"The Oscars are run by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), a professional honorary organization of over 11,000 film industry artists and leaders. The organization is led by CEO Bill Kramer and President Lynette Howell Taylor, with a Board of Governors responsible for strategic direction."

All he has to do is strongarm Eric and his caterwallerin' wife onto the Board of Governors. With Lara's deep musical connections it should be a no brainer. ...so to speak.

Scanning through streaming options for something on Amazon, because every damn category of shows or movies has her squinty mug right up front like ole Bezo’s TV is pushing her stupid movie on us all.
Hate her mug as much as her raping pedi sugar daddy.

I saw yesterday on Twitter claims about it being the most viewed on Amazon. I’m sure Bezos or whomever has accounts running it on an endless loop.

Next year if Bezos buys her a nomination and award for documentary fiction. How welcome would her and the fat man be there? It would be like the Super Bowl, neither would show up for the embarrassing laughing and ridicule from those elites. KKKarolyin would have to accept and as she blow smoke yo his ample ass with her typical bullshit, all those libs would laugh their asses off and she would throw the Oscar and storm off. To never be replaced.
