And if you're wondering, "Nina, how did you see it for free online?" The answer is, I am a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the org that gives Oscars to stupid movies like Emilia Perez. I don't live in a big city anymore, so I don't pay dues; not worth it because I'm not close enough to go to the fancy screenings and parties and get free appetizers. Only paying members vote, non paying members like me are known as "emeritus." But we can still access the online awards "screening room" and see all the nominated movies for free. Movies suck so much nowadays I hardly make use of this privilege, but Cori wanted to see it and no way was I gonna let him pay for it, so when he visited yesterday we watched the hot garbage on my iPad Pro.
