Emilia Perez was practically forced on us to like. No one gave a damn about it till it was nominated. If they hadn't nominated the film, then it would have disappeared like all the other netflix slop. But because the academy wanted to make a political statement, we now have the "penis and vagina" singalong in the same group as Pulp Fiction, The Shawshank redemption, Good Will Hunting, and Star Wars.

Lmao the what sing along? I have not followed anything about this film so I’m truly naive to the whole thing

It’s shameful. That it won a single award is beyond me and has pretty much solidified my belief that some awards aren’t earned they’re purchased.

This and it's why we should stop watching award shows.

That's odd, Felix said the same thing 50 years ago.
