HE thinks it will be a better thing if American Fiction‘s Sterling K. Brown wins the Best Supporting Actor Oscar, and in so doing denies Barbie‘s Ryan Gosling his moment in the sun. Because the outraged reactions to Greta Gerwig not being nominated for Best Director have been excessive, and Gosling, I feel, needs to be disciplined for throwing fuel on the fire.
Now, appropriately, there’s a pushback against that pushback. No whining or stamping your feet if you’re not nominated in your category. Suck it in, congratulate the nominees and let it go. Let the caning of Gosling be a lesson to all future would-be complainers.
