  1. What a racist and completely illogical take.

    Firstly, “No Direction Home” is from 2005. It’s twenty years old. I wonder how it was snubbed in the 2025 Academy Awards?
    Surely she means “A Complete Unknown” – which was nominated for 8 Oscars.

    The author entirely fails to make or prove a single point, or even remember which films she saw. Are the film losing because they failed to meet the DEI standard? No! And obviously not, as they were each on the short list for multiple awards! She sure implies “too white” is why these films didn’t win, but instead she only proves her cultural ignorance and racism.

    What a ridiculous opinion from the kind of privileged elitist who can afford to share this blatant racism without repercussions.
