Who extended Tiffany Haddish' 15 minutes to 16?  

 

I think she's kind of funny, but the media push for her lately feels more and more like tokenism and is very patronizing. The various (white) columnists saying she should have hosted this year and must host next year - if she does, they will rip her to shreds.

For all the talk of "Yay! Diversity!," we STILL end up with white folks winning the four acting prizes.  Thanks, Academy voters.

 

You seem shocked.  I'm sure the next time a black person gets an Oscar for Best Acting, it will be Halle Berry - the weakest in the bunch.  Or a dark skinned person will win Supporting but never the lead!  I don't watch awards shows, and thank goodness!

Meanwhile, the Interwebs are abuzz with Jennifer Garner's mid-clap moment of realization during Frances McDormand's acceptance speech.  Everyone is wondering what the heck ran across the front of her mind.  Me...?  I think it finally dawned on her that the Mueller Device on "Alias" was an utter piece of crap.

 

I've always thought Garner was so hollow - the epitome of the safe and focus-group tested "star" (likely one of the reasons none of her work was ever a tenth as successful as it was supposed to be). It was odd seeing her almost human.

 

(I don't know if you saw it but I put a Twitter link to part of an old Hart to Hart comic strip in the nightly thoughts thread)

I can't stand to see her coming and I hope she goes away real soon.  Like always, Tiffany will be the black person Hollywood embraces and pushes to the forefront because she's a damn clown!  I find her extremely embarrassing!

I'm not, but I apologize if I came across that way.

I'll be very surprised if anyone knows who Haddish even is in two years...

 

I didn't know who she even was until this morning!  And now...?  I wish I had remained ignorant.

I guess she can parlay it into doing very crappy movies that cater to the lowest common denominator and having the media push her as some type of comedic genius, when she's really not that funny...

 

It's working for Kevin Hart, I guess....

I liked Tiffany before she became the It girl. She was extremely charming and charismatic in her interview with Jimmy Kimmel last summer. But she’s playing up her persona to the point of shrill self-parody.

Maya Rudolph, someone who is super funny, looked so embarrassed standing next to her.

It’s the same with Cardi B. Someone with a lot of natural charm and skill, but through overexposure she feels the need to play up her idiosyncrasies and top what she did before. Now she looks like a damn fool.

Yes!  And let's add Leslie Jones to this list.  She's no one I want to watch!

Totally. Leslie hosting the BET Awards last year was painful to watch. So much mugging. I saw that as someone who found Robin Williams intolerably manic even as I recognized his talent (and his impressions were often spot-on). But it’s hard out there for black comedians.

Well at least Meryl Streep didn't win. The bitch gets nominated ever year and I don't think she's that great! I am so sick of her!
