Thread: All 10 Best Picture nominees of the 96th Academy Awards as scenes from THE SIMPSONS #Oscars2024 1) AMERICAN FICTION

In response to a personal attack by President Donald Trump the night before, Pope Leo told journalists on the papal plane to Algeria: “I have no fear of the Trump administration or speaking out loudly of the message of the Gospel, which is what I believe I am here to do, what the Church is here to do. We are not politicians. We don’t deal with foreign policy with the same perspective he might understand it, but I do believe in the message of the Gospel, as a peacemaker.” (Video: @OSVNews)

Deeply reported story by @maggieNYT and @jonathanvswan about an extraordinary pitch/presentation Netanyahu made to convince Trump to go to war with Iran, including catastrophically wrong Israeli assumptions about how easy it would be to win.

@mcastimovies @TheAVClub Congrats!

Some professional news: I have a new home at @TheAVClub. So excited to join this incredible team. 💜

@KingRocket1 @SketchesbyBoze The fuck we did. Among other things we had Monty Python and the Holy Grail on VHS, King Arthur and the Knights of Justice on Sat morning cartoons, Sean Connery as Arthur in First Knight, and a Merlin prime time TV miniseries starring Sam Neill

@SketchesbyBoze lol. That is not true at all except people could read. Nobody knew a thing about King Arthur

This might surprise younger people but in the ‘90s most of us knew how to read & were culturally literate. You could mention King Arthur or Citizen Kane and everyone knew what you meant. We were capable of writing essays. We had educational TV. We have lost so much, so quickly.

@3YearLetterman Permanent standard time

I literally cannot name one positive thing that the state of Arizona has going for it

Very well-deserved, congrats Katie!!!

@eventualforever @firstshowing And three more than Thomas Newman

@NextBestPicture 20/24

20/24 How did you all do? #Oscars #Oscars2026

As someone who ghostwrote annual reports re: women Oscar nominees for over a decade, this moment should not be understated. Very happy to see history made tonight!

Even more retired as an Oscar watcher this year than last, but my last minute picks today still netted me 20/24. I’ll take any 20+ score as always 🤘

@QuotesSimpsons1 @JoeyMagidson One of the very best jokes from the end of the Golden Era

Come on, Homer. Japan will be fun. You liked Rashomon. That's not how I remember it. #Simpsons

Paramount/Warner Bros is not a done deal. These two Hollywood titans have not cleared regulatory scrutiny — the California Department of Justice has an open investigation, and we intend to be vigorous in our review.

Never realized until today that Pete Hegseth looks exactly like the evil Iceland coach in Mighty Ducks 2.

oh you’re off twitter for lent? Lent is about suffering, you should be here 24/7

@smithrowsey Also appeared with Hackman in The Firm in 93!

One rarely mentioned reason that 40+ year-olds love Tom Cruise was his early-star insistence on “apprenticing” or letting 60s/70s Great Actors make a fool out of him 86: Newman 88: Hoffman 90: Duvall 92: Nicholson Look at that list, you get one more sense of what Duvall meant

Economy so bad that the WSJ is running Marxist headlines

John Williams’ family posted this picture of the legendary composer celebrating his 94th birthday

@MaharajNav1987 @alexL_E_I I hate that I’m old enough to remember when Crowder voiced the Brain on Arthur for a couple of years.

@alexL_E_I Don't forget Steven Crowder. He's my favorite. A failed actor and failed comedian. Amy Schumer really schooled him and he's never been ok since.

i talk about this all the time. it’s the same as Ben Shapiro being a failed screenwriter, Bannon being a failed Hollywood guy, Vance being a failed lib pundit—a lot of their reaction against these liberal culture institutions is psychological founded on their desire to be in them
