There’s a lot of confusing information out there but this here is the real true history of LGBTQ+ nominees for Lead and Supporting Actress Oscars — a field in which queer roles are often rewarded, but out queer people very rarely are.

I’m not sure how you like to enjoy Oscars night! But I like to order in take out while wearing Pjs and eat a pint of ice cream. The other part of my tradition is to check out what all the gays are wearing and pop off lil jokes!

Pull up a chair, pour yourself a whiskey, and let’s talk about the whitest Oscars in decades.

Oscars 2010 “Live-Blog”/Open Thread with Autostraddle! Plus we make up for a year without film coverage by giving you our opinion on the 2010 Oscar Nominees! Get out your laptop, there will be lots of gay people, but no Jay Manuel.

Drew and Riese discuss this years slate of Oscar films, except FYI Drew did NOT watch “Mank,” and Riese did watch “Mank,” and it wasn’t fun, so!

“Okay so Christian Bale plays… Mr. Ferrari. And Matt Damon plays… Henry Ford?”

It was a pretty exciting night for queer and trans folks at the 90th Academy Awards!

Black femmes won Oscars weekend, starring: Janet Mock, Janelle Monáe, Angelica Ross, Billy Porter, and MJ Rodriguez! Also, links about why we still don’t believe survivors, moms starting a housing rights revolution, and more.

And can we talk about Paul Tazewell, first Black Queer man to win an Oscar for costume design?

Reneé Rapp and Towa Bird appear to have hard launched last night.

Master of None’s third season will focus on Lena Waithe’s Denise, celebrating lesbian athletes for Lesbian Visibility Day, Whoopi Goldberg is writing a superhero movie about an older Black woman, why Jasika Nicole won’t do cop shows anymore, and more.

“I am so sorry I made a wish on a monkey’s paw for a trans lesbian musical to get an Oscar nomination and it resulted in us all having to suffer through Emilia Pérez.”

It’s time for our fifth annual Oscars chat and this is the best batch of films we’ve ever discussed! Join us as we journey through all the Best Picture nominees in anticipation of the 2024 Oscars ceremony.

Riese: “Does the driver count as a lesbian character do you think?”
Drew: “How could she not be?? Did you see her blazers??”

“Does the Academy just love war? They want to GET INTO THE TRENCHES. Well not me. I prefer not to trench. Unless it is Lydia Tár’s trench coat.”

In case you missed today’s Oscars news, I got you covered. Also: On aging exuberantly (alright now!), Alison Bechdel talks the inefficacy of censorship, and they are retiring Sue Bird’s jersey.

When it looked like Brokeback was going to sweep awards season, I couldn’t believe it. Queerness wouldn’t be a joke anymore.

If you want to see women or people of color being celebrated, you’d better hope the 2014 awards are still on your DVR.

Here’s hoping she gives Gladys a call during the show!

I mean, Chrishell Stause and G Flip attending Elton John’s party….perfect.
