Pushing the envelope...

it was one for the ages...two icons...the wrong envelope...vanity over putting on those reading glasses...the expected winner...then no, the upset...trick or tweet...someone's head is rolling today...some dreamers in the city of stars are nursing a loss over alfalfa sprouts and sparkling water...but, yes, there was magic in this moonlight...yes, thank that casting director...and praise that script...cheer for chiron, the underdog...bullied and invisible, looking for acceptance in an unforgiving world...cheer for hollywood...taking positive baby steps...acknowledging that there are so many new stories to be told...in different ways, by different people...that diversity should not be just a go-to word to ease the consciences of those who have had easy paths paved with wealth and success...cheer for audiences embracing new directors...new writers...for finding themselves in stories so unlike their own lives...and then again, not...so, as we head into march...and watch new movies this year...plunge into awards season deep in next winter...all i can think of is...one envelope please...and a pair of readers attached...hollywood will always need more than rose colored glasses...
