All the stuff you can do other than watch the Oscars

Hey people! Happy Sunday!

Tonight is Oscars Night. A lot of us will be protesting the Oscars by not watching this due to the very suspicious virtual shut out of women and minorities from nominations.

An article written in Variety by Tim Gray clarifies the severity of the blatant omission of qualified Oscar contenders, saying "Last year’s Oscar nominations drew howls of protests for their lack of diversity. This year, it’s even worse. “Creed” was written and directed by the black Ryan Coogler and starred a black man, but the only nominee was a white man. “Straight Outta Compton” had a great acting ensemble of mostly young, black unknowns, and was directed by the black F. Gary Gray. But the film’s only nomination: for its screenplay, written by two Caucasians."

Gray clarifies how dire the situation is,  later in his article, saying " Surprising omissions from the actor race this year included Idris Elba for “Beasts of No Nation,” Will Smith for “Concussion,” Michael B. Jordan from “Creed” and the many young actors in “Compton.”".

While I haven't decided if I won't be watching, (it will be hosted by one of the mouthiest yet educated comedians in the business, Chris Rock), should you decide not to watch, here's a list of other things you can do tonight to make it a productive, yet fun evening: 

-Organize your closet (Spring is coming after all).

-Polish your jewelry

-Meal prep for the week

-Take a hot bubble bath

-Curl up with the spring fashion editions of your favorite magazines

-Online shopping

-Online listing (seriously, a good closet purge led to the quickest money I've ever made, guys) 

-Yoga 

-Catch up on some sleep (it is Sunday after all) 

-Laundry (you know you've got to get it done)

-Rip all of your CDs to your hard drive and get them on your MP3 player (because who wants to keep all those CDs in their car anyway)

-Binge watch your favorite show (you know you need to catch up)

-Make some quick cash by doing a few online surveys

-Pinterest (because it will teach you stuff, entertain you, and take up your time all at once.)

-Watch all the Leo Dicaprio movies (as many times as he's been snubbed, he's almost in the same boat as us)

-Have a movies watching party for all the films that should have been Oscar nominated but weren't (although it might only make you angrier)

That's all I got for you loves today. What are your plans for Oscar evening?
