By all accounts, the Oscars were quite a bit more politically charged than the Golden Globes or the Grammy awards were. While this isn’t exactly unusual, “woke” Hollywood is exhausting, even for the most politically correct, and doesn’t bode well for the upcoming 2020 election.
Race dominated the evening. Several African-American women took home awards, the first of their kind, making history. Ruth E. Carter became the first black costume designer to take home an Oscar, which she won for “Black Panther.” Hannah Beachler became the first African American to win for production design, which she won for “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.” These wins were historic and should be celebrated.
