2025 BAFTA Nominations for best actress.

[viques]

Six places.

Only five women nominated.

Guess why?

Is one of them a giraffe?
Or under the age of 18, so a girl rather than a woman?

Nope, it's the other thing isn't it.

Ooo oooo I am having an amazing psychic vision of who the winner will be ...

What a stunning and brave winner they will be.

Can I place a bet on the winner?

How stunning and brave. I know who will win - the stunning and brave one.

Been trying to find out odds for the BAFTAs. With no luck, partly cos betting sites are more interested in sucking you in to open an account, rather than telling you all the odds they're offering upfront.

[edit] But wait! I've found one!

Bet365 are offering 12/1 on KSG (Demi Moore is the strong favourite at 11/10), so quite the outsider.

Well of course! Now that the women who want it enough and work hard enough have achieved full equality, it's only fair to share some of it back, no?

I'm not going to lose any sleep over actresses who are paid millions and who believe in gender ideology (and have helped push it onto the general public) losing out to a male.

Nor am I , but I am not happy about the message it sends out to young, impressionable girls who think twaw and don’t see how this attitude will filter down to impact their own lives unless people come to their senses.

The question should be: "Do you have, or have you ever had, a body that is arranged around the production of large gametes?"

Young, impressionable girls need to learn to ask this question.

PS. I know that the question is wrong but I couldn't resist the McCarthyism.

I don't think I'll bother.

There’s no way he’s not winning though is there? So might as well make a couple of quid. Spending it on one of the many deserving gardens fighting to maintain women’s rights would feel somehow satisfying!

Oh! First deletion for a year or so.
