Weirdly, Betty White is still on the list.
In this modern age of cinema, sexual favors are not required in order to win recognition for artistic or technical merit in the international film community. We’re not saying that’s a good or bad thing– it’s just how the world works these days. But still, if we had to pick, like for science or something, here are our top 5 contenders of Academy members we’d definitely use a hall pass on:
- The Beast from Beauty and the Beast
- Judge us all you want. You know what? He’s tall. AND he won an Academy Award in 1992. That’s good enough for us.
- Betty White
- Unfortunately, this white-haired bombshell left this earth on the last day of 2021, as if that year hadn’t dealt us enough blows already.
- The Lady Holding the Torch in the Columbia Pictures Intro
- Um, telling us we’re not the only ones seeing this? This woman is up there looking like an absolute vision at the beginning of every movie, and somehow no one knows anything about her! What’s her name? Is she single? Her inscrutability only adds to her appeal.
- Oscar
- This is sort of a two-for-one, because there are two great Oscars in Hollywood: Oscar Issac, and Oscar the statue. Both have hot dad energy. Both have appeared pretty much naked on camera. We’d happily bang either one.
- JJ Abrams
- Okay, you got us, we don’t actually want to sleep with him. But we would love to get him alone in a room. What better opportunity to berate him for choices he made on the Star Wars reboot!
