Members amybrickwallace Posted January 24, 2018 Members Share Posted January 24, 2018 That sounds like a horror movie. The scary thing is that this is reality. Good for them!! They are indeed strong, brave and resilient. I'm proud of them for making their voices heard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted January 25, 2018 Members Share Posted January 25, 2018 How apt that the organization is called the President's Club! Presidents Club proves the habits of the expense-rich sexist old boys network will die hard 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChitHappens Posted January 25, 2018 Members Share Posted January 25, 2018 It's ridiculous that he would be asked! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted January 25, 2018 Members Share Posted January 25, 2018 I'm sure he was discouraged from participating, but it is the tradition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JaneAusten Posted January 25, 2018 Members Share Posted January 25, 2018 I watched the sentencing yesterday on MSNBC and it was gratifying then of course MEN were cursing out the judge for claiming she was inviting him to be gang raped or murdered in prison based on her comments. Seriously they can take a seat protecting this monster. I know we are supposed to believe in rehab but he still doesn't think he did anything wrong. There are so many disturbing aspects of this but the one I really struggle with was what about where these athletes were examined and they had a parent in the room. Seriously I don't even know what to say about the ignorance of these parents. In their own way complicit 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted January 25, 2018 Members Share Posted January 25, 2018 Yes, for years the previous year's Best Actor winner has presented the Best Actress Oscar, and vice versa. Do we know who will present in his place? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted January 25, 2018 Members Share Posted January 25, 2018 That hasn't been announced yet as far as I know. Maybe it'll be a woman. I've seen people suggest having Mira Sorvino do it as a #metoo statement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted January 25, 2018 Members Share Posted January 25, 2018 That's an awesome idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 25, 2018 Members Share Posted January 25, 2018 Personally, I always thought it was ridiculous to have men present Best Actress, women present Best Actor, and so on. If I had my druthers, the previous year's winner in that category would be the one presenting the next year. IOW, whoever won Best Actress LAST year should present Best Actress THIS year. To tell you the truth, I always thought was David Copperfield was gay. So this news is kinda surprising to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted January 26, 2018 Members Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) I understand what you're saying, but what if last year's winner was nominated in the same category this year and won? Would he/she present AND accept his/her own award? I remember his long relationship with Claudia Schiffer. He has a young daughter with his current girlfriend.
