My feature film editorial hot take: No one who knows anything about Post should think that The Brutalist Respeecher "controversy" is awards disqualifying. We steal consonants & vowels from different reads all the time. 2 mins of augmented Hungarian does not invalidate the rest of the performance.

In PDX visiting my in-laws and our tiny Southern California dachshund does not know what to do with this chilly weather and only 9 hours of daylight. He keeps waking up early, sees that it’s still dark, and reburies himself under the heated blanket.
