Pop Cult: Overprized casual attire, White House cat fight, and Oscar highlights

The pop qween is back! 

Let’s talk about the Oscars. Adam Sandler in shorts and a hoodie wasn’t the most memorable part of the night. Yes, I’m not kidding. This also isn’t the first time Sandler attended an awards show in “casual attire.” 

While this I-don’t-even-care-about-the-Oscars-to-dress-up approach might be working in making Sandler appear like THE Hollywood non-conformist, he isn’t as apathetic as he makes it seem — strutting about in a $175 hoodie (which sold out moments after his Oscars appearance). 

However, the people who are pressed about Sandler wearing his version of “casual attire” to the Oscars are the same ones crying about Volodymyr Zelenskyy not wearing a suit to Donald Trump’s mojo dojo casa house. I think he was the only one who was dressed for the occasion … and Space Karen, but let’s not talk about him. 

Demi Moore did not win Best Actress. While I personally haven’t watched The Substance — I know, big whoops — it is ironic how Moore was in a movie about how Hollywood treats older actresses and ended up losing the Oscar for Best Actress to a younger actress, just saying. Talk about the plot literally plotting.

I’m sure Mikey Madison, who has been described as “down to Earth,” is an amazing actress. On the off chance that she wasn’t, we support women’s rights AND wrongs here. 

Also, who was Adrien Brody thanking for five minutes and 36 seconds in his speech? I can never be this thankful to anyone — except, of course, the person who catches my saliva-dripped chewing gum in a room full of Hollywood’s wokest.

But whoever thought Cillian Murphy should be subjected to the crime of listening to the longest speech in Oscar history (on stage) knew what they were doing. 

Also, is it too late for Saoirse Ronan to win an Oscar for Little Women? Are we over that already? 

Speaking of Little Women, little man was in the audience dressed like a sunflower. Next to Kylie Jenner. Really? 

All jokes aside, and this is the only time I will use his real name, Timothée Chalamet brought a sort of shameless passion to the table (the kind of passion Brody could only muster up while kissing Halle Berry), especially after his SAG Awards speech.

After taking singing lessons for five years, gaining weight, and doing everything he could to deliver the best character possible, Timmy Tim lost to Brody, whose dialogue was modified using artificial intelligence for The Brutalist. Make it make sense. 

Pop off Mike Myers on SNL. I wish someone would have crashed the Trump-Zelenskyy-Just-Dumb-Vance meeting like he did in the skit. While we’re at it, Canada isn’t for sale. Period. And just so we’re clear, Dogeman, humor doesn’t fail when it lies — humor is supposed to be a lie … much like being appointed as a senior advisor to commander-in-thief. 

Side tangent but I just watched someone eat a $19 individually packaged strawberry from Erewhon on TikTok and my day is ruined. Bring back being shamelessly cheap. I don’t care if it’s the best tasting strawberry in the world, I would gladly eat hundreds of bad ones before spending this much on a single strawberry. 

XOXO, gossip girl.
