Marya E. Gates and Kristen Sales join us for a different kind of acceptance speech this week--an acceptance that yet again we have to talk about a startling lack of diversity at the Oscars. We ask whether gender fluidity is possible in the ceremony, we struggle to hold even a coherent conversation in response to Graham Moore's "weird" speech, Conner floats a conspiracy theory, and we give this year's best picture noms on their "female autonomy." The results are... well, you should just listen. Don’t forget to stick around for what we’re late to the game with this week! Hint: Starbucks lovers. ***Rundown: 00:02:23 Should we thank the Academy for exposing or validating inequality in Hollywood? + 01:03:48 What we’re late to the game with this week + 01:13:24 Feedback/Credits/Next time/Outtakes ***Show Notes: http://connermgood.com/mediaqueery/mq5 ***Subscribe and slide us a review on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/media-queery/id958840266
