Ooft: Did Harry Styles Cop A Savage Diss At The Oscars That Everyone Bloody Well Missed?

This week the internet has been overflowing with headlines about the Oscars. After all, a lot went down. Old friends were reunited, firsts were had and records were broken. But while the 95th Academy Awards had every man and his dog tuning in, there was one little detail we missed – Harry Styles seemingly copping a savage diss by Everything Everywhere All At Once

editor . Rogers won the Oscar for Best Film Editing for his work, beating out some serious big dogs in the category. His win was one of that claimed, including Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress and Best Supporting Actor. When it was announced that Rogers had won the Oscar, he decided to use his acceptance speech to highlight a very important issue: The lack of diversity within the entertainment industry and the Oscars alike. “This kind of thing unfortunately happen to guys like me a lot. Too much most of the time,” Rogers said during his . It’s a sentiment may point to the made by Harry Styles at the Grammy’s following his Album Of The Year win for , over Beyonce’s critically acclaimed . But people were very quick to point out that, actually, this shit does happen to white men a lot. Thankfully, Rogers decided to use the international platform of the Oscar’s stage to highlight this issue. And while I don’t think he intended it to be a diss to Mr Styles, and potentially could be referencing ‘s acceptance speech for Best Supporting Actor, I hope Roger’s speech captures Styles’ attention. Or at the very least, continues the conversation surrounding diversity in film. “I think what [directors] [] and [] are really conscious of is paying attention to is who are we mentoring, who are we hiring, what kind of stories are we lending our time and our energy to tell,” he said. “I don’t know if there’s one thing that is the magic to this film but that’s part of it. I think it’s a combination of good people making good films with other good people and telling good stories.” The lack of diversity at the Academy Awards is a common critique and this year was no exception. While we took teeny tiny steps forward with becoming the first Asian woman to take home an Oscar for Best Actress, not a single female director was nominated for a directing award. Plus, there was a significant lack of racial diversity with no Black actors nominated in the lead actor or director categories. In particular, many punters felt that and were snubbed for nominations in the Best Actress category. Although Rogers wasn’t exactly a household name before his big win, it’s amazing to see him use his speech to encourage positive change. And, as luck would have it, he’s unintentionally become the object of Twitter’s unquenchable thirst. So while the hot new editor is definitely 100% married and attended the awards show with his beautiful wife, I hope he got a lil’ ego boost from scrolling through Twitter. Also, fun fact, it’s not the first time Rogers collaborated directors Kwan and Scheinert. They worked together on the video for and‘s viral hit ‘‘ in 2013. Upon rewatching, it’s hard to miss the stylistic parallels between their Oscar winning film and this surreal-ass clip. But if that’s not a sign to stick with a dream, I don’t know what is.
