In a series of tweets over the last day, (underrated) actor/resource conflict activist Jeffrey Wright commented on #OscarsSoWhite, nepotism in Hollywood, and the recent enraging Total Mess that is 2016 exposing Problematic Pensioners such as Michael Caine and Charlotte Rampling.

Charlotte Rampling & Michael Caine think they're Oscar-nominated owing purely to the merit of their work. How clear it all seems from there.

#OscarBoycott. YEAH! Nxt we boycott working w/film studios whose personnel is disproportionately white! Wait, that slipped out! #JustPlayin😬

On Social Conscience:

If your social conscience awakened only after seeing the 2016 Oscar nominations for acting, put the mic down.
— Jeffrey Wright (@jfreewright) January 22, 2016

On #OscarsSoWhite:

#OsarsSoWhite conversation is only interesting as it relates to other historically driven but wider, less exclusivist social disparity.
— Jeffrey Wright (@jfreewright) January 22, 2016

On The Issue of Nepotism and Job Availability:

#GreatQuestion 95+% of Hwood crews are 95+% white. In that regard highly retrogressive plc. Many drivers bhind this. https://t.co/g7apyUBVu7
— Jeffrey Wright (@jfreewright) January 23, 2016

Primary, to my mind: lots of protected, legacy opps passed down generationally. Largely gd folks, but tight circle. https://t.co/dQaVoJ8pLS
— Jeffrey Wright (@jfreewright) January 23, 2016

On Racial Bias and Undervaluing Talent:
In response to some random called 'Old World George' who lives up to his name, and doesn't deserve an embed code, asking him: "you think racism trumps money for studios? They've agreed to shun blacks & certain profit?"

Wldn't say "racism" - as in, folks r despised but rather they're undervalued & shorted and the market misunderstood. https://t.co/WWZNI20OGd
— Jeffrey Wright (@jfreewright) January 23, 2016

True @azureflow22 but H'wood is a highly subjective biz & its racial biases are historical record. See Birth of a Nation & Jolson to start.

Daisy Ridley, CrossFit Queen, star of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and darling of good & noble Light Side ONTDers everywhere, is set to expand her IMDB resumé to include Executive Producer.

On Friday it was announced that she had signed up to join Morgan Spurlock as co-Exec Producer of upcoming film ”The Eagle Huntress” (dir. Otto Bell), currently screening at Sundance as the first documentary to premier in their ‘Kids Section’.

"The Eagle Huntress", set in a remote community in the Altai Mountains of Northwestern Mongolia, is the tale of Aisholpan, a real-life 13 year old Mongolian girl who longs to break gender norms and become the first female Golden Eagle Hunter in over 2000 male dominated years.

The documentary is set to follow Aisholpan as her supportive father and grandfather tutor her in the ancient traditional techniques of taming and training her very own eaglet (which have an adult wingspan of up to 7.5 feet, omfg), which before now was an activity reserved for men.
Aisholpan’s dream is to compete against 70 other (male) Eagle Hunters in the annual ‘Golden Eagle Festival, and one day hunt in the snowy Mongolian winters with her eagle, and prove that girls can do anything that boys can.

Daisy Ridley (aka John Boyega’s ‘Peanut’), known best by the world for wiping the floor with some emo guy called ‘Matt the Radar Technician’, will be primarily responsible for shepherding the film from Sundance to its eventual theatrical debut, and had this to say:
"I was deeply moved by Aisholpan’s story and wanted to be a part of this beautiful film. I feel audiences and young girls around the world will be as inspired by her story as I was, and I am so proud to share her journey with the world."

Furthermore, Co-Exec Producer Morgan Spurlock commented on Daisy’s involvement in a press release, "Having her join us will elevate this amazing story to greater heights and spread the magic of this courageous young girl to audiences of all ages."

Director Otto Bell also praised Daisy and recognised her as a true gem, rightly so, comparing the irl adventure and struggles of Aisholpan to the fictional journey of Rey [Last Name Redacted By Disney, ONTD Press Release to Follow Dec. 2017].

"Like so many other theatergoers around the world, I was blown away by Daisy’s recent portrayal of an empowered female protagonist. I’m thrilled she’ll be bringing that same energy to supporting a real-world heroine who is also on an epic journey to win victory in a far away land."

In further news... one of Sia’s latest songs, 'Angel By The Wings', will be featured.

Director Otto Bell commented to Banned Source, as reported by Music Times: "I’m incredibly grateful that Sia took the time to write and record this very special song. It’s a wonderful vote of confidence for our documentary. I could not have imagined a more fitting, timeless piece of music for the film - it’s such a beautiful girl power anthem!"

The now suspended UK hackers posted a video of them accessing Camila's trash bff Marielle's twitter account and going through the DMs. The alleged DMs include Camila using the n-word (er too for loser who think the -a ending makes it non offensive *rolls eyes*) and saying that she would like to punch band mate Ally in the face because she's so annoying and is also developing a crush on Harry Styles. Some people still don't believe the alleged content besides all the rares leaked, response from bandmates, and MARIELLE DELETING HER TWITTER.

Lauren followed one of the now suspended hackers tamarashaw_ and is now claiming that it was an accident and she would never support someone invading privacy no matter what cause we are all human. Fans think this means she is confirming that the hacks are real.

I want to currently address: anyone that thinks I followed anyone who would violate someone's privacy on PURPOSE to spite does not know me.

I added a picture for the "who?!" crowd. If you still don't know who they are, IMDB is your friend: his and hers. They were both in Pitch Perfect.

What do you think, ONTD? Did you/would you each get each other an engagement ring, regardless of gender?

Can't wait to see all your dream rings ;)

- Pandora Lennard, a 27 year old U.K. stylist and modeling agent, was pictured outside Harry's North London house lunch time last Sunday after being spotted going inside late Saturday night.
- The romp comes after Harry was last seen getting in on with Kendall Jenner in St. Barts end of December.
- When directly asked if she had a fling with Harry, Pandora was quoted as saying: "I have absolutely no comment to make."
- Four days after the hook-up, Harry left for L.A.
- A rep for Harry declined to comment on Harry's private life.

Here's the picture of Pandora waiting for a cab outside Harry's house by banned source.

A quick look at Pandora's official site reveals these photos:

Incidentally, it is rumoured that Harry & Jeff's joint birthday celebration will go down tonight at The Nice Guy with the hotspot announcing on Twitter that it's closing for a private party. Kendall Jenner who just got back from Paris is reportedly attending.

Daniel Radcliffe’s farting corpse movie prompts walk-outs at #Sundance https://t.co/16p5S1Smey pic.twitter.com/Xb47grCDK1
— Variety (@Variety) January 23, 2016

Daniel Radcliffe's new movie has been reported as the one having the most walkouts at the Sundance Film Festival. It's about a man (Paul Dano) who discovers a corpse (Daniel Radcliffe) that washes in from the sea. The corpse comes to life by passing gas. "The story unfolds in a magical realist style and features long discussions about masturbation, isolation and the meaning of life. It also features a kiss between Dano and Radcliffe (who continues to flee his Harry Potter image by taking part in a reoccurring gag where his dead character maintains an erection)."
