI'm gonna say it. And I
(10:39):
texted to you I love award shows. I really do, because I love
the red carpet. I love watchingthe news and all those before the show
Emmys this year was they dragged alittle for you? That was like the
only one? What's the other one? There's another one? It may be
the Oscars, thinking of No,I think it's the Oscars that also could
drag sometimes. Oh yeah, becausethat's why we were so excited. That's
(11:03):
why we were so excited for theChris and Will Smith slap because it brought
some what excitement to it? Excitedfor that? No? Not excited?
Now? Wait is that the oneyear? Did that happen last year?
My gosh, that will be ayear? Wait is that going to be
a year from now? A yearago that slap happened? I can't keep
up. I can't keep up.I'm pretty sure that was last year.
(11:26):
Because remember the book came out andthen everybody was I can't remember if that
was last year or not, though, let me see, I'm gonna look
it up right now. When lastyear Chris Rock slap Will Smith oppositely?
When it Will Smith slap? No, that was in twenty two, so
see that what that's going to betwo years ago? It's so crazy?
(11:48):
Not did that makes sense? Becausewho hosted last year? I think somebody
tried making a joke about it.Who hosted last year? I can't remember.
It wasn't Anthony Anderson. I wantto say, no he did,
but I want to say someone madethe joke about it. Who Jimmy Kimmel,
the comedian, I don't know.I can't remember mm hmm. Everyone
was trying to make a joke aboutthat. But anyway, Yeah, I'm
(12:09):
disappointing the Oscars. I will sayI love the Oscars. I'm excited.
