Mo’Nique, a documented philanthropic sandwich-buyer and the butch Ma Rainey of my dreams, does not want to hear anymore of this Oscars nonsense. What does she want? Equal pay.

This Sunday, the biggest names in Hollywood will gather at the 88th annual Academy Awards. If you’re looking to win this year’s Oscar pool, or just want to see some of the year’s most highly acclaimed movies, here’s where you can watch all of this year’s Oscar nominees.

After examining every Best Actor and Best Actress winner in Oscars history, Fusion’s Molly Fitzpatrick noticed something intriguing: the top-winning job for the Best Actress category is “Wife,” and the top-winning job for the Best Actor category is “Criminal.”

On this day in 1991, the nominations for the 64th annual Academy Awards were announced. (Silence of the Lambs would ultimately win Best Picture.) That’s Karl Malden and Kathleen Turner doing the honors. Not sure whether those are just posters or TVs set into the wall, but either way it’s fantastic.

The Oscars swag bag that made rounds last week, and which included items like a “vampire breast lift” and a $250 vaporizer, isn’t officially sanctioned by the Academy, which is now suing the marketing company responsible for promoting the gift bags.

The D-word became a topic of debate on Thursday at the Berlin International Film Festival, where jury president Meryl Streep commented on the seven-member jury panel being all white.

Who ever said Oscars gift bags were manifestations of absurd extravagance? This year, they include toilet paper, that old household staple. It comes from Joseph’s Toiletries and costs $275, and surely all the hottest celebs will be using it after they cash in their free burrito offer at Chipotle.

On Monday, Will Smith did his best polite sidestep when asked whether he preferred the first or second Aunt Viv during The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, just weeks after the former, Janet Hubert, cursed him and his wife Jada Pinkett-Smith on Facebook. Look at what money can do!

As the Oscars D-word debate rages, Hollywood’s biggest stars are being forced to be enlightening. The latest takes come from Helen Mirren, who says this year’s Academy nominations “just so happened to be that way,” and Ethan Hawke, who supports an Oscars boycott.

Speaking at the Makers Conference earlier today, Halle Berry said that she was “heartbroken” over the continued lack of inclusion and diversity in Hollywood films. Berry, who made history in 2002 when she became the first woman of color to win an Oscar for a leading role, called Hollywood’s sameness the “elephant in…

Have ya heard that the Oscars have a diversity problem? In one of multiple subtle and not so subtle moves to remind the public that the Academy does actually know that people of color exist, they’ve added some oh so diverse new presenters to the ceremony.

The #OscarsSoWhite debate has made its way to the White House and, to no surprise, President Barack Obama thinks Hollywood could stand to be a tad more diverse.

As more and more opinions on the #OscarsSoWhite controversy are being collected, it has now reached past the world of entertainment and into politics. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton spoke her thoughts regarding the Academy’s overwhelming whiteness and this year’s lack of nominees of color. “I think…

Straight Outta Compton was nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. This is notable not only because it’s the critical and commercial hit’s only Oscar nomination, but because it means the film’s only representatives at the ceremony will be white. When the words “Straight Outta Compton” are uttered by…

Hollywood has just learned a new word: diversity! The movie business has always been massively white, but only recently, in the wake of the #OscarsSoWhite campaign, has the Academy perked up and outlined plans for widespread changes designed to equalize its membership and voting process.

In a Friday interview with The Wrap, Julie Delpy responded to criticism over the Academy’s lack of diversity with some unfortunate comments. Delpy, who is a two-time Oscar nominee, said:

On Friday, Oscar nominee Charlotte Rampling had some opinions about the Academy Awards and race and just couldn’t keep them to herself. The daughter of a fashion heiress and a British army officer, said that the #OscarsSoWhite movement is “is racist to whites.” “One can never really know, but perhaps the black actors…

In response to the overwhelming whiteness of this year’s Oscars (and Hollywood’s diversity problem in general), and as promised by president Cheryl Boone Isaacs, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has introduced a major overhaul to their membership process.
