00:00I'm into the Oscar situation. So as you saw, as you know, from Javier Millet with his firebrand

00:08speech at Davos to Trump and his firebrand speech at Davos to Trump's winning Trump's

00:12executive order, the polls are overwhelmingly showing that the American people feel we have

00:18quote, gone too far to accommodate the transgender stuff. There's been a clear message sent,

00:26not just by Republicans, but by Democrats as well.

00:30Holly Weird hasn't received said message because the Oscar nominations came out today,

00:36you guys, and I know you're big theater critics, so I saved this for you.

00:42Among the people nominated for best actress in a leading role is a man. A man, I tell you.

00:53Uh, he used to be known up until he was like in his late 40s as Carlos Gascogne.

01:01And now he goes by Carla Sophia Gascogne. He is 52 years old and transitioned in 2016,

01:10so-called transitioned. And for this, he was rewarded with the lead role in this movie,

01:17Emilia Perez, which has been, I think, also nominated for best picture. And it's about a

01:25drug lord who's a Mexican cartel boss who's a male who really wants to transition as a

01:32Mexican cartel drug boss and does so from male to female. And of course, this is like tailor

01:38made for awards in Hollywood at the Golden Globes. Emilia Perez won for best picture,

01:44musical or comedy. I guess it's got music in it, too. He called for trans people to stand up to

01:51bigotry. And now he has been nominated. He has taken one of the five coveted spots for best

02:01actress, best actress. So my basic take is all these Hollywood women deserve this.

02:11And I don't feel sorry for them. But what do you think?
