#and i’m upset that he isn’t talked about more for this
riz ahmed being the first muslim director to ever win an oscar, by directing a short film which was specifically about islamaphobia, and then making a speech saying “the role of story is to remind us that there is no us and them. there is just us. this is for everyone who feels like they don’t belong, anyone who feels like they’re stuck in no man’s land. you’re not alone. we’ll meet you there. that’s where the future is.” and NONE of it was live streamed so nobody got to SEE this monumental moment happen, and not even all the attendees were there yet because the academy prioritised red carpet outfits over ACTUAL WINNERS OF CRAFT… it leaves a very bad taste in my mouth and makes me incredibly angry, gonna be real
