Oscars so dumb
2 years ago Covid showed how bad we are

August Alsina, Rick Ross - Entanglement
One of the worst, low budget Oscars in recent memory took place and not many cared to watch it. Don't believe us? check out the ratings report or this ratings report or this ratings report.
But those of us who did watch, did so hoping to see the late Chadwick Boseman win for (it doesn't matter) He deserved a post humorous award just as the late Heath Ledger did for The Dark Knight. But instead, Boseman did not win and Daniel Kaluya, who was the star of his own movie, Judas and the Black Messiah, won for best supporting actor......what?????
Wikipedia defines a supporting actor as...
A supporting actor is an actor who performs a role in a play or film below that of the leading actor(s), and above that of a bit part. In recognition of important nature of this work, the theater and film industries give separate awards to the best supporting actors and actresses.
See where we have highlighted, below that of the leading actor. Daniel Kaluya was the leading actor, but he got a supporting award. I guess they are smarter than we are, because that makes zero sense.
Kaluya was the star of his movie, so how does he get nominated as a supporting actor along with his supporting actor LaKeith Stanfield? So are they telling us that Judas and the Black Messiah starred 2 supporting actors?
That's like saying Jack Bauer was nominated for an Emmy for best supporting actor for 24 or Kim Kardashian was nominated for best supporting actress in Keeping Up With The Kardashians or Denzel for best supporting actor for Malcolm X.
NONESENSE!
Oscars have become irrelevant, political, out of touch and tone deaf. The people have spoken.

The technology is called an NFT, short for a non-fungible token, a cryptocurrency that’s basically a certificate of authenticity
The New York Times defines it as
An NFT is an asset verified using blockchain technology, in which a network of computers records transactions and gives buyers proof of authenticity and ownership. The current boom is mostly for digital assets, including images, GIFs, songs or videos. Most importantly, NFTs make digital artworks unique, and therefore sellable.
Wikipedia defines it as
A non-fungible token (NFT) is a digital file whose unique identity and ownership are verified on a blockchain (a digital ledger).[1][2] NFTs are not mutually interchangeable (see fungibility). NFTs are commonly created by uploading files, such as digital artwork, to an auction market. This creates copies of the files, which are recorded as NFTs on the digital ledger. The tokens can then be bought with cryptocurrency and resold.
Is your head exploding yet? It soon will. Upon further research, we found out that you have to get a Foundation invite, which is a marketplace for NFTs in order to sell art, digital files etc....
Art Min from Medium.com explains a Foundation invite
Foundation is an invite only NFT marketplace where anyone can join, as long as you have a Metamask wallet. As long as you have Ethereum, you can purchase any artwork on the Foundation platform. But, you can’t mint NFTs for sale. Only artists who have previously sold at least one NFT can create an invite that unlocks the NFT sales feature. Once an artist sells a NFT, they will receive an invite code which can be used to invite other creators.
