Ariana Dubose is first openly queer person of color to win acting Oscar

and brave.

What on earth is "queer" supposed to mean this week?

Wake me when it's a man

She is stunning

In other words, she is a cunt. She also didn’t deserve that Oscar, but she fits the bill for triple-oppressed, so she gets it.

What will be her follow up role? Maybe, a lesbian version of "A Marriage Story" with Kate McKinnon.

Quite big tits.

R5, the only cunt is you. In case, you haven't noticed there aren't a ton of out people winning acting Oscars, they prefer to award "brave" straight men who play gay characters

Doesn't queer just mean that you find other same sex people attractive? It doesn't mean you want to have sex with them.

Oh, look, a white man is winning an Oscar right now, but r5 insists that people only win because they're oppressed. Huh, weird.

R9, she's in a relationship with a woman

R8 in the best supporting actress category?

She’s from Wilmington

She still stunk.

Isn’t she the first openly queer person to win an acting Oscar period! Kevin Spacey and Jodie Foster were closeted when they won theirs.

R14 prefers all the "brave" straight men who play gay characters

R16, she doesn't deserve an Oscar simply because she's "queer." And my saying her performance stunk has zero to do with her sexuality.

I loved her in WSS. The movie is meh

R16 you keep deflecting by pointing out that straight white men are winning Oscars. That's not the point. She did not give a better performance than anyone in her category—Dunst, Ellis, and Buckley all gave better performances by a mile—but she campaigned for it hard, and her being a "queer" POC definitely helped.

She’s delightful. Haters fuck off!! There are people more worthy of hatred than Ariana.

Hate Timmy and Kirsten and other overhyped talentless whites.

Kirsten Dunst, "talentless"? Please.

Oops.

R21, I meant Stewart not Dunst. I don’t think Dunst is that great either though. Though I just realized Stewart’s name is Kristen not Kirsten.

R19, that's your opinion. Acting talent is subjective. Saying she won because she's queer is stupid, since ZERO out people have won Oscars besides her. There is no rush to award people just because they're queer. You're just trying to take this away from her because you're a bigot

DL will slobber over "straight" men like Andrew Garfield or whoever but heaven forbid they actually support someone who is out

Again, gay people don't deserve a pass simply for being gay.

R26, I don’t think anyone on this site think s they do. They’re always harder on openly gay people than the straight women they worship and the straight men they think are hot.

No, but you are triggering our misogynist detector, if not also the racist detector

R22, on what planet was Hattie McDaniel openly LGBTQ?

Then you're a dumb fucking asshole.

Anyone who doesn't think this was a token win for identity politics is deluding themselves, especially considering the Academy's history. The media is already blasting the fact that she's made Oscar history on the basis of her being both a POC and "queer". Neither of these things have anything to do with her actual performance in the film—they are also both things that are not in her control, so framing it as an achievement is absurd.

I didn't like Speilberg's WSS, it was a waste of time but Ariana is immensely talented and did a great job. I think it's easy to discount performances when you don't like the piece itself.

That a Blatina Queen 👑 right there!

What the knee-jerk idiots on here are conveniently ignoring is that saying DeBose did not deserve her Oscar has ZERO to do with her sexuality or her race. It has to do with her less than good performance.

Her performance was good but not great. There is a difference. But many good not great performances have won Oscars.

I loved her performance

Why are we pretending that the person who MOST deserves to win or even gets nominated is the won who usually wins?

Judi Dench won in the very same category for appearing for about 5 minutes in Shakespeare In Love.

I thought DeBose's performance was wrong because she was giving a theater performance in a film and everyone else was giving a film performance. So every time she came onscreen she was playing to the back row and it was jarring and wrong. Blame Spielberg for not toning her down, but she was not good.

No it's not always who deserves it. Its who fits whatever narrative is being sold or favored that particular year. The majority of actors that win Oscars should be thankful the narrative went there way.

Who or what is she dating?

She is a lesbian and her last partner was female.

So proud of Ariana

Why, what did you have to do with it?

But is she queer-queer?
