The only thing I knew about Emilia Pérez before today was the backlash in Mexico to Selena Gomez's line delivery. Upon further investigation (the Reception tab of its wiki) I'm even more discomfited that it was so heavily awarded tonight 😬. Will prob give it a watch at some point & report back
LGBT community In contrast, some in the LGBT community — including critics and advocacy organisations — were much more critical. Speaking for NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour, critic Reanna Cruz said that "it seemed like the filmmaker was painting trans women as liars", while GLAAD called it "a profoundly retrograde portrayal of a trans woman". Drew Burnett Gregory, writing for Autostraddle, asked "How many times do cis people have to learn about us before a portrayal like this one rings as false to them as it does to me?" Mexico Emilia Pérez was not well received in the country where the fiction takes place (Mexico), and in which the film was screened at the Morelia Film Festival in October 2024. Mexican audiences reportedly resented a lack of "sensitivity and context", as well as Audiard's broad comments acknowledging that he had not researched the Mexican context in depth. Gascón's vehement defense of the film against negative opinions about the film on social media also received backlash. Likewise, some Mexicans were incensed about casting director Carla Hool's comments suggesting a lack of [Mexican] local talent as a reason for the primarily non-Mexican cast. Eugenio Derbez's description of Selena Gomez's performance as "indefensible" (and of which he later retracted from) greatly polarised opinion online. Mexican cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto found the experience he encountered watching the film to be offensive and "completely inauthentic".

Art as Galinda, with all the effervescent, effortlessly charming cuteness the role calls for, as well as the flashes of chilling calculation and obsession with status
Screenshot from the beach scene in Challengers, where Mike Faist as young Art Donaldson has heart eyes and a soft smile. He's in a pale pink button down shirt and a beam of light from the upper right is illuminating his blond curls in almost a halo effect Mike Faist's hair is in more of a preppy cropped cut as he smirks while lounging in the Loewe bus to the Met Gala. He's wearing a black bow tie and a huge radish brooch on his black satin suit jacket lapel, a white shirt and khaki slacks.

Patrick as Elphaba, bringing just the right amount of yearning, seething and crackling energy
Josh O'Connor's DLui cover, he's standing in side profile, slightly turning toward the viewer to look at the camera, wearing a big black overcoat with one hand perched at his pocket, the other in the shape of an upturned fist gripping the handle of a ludicrously capacious olive brown bag which is draped over his head and shoulders as if to shield him from the world, or perhaps an errant splash of water. The background is light pink and the floating text with his name and the brand info is a juicy Wicked green. Josh O'Connor looking at ease in Loewe at the Met Gala. His tux has tails so long they curve back a foot behind him on the carpet, and he's wearing comfy looking rounded floral footwear.

Tashi as Fiyero, in some perfectly tailored suit she would wear the hell out of, of course -
Sure she may not have as much time on stage, but she was the mastermind behind it all; without her the production couldn't have come together, the perfect performance wouldn't have been drawn out of the boys
Zendaya looking fly as hell in a dark gray suit with matching collared shirt and tie, thick index finger ring and ring finger bands visible in her right hand as she casually poses with her right arm held across her body as though to close the suit, the other hand in her pants pocket. Her hair is in a severe side part such that her curls cascade majestically in a beautiful mane that obscures much of the right side of her face. The eyebrow that is visible is strong and perfectly arched, a subtle smoky eye and a nude lip complete the look. Zendaya's head is tilted back so you can see her whole face now, the angle creating a bedroom eye effect, lips parted. The slim tie with its dyed pattern, almost like dark watercolor, is more visible in this shot. Everything is tailored immaculately to complement her frame. In the background a blurry red clad woman appears to be staring in her direction.

Walk with me, Challengers nation... Challengers AU where our protagonists are in performing arts academies instead of tennis, and the sheer force of their chemistry/Tashi's vision leads to them pioneering a genderbent run of Wicked on Broadway...
In the foreground Mike Faist and Josh O'Connor sit leaning toward one another, forearms resting on a glass top table but avoiding each other's gaze, slightly out of focus as Zendaya sits directly opposite the viewer, gazing straight at you with her chin perched on her hands, elbows resting on the table. Her gaze is thoughtful, perhaps calculating, much like the signature expression of that chess champion in the Queen's Gambit. Photo is from the NYT Challengers photoshoot by Chantal Anderson.

RIP my phone that my twxtter account of the same @ was on... Will try to get back into that account eventually but it's about time to set up a virtual temple to ATP here too.
Huge picture of Android smiley with glowing pink cheeks being hit by three tennis balls at once. The balls are placed where hearts usually are in the standard blushy smiley heart-covered emoji. Throuple truthers unite!
