God you guys are something. That close to the stage? Oh, I don’t know -- BG Hokie 03/28/2022 3:32PM
But they never seat the top contenders that close to the stage. -- vthokieq 03/28/2022 3:34PM
OK then! Thanks for the answer. Good thing we have Oscar experts here -- Coach McGuirk 03/28/2022 3:36PM

Does anyone hate Will Smith for this ? ** -- kingofcassell 03/28/2022 2:53PM
Uhhhh, yeah. Movie execs are speaking out against him. Talking heads galore -- BG Hokie 03/28/2022 3:25PM
+1. Your post is probably the biggest overreaction i've seen so far -- kingofcassell 03/28/2022 3:36PM
Reconcile? I thought it was staged/fake? ;-) ** -- vthokieq 03/28/2022 3:42PM
They're actors - playing the part for the simpletons :-) -- kingofcassell 03/28/2022 3:44PM
