She takes photos.

She signs things.

She is like the last person off of that stage every time.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And that's the thing that we love about the Oscars is arguing about who should have won.

And, like, Leo should have won for Wolf of Wall Street, and then he wouldn't have had to win for The Revenant.

And if he hadn't won for The Revenant, then who could have won that year?

And Timothee Chalamet is an interesting example of that this year, where he didn't win last year.

He lost to Adrian for A Complete Unknown for playing Bob Dylan.

Like, the most Oscar-y...

thing you can think of he loses to adrian brody and the brutalists who wins his second oscar and you're kind of looking at it being like oh we could have just given it to chalamet so does he get it for then we maybe could have skipped the most annoying press campaign for marty no he still would have done the press campaign but he'd just have an oscar already

But Marty Supreme, for better or for worse, is going to be a definitive role for him.

So do you go ahead and give it to him now instead of making him wait?

But you could maybe say the same for Michael B. Jordan, who finally got his first nomination this year.

So you want to make sure you get it right so you don't have to make up for it later.

Literally this morning, I rewatched Olivia Colman's Best Actress speech from 2018 when she won for The Favourite, and it's just one of the most joyous, funny things that you have ever seen.

And not all Oscar speeches go that way.

But when you see just what it means to someone to get to that point, like that recognition from your peers, acting, but any part of being creative is about rejection, about trying to push something up a hill, saying, I think this can work.

And a lot of people not believing you until somebody does.
