Ice Cube gives a sensible response to the Oscar controversy.


I don't understand the criticism regarding awards for film as art. Would somebody tell Michelangelo or Monet that he needed to use more black and brown paint? Would somebody suggest that Da Vinci should have used a different color model for the "Mona Lisa"?

It's a remake of a French film from 2014 that was on Apple TV.

Out of everything nominated in every category
I only saw one movie
Summer of Soul
I saw parts of the Power of the dog but turned it off as the cowboy was being really cruel and an ahole
Want to see Dune but that's it
Best pic winner looks like a chic flic

They should have Chris Rock host next year and come out wearing a boxing helmet.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Wow, indeed! That brings back memories of my father.

If it wasn't for that I think we'd be talking about Venus Williams' dress.

My father was a Navy man
Did not hear F bombs
I got "Hells Bells" instead

My father was not big on the F-word either, but he had no compunction to blindside me with a big smack to the face when he got angry.

Totally missed that. I was wondering why they kept cutting to the blank “Oscars” screen during his speech.
