Shes not winning anyways lmao and her filmography is garbage compared to Cate's Honestly I desperately want Yeoh to win ONLY bc I want Cate to be spared the backlash from the internet. Yes the internet isn’t representative of the general population, but sadly the media pays attention to the worst parts of the internet. I don’t want that shit to get back to Cate as she doesn’t deserve it

Unlike Frances Fisher's, that post indisputably breaks the rules and the fact that today's the last day of voting (3 hours left) makes it all the worse. An unbelievably stupid move on Michelle Yeoh's (team's) part after Andrea Riseborough's nomination drew so much attention to the Academy's regulations.

Frances Fisher at it again. Hell, at least she watched all the movies. IF this e-mail is real, and not a pathetic plant to garner pity votes for Yeoh (which is a definite possibility), then I want whoever wrote it to die a slow, lonely, agonizingly painful, brutally horrible death. Looks like something Matt Walsh or Candace Owens would write (2 people whose deaths I'd celebrate even more than Trump). Also, it's obviously NOT Fisher. Maybe Nick Searcy?

Don't really care about who's winning and who's not but all I want this year is Ram Charan and Jr. NTR performing on Naatu Naatu. Please make it happen, academy.

What a tacky post by Michelle Yeoh…reposting an article and a screenshot of the article where it’s basically saying Cate Blanchett shouldn’t win bc she already has two Oscars. This is begging for an Oscar and the underlying narrative is “Give it to me bc I’m a WOC” Also how is this not against campaign rules? Frances Fisher got shit for mentioning other nominees, but it’s ok for Yeoh to post an article mentioning her direct competitors: Cate Blanchett, Andrea Riseborough, and Michelle Williams http://instagr.am/p/Cpf6S7dJ6w7 She seems to have deleted this now oops.

She has the link to that lame article in her stories from 13 hours ago, but that’s less cringe than posting the entire article which includes the part about Cate Also if it did break the rules, we know AMPAS will let it slide. But she kinda tainted her possible win The state of things man. Begging AMPAS to give you an Oscar bc you’re poc while simultaneously pointing out how racist it’s been. Like you’re begging a racist Academy, where’s the self respect?

The Fabelmans was "Jew glorification"? What does that even mean? There's no way that's a real email.

The article mentions all the other nominees by name, points out some fault (Williams was supposed to go supporting, Riseborough had a last-minute, A-list-driven campaign, de Armas is in a divisive movie, Blanchett has already won twice) and concludes that Yeoh should win.

Honestly, Yeoh posting that article isn't that big a deal, much like it shouldn't have been a big deal when everyone was campaigning for Riseborough.

This kind of hush hush mentality has done WOC no favour. Did you read the article? It was “Give Michelle Yeoh the Oscar bc the white lady already has 2”. It didn’t even say Michelle was the best lol. It was Cate has already won so it’s time for Michelle. That’s pathetic and undermining her own performance She and everyone else have talked extensively about the lack of diversity in the Best Actress wins so need to act like she’s been quiet. She mentions her race in every speech, and she has the right to do that. But sharing that article with that paragraph was tacky. Idc it came off as begging

Only small independent films, nobody saw counts.

This year's Oscars day happens to be my birthday my only wish is that at some point the show goes off the rails and produce some worthy moments of television, last year was horrible, like an elder seducing a twenty-something, so far the list of presenters is not that promising but maybe some of the winners can bring genuine moments of celebration, like Olivia Colman, Youn Yuh-jung, etc... if they choose to go dark, at the globes Michelle Yeoh threatened the orchestra with physical violence, well... now is the time, or maybe in the middle of her speech a special appereance by Lydia Tar, dunno... something, Andrea Riseborough walking the red carpet in Veruca Salt cosplay

I'm sorry, but the idea of a Russian oligarch partially funding the most rah-rah American blockbuster this side of Red Dawn is hilarious

Halle Berry going to present best actress for ‘a moment’. Clinging on to the hope it’ll go as well as the moment they tried to create a couple of years ago putting Best Actor on last.
