Of course we’re going to talk about this historic Oscars where Ariana DeBose (The first Latina to win since Rita Moreno) Wanda Sykes, Amy Schumer and Regina King hosting and of course That Slap…though we will need white folks to refrain from commenting for 5 business days.

Affirmative Action could be struck down this year by the supreme court in a case where conservatives have found the perfect defendant to prove it’s unnecessary (though we know it is). We give our 2 cents on Whoopi Goldberg’s comments about the holocaust, her apology, and her two week suspension from The View. Is this a double standard when Joe Rogen is still able to rage on?

Lady spies + Jessica Chastain = has James written all over it as Nnekay already knew, James would LOVE the new action film The 355! Why didn't this move get any hype?
