And donny-boy will be obsessed for months, if not years, to come. Greta is likely to win the Nobel Peace prize. Yet another thing to piss off they boy. I never thought I'd see an Adolph Hitler in the White House. Yet I do.

Michael and Barrack having a refreshing talk with Julia Reichert and Steve Bognar. It's Julia's and Steve's film, for sure, but all are totally on the same page; four people speaking intelligently, talking in full sentences. Times have been better.

The directors win (not the production company). But congrats to everyone involved.
Obama has great taste in film (make it a point to watch the films on his top movies list for this year: they’re better than most of the Oscar nominees.)

Reichert and Bognar are long time respected documentarians.

I get that. Thanks for the tiny bit of joy I had tonight.

Fact is if producers do not produce, then directors would not direct and a film would never have been made.

As I have said to the other negativity here and those that wish to tamp down my pride in this President.

but Julia and Steve finished the film in 2017. Higher Ground acquired it in April of last year. All are due kudos.

Julia, BTW, is an esteemed filmmaker, dating back to 1970:

...even mentioned the Obamas or their role in the film. But their acceptance speech was great.

"Workers of the World: Unite!"



In any case, unless the actual recipients of the Oscars turn them over to Michelle and Barack, the Obamas do not get Oscar trophys.

"I don't know why we can't just use nukes!"

If the guy wasn't so...so DARK, he might console himself by having Convicted Felon Dinesh (anyone remember him?) make a mockumentary chronicling his lifelong victory over the forces of Those Who Don't Like Him. You know, like they make about Kim way over there in North Dakota.

All he needs is an Emmy win, a Tony, and a (honorary) Knighthood.

I bet the orange toad squatting in the White House is choking on his own bile right about now!

make Obama an honorary knight. They have no love for the WH mobster. But they are looking for trade deals with the US and probably would not want to risk the international incident that the mobster make of it.
