-> ''"So, yeah. [[Film/BohemianRhapsody this]] is a [[SoOkayItsAverage pretty average movie]] from a storytelling and film making perspective. I wouldn't call it "painfully average" since I reserve that for movies that dissapoint me by being average. I didn't expect much from this one, but I like [[Creator/RamiMalek Rami]] and I love Music/{{Queen}} so, yeah, I liked it. But I don't think it's worthy of being a best picture nominee by any stretch of the imagination. Aside from its inexplicable "Editing" nod, it's not up for anything really prestigious like writing, or cinematography or any acting categories besides the one. I don't see why a movie that isn't exceptional in many categories, and have its director fired and replaced by someone else needed to be nominated. [[Film/SoloAStarWarsMovie Solo]] was another movie that had its director fired and replaced, ultimately making for a fine, pretty standard movie. Why wasn't Solo not nominated? Hell, it has a higher score on IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes. What's stopping any other perfectly decent movie from getting a nomination? Actually, better question; why couldn't an universally loved movie like Film/Paddington2 get a nomination? What's stopped [[WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderverse Into the Spiderverse]]? Or Film/EighthGrade? Or Film/TheBalladOfBusterScruggs? Why would you nominate such an unexceptional movie over something universally liked?!"''

->''"Someday, Creator/StevenSpielberg will win his Oscar. This year he was rebuked and snubbed, and so Hollywood will provide the happy ending and give him an Oscar two or three years from now, and people will explain that it is 'really' for ''The Color Purple.'' That's the way the Oscar game has always been played."''
-->--'''Creator/RogerEbert''' on ''Film/TheColorPurple''[[note]]Ironically, when he ''did'' finally win in 1994 - eight years later - it was for ''Film/SchindlersList'', the most acclaimed film of TheNineties - one of the ''very'' few times a winner who was "due" ''still'' managed to win for the "right" movie.[[/note]]

->''"In any correctly balanced world, [[Creator/KirstenDunst (Kirsten) Dunst]] would stride away with the Oscar while throwing up her arms like a Series/{{Maury}} guest in a ''"Whut? Whut? Ya’ll know I’m all that…"'' but [[Film/TheIronLady Streep did Thatcher]], so that’s probably not happening."''

->''"So, the UsefulNotes/{{Grammy|Award}}s are a joke. They've always been a joke. Me being so obvious as to point out that the Grammys are joke makes ''me'' kind of a joke. No one on earth sees a Grammy as ''any'' indicator of quality... And nowhere does the Grammys seem to get it wrong more often than the '[[DeweyDefeatsTruman Best New Artist]]' Grammy, which all too often seems to go to flameouts, flash-in-the-pans, and all-around footnotes in music history. It's the MaddenCurse of music."''

Of course, like any other hall of fame, it's also a total sham...would you believe the Music/BackstreetBoys have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame? Sure you would; they sold a shit-ton of records and had a huge impact on the direction of popular radio in their day. You know who doesn't have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame? That's right, Music/{{NSYNC}}. That's like only giving Pepsi a star on the soda walk of fame."''

->''"Once upon a time, the highest American distinction that could befall fifty-two men and women in a given year was to have one's face on the cover of ''Time'' magazine. Even [[Creator/WHAuden Auden]] was thrilled when he heard that he was the subject of a cover story, and deeply hurt when it was cancelled because the managing editor, nodding beneath his flat rock, had been told that [[HeteronormativeCrusader Auden was a fag]] and no fag could ever be so honored. This changed in time, but too late for Auden."''

->"[[SelfTitledAlbum Beyoncé]] ''and'' Music/{{Lemonade}} ''are great, important works of art. It feels like we might look back on this time as the beginning of Music/{{Beyonce}}’s classic period, something very few artists have. The unfair, [[PrecisionFStrike fucked-up]] part of it all, however, is that it’s actually going to take Beyonce making an album as earth-shattering as ''Music/{{Innervisions}} ''or'' Music/SongsInTheKeyOfLife ''to beat the next collection of Music/TaylorSwift songs [[RoadTripPlot about road trips]] for the Album of the Year Grammy.
