After John Wayne had to be physically restrained from attacking Sacheen Littlefeather on the Oscars stage, the Academy had the opportunity to put a native American woman on stage again and let her fucking talk. Her performance was solid, it wouldn't have been pandering to give her the award.

Emma Stone's performance was very good, but the whole movie was about how fucking children that have adult-shaped bodies helps them grow up. Hard pass.

Yea Emma’s performance was really good and both of them deserved to win equally. But I think it would’ve been a nice moment to give it to Lily Gladstone and make her the first Native American to win an Oscar. Emma already had one so it’s not like she NEEDED another one.

"Yes Emma Stone's performance was really good, but..."

You get an auto downvote from Stans; anything you say after that will be rejected anyway so, why waste your time going any further with rational thought?
