Did the Oscars Finally Get the Message?
“Top Gun: Maverick” earned just one Oscar Sunday night, but the blockbuster still ruled the evening.

PEN America Honors Newly Woke Tina Fey, Ignores Her Comedy Betrayal
Had the group done so a few years back the award would make more sense. Fey smart, witty and prolific, and she regularly rejected the emerging woke revolution.
