The Show

What a way to get on your feet Hollywood and start the show with some Justin Timberlake. He just made it back in the top spot on my Top 5 List!

“Black people saved NASA and white people saved jazz.”

“The only happy ending in the movies this year was in the middle of Moonlight.”

“If you work for anything with ‘Times’ in the title, including Medieval Times, I’m going to ask you to leave. We don’t have any tolerance for fake news. Fake hands are another story.”

That “carry” commercial by Cadillac tho!!

That 16 year old Moana girl is so cute—the breath at the end of “oh wow I did it.”

Most moving speech, Moonlight Best Adapted Screenplay winner. “We’ve got your back. For all those black and brown boys, who are not gender conforming, we’re trying to show you, you. This is for you!” Tarell Alvin McCraney screenplay writer for Moonlight. 

What just happened?!?


It’s Miss Universe all over again!  Where is Steve Harvey?  MOONLIGHT not LA LA for Best Pucture, the way it should be-such a great, bold, brave and moving piece of cinamatic art MOONLIGHT!!

“…and all you people out there who think there’s no mirror for you, that your life is not reflected, the Academy has your back. The ACLU has your back. We have your back. And for the next four years, we will not leave you alone. We will not forget you.” Barry Jenkins, Moonlight
