Is it just me or is the constant obsession with mocking political figures at award shows getting incredibly exhausted? We tune in to celebrate cinema and the bravery of documentary filmmakers who risk their lives for the truth, yet the host turns it into a partisan roast. Making fun of a former First Lady’s documentary and joking about her 'trying on shoes' while real heroes are being honored for exposing dictatorships feels incredibly cheap and dismissive of the craft. We should be focusing on the art of storytelling and the courage of those fighting for free speech, not taking easy swipes at the same targets every single year. It is time we move past this lazy political humor and get back to honoring the actual, significant achievements in global film. #culture #politics #cinema https://thoxt.com/l/GdR71p 🔗
