A non-random sentence from an article with the first sentence: "Political movies are expected to rake in the trophies at Sunday night’s Academy Awards ceremony."
So... "political movies" is supposed to refer to movies with political subject matter, but they win awards because people wage a political campaign for the award.
Too much politics! Remember when it seemed like movies were counterculture or art or something like that?
The "she" in the quote in this post's title is Sasha Stone, who's quoted predicting the award winners this year won't appropriate the occasion and make political remarks: "You don’t want to turn off half of America by making jokes about Republicans."

Oscar nominations.
Here.
Observations: Quentin Tarantino punished. Who's Benh Zeitlin? Benh Zeitlin gets a director nomination and QT is out. Ben Affleck shunned as well.
"Zero Dark Thirty" punished.
The award ceremony is set up to be a solemn struggle between 2 inspiring models of virtue: Lincoln and Pi.
What is "Beasts of the Southern Wild"? Isn't that the question everyone's asking. Here:
"I see that I'm a little piece of a big big universe." Blech!
Obviously, it's Inspiration Year.
This is why I don't go to the movies.
Leave me alone, Hollywood.

Catching up on the news about Elizabeth Warren.
1. "The University of Pennsylvania, where Warren worked from 1987 to 1994, listed her as a minority in a 'Minority Equity Report.' The report comes after Harvard Law School claimed Warren as a diversity hire in 1996."
2. "There is nothing left of the claim that Elizabeth Warren is 1/32 Cherokee. The documentary sources have been debunked, and the genealogist and genealogical society which originated the story and upon whom the Warren campaign relies are not talking."
3. As for Warren, she says: "I feel like Scott Brown is raising ugly insinuations and I think he is doing it because he doesn’t want to talk about what is happening to Americas families. Middle class families are getting hammered and 72 hours ago Scott Brown voted to hammer them harder. And that is what this campaign should be about. Whose side do you stand on?"
4. Meanwhile: "Ben Affleck, Matt Damon to host Warren fundraiser."
