The sad part is that Omarion won a Soul Train award and didn't even bother to show up but is whining over a Grammy. These black artists need to stop seeking validation from these bigoted award shows.
Kanye west's impact.
Making money off of misleading the urban culture has its consequences. I love how being awarded in your community pales in comparison to purchased political awards
Non-competition Sundance premieres that intrigue me:
3. Manchester by the Sea After his older brother passes away, Lee Chandler is forced to return home to care for his 16-year-old nephew. There he is compelled to deal with a tragic past that separated him from his family and the community where he was born and raised. [Cuz Michelle Williams]
2. Sophie and the Rising Sun — In a small Southern town in the autumn of 1941, Sophie's lonely life is transformed when an Asian man arrives under mysterious circumstances. Their love affair becomes the lightning rod for long-buried conflicts that erupt in bigotry and violence with the outbreak of World War ll. Cast: Julianne Nicholson, Margo Martindale, Lorraine Toussaint, Takashi Yamaguchi, Diane Ladd, Joel Murray.
[Cuz even now an Asian/white relationship is practically nonexistent in the media.]
1. Certain Women (Director/Screenwriter: Kelly Reichardt) — The lives of three woman intersect in small-town America, where each is imperfectly blazing a trail. Cast: Laura Dern, Kristen Stewart, Michelle Williams, James Le Gros, Jared Harris, Lily Gladstone. World Premiere [Cuz Michelle Williams, a female ensemble, and Kelly's gotten great reviews for working with Michelle.]
a ****ing MESS @ the Shammy's and I thought it was a celebration of music excellence I saw that thread with the Grammy voters exposed lmao what a mess the industry is ****ed. I do hope Taylor, Tame Impala, Bjork, Kendrick, and Florence win their Grammy's tho (obvi with Taylor not all of them but she will win most)
