I’m honestly so divided on big stars like Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco skipping the Oscars tonight. On one hand, you have to respect the boundary setting. They’ve been under such a microscope lately, and if you don’t have a project nominated, why subject yourself to the red carpet chaos? It’s refreshing to see a couple prioritize their mental health and private time over a staged photo op that only fuels more gossip. However, part of me feels like when you’re at that level of influence in Hollywood, showing up is part of the job. It’s about supporting the industry that made you. By staying home, does it send a message that these prestige events don’t matter anymore? Or is the era of the mandatory Hollywood appearance finally over for good? #culture #entertainment https://thoxt.com/l/CUXZfz 🔗
