See this is why I love our readers, I was waiting for someone to take this alley oop. You win an Internet!
It most certainly wouldn’t be over-representation given the percentage of women of color in America (which is steadily growing). That’s what the tally is documenting.
Kept! Bih kept talking all the way through the commercial break, there’s gotta be a cream for her last-word-itis.
I really need to be stopped.
Actually we covered it before it even premiered on your television. It’s referenced right in the article. Can’t wait til Lizzo’s fart makes a cameo in the show tho!
Yes, we know. CP Time is a thing, breaking news! Yahya love is ALWAYS evergreen and on time, though. So, will have it, indeed. Forever. Thanks. ^_^
*grin*
blue privilege!
Yes, the AAFCA honored When They See Us at their TV honors (it’s a miniseries, not a film) earlier this year. https://thegrapevine.theroot.com/when-they-see-us-angela-bassett-sterling-k-brown-amo-1836632138
Beale Street came out in 2018 so was honored in that slate of films. https://thegrapevine.theroot.com/the-african-american-film-critics-association-chooses-b-1831008429
From my understanding, the association itself is made up of black critics but the eligible selections for the honors are diverse.
Not to mention media usually gets ADVANCED copies of these shows so even though the maximum air date for eligibility is past the nomination date, we definitely have plentyyy of time before that to watch.
LMAO omg I remember The Critic and I almost referenced it because it’s always the first thing I think of when I see Lovitz.
I TOTALLY remember that original casting for A Star Is Born. Still wild to think about that lololol
So... Sleeping Beauty?
Yeah her argument is based on intersectionality. That they would give that amount of money to a black man or a white woman, but not a black woman. So if you’re one or the other (black person or a woman), cool, but not both.
right??? Clive Davis and Co did a number on her rebranding so folks really don’t know she was absolutely about that life unless they saw peeks of it in her interviews like Wendy and Diane Sawyer, etc.
