This is the famous Sasha Stone!


Prsumably, the above is related to her other post --

Sasha Stone wrote this strong reaction... to the non-reaction of the nominees to their Golden Globes nominations as being wary of being identified with a critics association that has been severely thumbed down in recent years ( the Golden Globes), calling the new wariness as present-day Salem Village.
(It is in this context that she gave a thumbs-up to Hugh Jackman's word of Thanks).

This nomination is because of you. Your words. Your direction. Your trust and faith in me. We’ve got much more to do. H x

Looking forward to any future collaborations - on film or on stage!

This is interesting -
re the Oscar politics...and procedures.

Nominations can be rescinded ( if campaigning rules are violated)

Jeff Wells of Hollywood Elsewhere quotes someone summarizing the current thinking among the movie press in Hollywood --

Friendo explains: “As we’ve been learning over the last five years or so, there is much less value in the Oscar race today…contaminated by woke critics and their myopic, anti-populist priorities, the Oscar brand is so bad that smart producers aren’t necessarily aiming for an Oscar association…it used to be that Oscar-buzz movies made money or at least enjoyed a certain elevated status…now it’s almost the opposite.”

Oscar movies have become about eating your woke vegetables and applauding the raising of our shared social consciousness…[and] fewer people are interested in them, because of the woke thing or whatever. Or because Millennials and Zoomers have become totally alienated from the brand. Or because Best Picture property values have gone underwater in the wake of Everything Everywhere All At Once winning all those trophies few weeks ago. The brand has been totally poisoned, or at least miniaturized.

Is it also happening on Broadway?
