What If We Took a Year Off From Kvetching About the Oscars?
Briefly

"The Oscar nominations, originally scheduled for January 17, have been pushed back twice already. This year's nominee luncheon, as well as the accompanying class photo, has been canceled."
"On Instagram, Jean Smart called for canceling the Oscars and 'donating the revenue they would have garnered to firefighters.'"
"The universal impulse to use the occasion to lift up the community warms my heart. More takes like these will arise in the weeks to come."
"I hope those of us not in Los Angeles can resist the urge to slam them for not embracing whichever specific plan we personally think is best; it is the fear of such reactions that often keeps institutions paralyzed."
