Are the Oscars Too Prude?
Now for something a little different... Mashable Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko is asking the tough questions: Are the Oscars "horny" enough?

The article delves into which movies might have been unfairly "snubbed" due to their themes, raising an interesting debate about the Oscars' evolving standards and the types of stories they choose to celebrate. It's a fascinating read that challenges us to think about the boundaries of acceptable content in mainstream cinema.
