Oh, she was great.
Danielle Deadwyler.Danielle Deadwyler, yes, and shes amazing.
We got our Angela Bassett nomination because we knew thats what it should have been.
They dont even like to nominate Marvel people for anything.
But they knew they had to give it to her because she did the work in that movie.
She did the work.She did the work in that.
She did the work.Woman King,to me, was one of the best movies Ive watched.
It shouldve gotten the Best Director nomination as well, if were being honest.
For Gina Prince-Bythewood.Cinematography Im still in shock.
I just thought it was weird, man.
So, this whole campaign, Andrea Riseborough plays an alcoholic in this movie nobody saw.
And people say her performance was actually good, but this movie got no buzz.
Some people are saying, Well, thats actually fair to do.
And how is that any better or worse than studios spending millions on campaigns through the more formal route.
You know what I mean?
She sure did.And thats just what it was.
Well, now tell me who should have got bumped?So you heard it was it the Rizzies?

Come on, fam.
I still think you and everybody else involved inBad Tripdeserves all the awards.
And Tiffany Haddish was brilliant in it.
I wish she wouldve gotten, like, a Best Actress nomination for that.
But that happens, man.
You know,Get Outshouldve won an Oscar.
But it is what it is.
kindly tell me that you still have a pleasant, ongoing relationship with the TSA.
You just go chill with them and kick it sometimes?
Everything was going on.
I was in memes.
And so much love I was getting on the streets.
I go to the airport thinking thats where the love was about to come.
I get to see my people.
You represented us, man.
Im like, Cool.
Wait, hold on.
You arent TSA Pre?Most of the time.
No, this is going to be the Hollywood part of me, but I have the escorts.
You dont even deal with security lines anymore.
Wait, how does that work?
Us peasants dont know.
Wait, they drive you on the tarmac to the plane?Yeah.
Stop.Now Im going to tell you something funny about that.
The first person I saw do that was Chadwick Boseman.
This is the funny part.
I didnt know that existed yet.
But were both in first class.
And were talking, me and Chad.
Oh, God, rest his soul, I miss him so much.
And so were getting off the plane.
He say, All right, bye, Rel.
And then he just disappears.
And Im like it felt like he was Black Panther for real.
Like,Where did he go?
Where did he go?He just disappeared.
And you go right to the car, and it takes you to your car.
Someone told me once that LAX has a secret terminal for celebrities.No.
I aint been to that part yet.
Im just at the car to the plane.
