I don’t give a sh*t… just bring on Season 2. Talk about dynamic programming. I don’t give many props to many things because I don’t believe in glorifying mediocrity. But this sh*t was awesome. Way to go FX. Way to go Creator Ryan Murphy (like he can ever do wrong). Way to go writers, directors, cast, and crew of American Crime Story: The People vs OJ Simpson. You won. (I’m literally clapping right now).

The question is, Who won’t boycott the Oscars and What shade will be thrown their way?
Alright, sooo… I talk about diversity a lot. BECAUSE IT MATTERS. But I don’t really know where I stand on the #OscarssoWhite issue. I’m really only writing about it because it’s trending and I should have an opinion. So, I’ll make it up as I go. Here goes nothing.
Tired of hearing about diversity in casting?
Yeah, me, too. But in reality, it’s 2015 and there are still many groups of people who cannot turn on mainstream television or go see mainstream movies with people who look like them or have similar backgrounds as they do in it. It’s just a fact.
Network, Production Company, Studio…What does it all mean?
Good question. It can be quite confusing. Here’s my attempt at making it “not” confusing. lol
Do I have to go to grad school or even college to work in the Entertainment Industry?
The short answer is no. If you had asked this question 10 years ago it would truly be no. But in 2015 more people are getting degrees in film, plain and simple.
The screenplay is not the movie!
Wait. Huh? What do you mean? I mean exactly what I said. The screenplay is not the movie.
