Viola Davis gets real & talks her career in Hollywood in her latest interview

0
0


The game-changing opportunity that came with playing Annalise Keating :
"I’m 52 and darker than a paper bag. Women who look like me are relegated to the back of the bus, auditioning for crackheads and mammas and the person with a hand on her hip who is always described as ‘sassy’ or ‘soulful’. I’ve had a 30-year career and I have rarely gotten roles that are fleshed out, even a little bit. I mean, you wouldn’t think [these characters] have a vagina. Annalise Keating has changed the game. I don’t even care if she doesn’t make sense. I love that she’s unrestricted, that every week I actually have to fight [showrunner] Peter Nowalk not to have another love scene. When does that ever happen?"

To play a woman in touch with her own sexuality and desire :
"I always felt in playing sexuality you have to look a certain way, to be a certain size, to walk a certain way. Until I realized that what makes people lean in is when they see themselves. There’s no way I am going to believe that all women who are sexualized are size zero or two, all have straight hair, all look like sex kittens every time they go to bed and want sex from their man, all are heterosexual. I am mirroring women. I always say it is not my job to be sexy, it’s my job to be sexual. That’s the difference."


The wage gap in Hollywood :
“Caucasian women have to stand in solidarity with us. And they have to understand we are not in the same boat.”

If the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements would have gained momentum if brought forward by women of color:
"No. Recy Taylor came forward in 1944 when she was gang raped by six men in Alabama. Tarana Burke was the founder of the #MeToo movement in 2006. There are plenty of black women who have come forward. I don’t think people feel we deserve the same empathy. Or investment. We are not as valued."

Sofia Coppola Misses the Days When Women Dressed Themselves and Took Risks on the Red Carpet

0

Sofia Coppola isn’t a fan of red carpets these days.

“I miss the days before actresses hired stylists, when women dressed themselves for formal events. There was personality, style—and mistakes. Now everyone looks the same, with perfect grooming, gowns, and brand-new jewelry, as they parade a catalog of luxury items. It’s disappointing that actresses are expected to hire a stylist along with an agent and manager. Not only do they have to be good actresses, they are also all expected to be fashion icons.”

“I wish we lived in a culture where the actresses who aren’t afraid to take daring roles in films could also take some chances and dress like themselves. I wish the business of fashion wouldn’t get in the way of personal style and self-expression, and would give us ­something to dream about.”

“I love when you see an actress who looks like herself, even if her look isn’t perfect. But for the most part, stars are done up in a glamorously generic uniform—a look so professionally executed that real women could never come close to achieving it for a formal event in their lives.”

    "Usually Ryan is the one you want . . . but there are so many outlets on that carpet, why risk it? There’s plenty of other places for clients to get the exposure...”

    When Bob Mackie Dressed Cher as a Showgirl for the 1986 Oscars

    A rebuttal to the Academy for failing to nominate her, Cher employed the talents of Bob Mackie to ensure all eyes were on her nonetheless

    374305

    Bob Mackie is the designer behind some of the red carpet’s most memorable gowns. He's known for doing a lot with very little.

    His most memorable creation was for Cher in 1986. The outfit was seen as "a rebuttal to the Academy for failing to nominate her for her role in Mask"

    Mackie said of the gown: “We had a meeting at [Cher’s then boyfriend] Tom Cruise’s apartment in New York. She’d been in a lot of movies where she was wearing jeans and T-shirts and hadn’t worn a getup in a long time. I said, ‘But you can’t wear that to the Academy Awards’. She said, ‘I don’t care. I don’t want to look like a housewife in an evening gown.’ She was in every newspaper the next day; she’s not so dumb.”

    Cher admit some regrets about the dress: “I knew some people in the Academy didn’t think that I was a serious actress. I always felt a bit sad that I presented Don Ameche with his Best Supporting Actor Award in that outfit. It seemed to make him a little nervous.”

    Tunisia's Ministry of Culture has banned the Oscar-nominated film Call Me By Your Name. The film was set to be screened in Tunis on February 28.

    Lassaad Goubantini, the film's distributor, called the decision an "attack on liberties" due to the film's subject matter and that it is contrary to the Tunisian Constitution.

    Tunisia continues to punish homosexuality with prison sentences.

    Timothee Chalamet Is The Heartthrob We Need

    0


    - In 'Call Me By Your Name' scrawny, delicate-featured Chalamet had more sex appeal than a real-life Ken doll, Armie Hammer
    - He single-handedly inaugurated a "revenge of the twink" era
    - His type of masculinity is more emotional and nuanced and provides a much needed refuge from toxic masculinity
    - He doesn't possess dangerous masculine qualities and feels like a safe space for women's desire
    - After decades of watching beautiful actresses swooning over buff, aggressive suitors, we've come to accept misogyny and power exploitation
    - For every progressive portrayal of masculinity, there's another "Fifty Shades Freed,” “Blade Runner” or “The Wolf of Wall Street”
    - And most of the young actors could easily play quarterbacks: Ansel Elgort, Michael B. Jordan, Zac Efron, Daniel Kaluuya
    - Chalamet has a universal sex appeal by being a European trilingual cigarette smoker but isn't the type of man women have been taught to like
    - He defies traditional stereotypes by coming across as an earnest goof and not pretending to be a macho
    - "During a time when women are grappling on a daily basis with the many ways that men have failed us, it’s at the very least comforting to dream of a better, Chalamet-filled future"

    Conservatives are outraged after 'Will & Grace' made a joke about Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham having sexual tension.

    Republican conservatives are mad that a crude joke would be aimed at the ailing Senator McCain during his health crisis.

    Many from the Right claim the sitcom went too far when joking about the Senator's sexual identity.

    One Conservative stated "It's quite remarkable that Hollywood lectures the rest of the country to be more tolerant yet they continue to make bigoted jokes at the expense of conservatives"

    Ben Brafman (Weinstein's lawyer) said in an interview that a woman having sex with a Hollywood producer to advance her career is "not rape"

    He told The Times: "If a woman decides that she needs to have sex with a Hollywood producer to advance her career and actually does it and finds the whole thing offensive, that's not rape."

    "You made a conscious decision that you're willing to do something that is personally offensive in order to advance your career."

    Jennifer Lawrence & Jodie Foster will present Best Actress at Sunday's Oscars, Emma Stone will not

    Since Casey Affleck finally did something of remote decency and said he wasn't going to the Oscars, Best Actress Oscar winners Jodie Foster (The Accused; Silence of the Lambs) and Jennifer Lawrence (Silver Linings Playbook) will present the Actress in a Leading Role Oscar to fellow white Best Actress winner Frances McDormand.

    Apparently, Emma Stone will NOT be presenting Best Actor as per tradition, and now Oscar winners Jane Fonda (Coming Home; Klute) and Helen Mirren (The Queen) will be handing that away to hackjob abuser Gary Oldman.

    This answers the question of why Jennifer would be at the Oscars (besides making a beeline to future fuck buddy Timbo Chalamet), as she mentioned earlier she wasn't sure how she was going to act when she saw Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet on Sunday.
