    I’ll have whatever she’s having. Janelle is my favorite performer. She’s all kinds of awesomeness, and I’m so glad she brought her brand of awesomeness to the Oscars.

      This award show was boring just watched the clips of Janelle monae, Eminem and parasite team winning. That's about it, no wonder ratings were low. We can see what academy members are doing by including acts just to entertain to say we are diverse. When gal gadot, brie Larson and sirgouney weaver came up. That was awful it's like they didn't believe what they said especially Sigourney.

      I think that's offensive. I mean how can you say white people aren't alive with interest!? White people have a rich ancestory because it consists of Nordics, Scandinavians, Caucadians and many other gene types. People seem so ignorant these days someone should teach Norse mythology or greek anything to get the stigma away.

      @@sarahm5936 White people aren't boring. If you think they are it's only because your education is poor on it.
