Director Daniel Scheinert took home the best director title along with Daniel Kwan at the 2023 Oscars, but Scheinert had something to say for those looking to restrict drag.
Jimmy Failla said the reason viewership of Hollywood award shows is declining is because celebrities abandoned their aspirational roots in favor of activism.subtly clapped back at anti-drag legislation being passed in some state legislatures in his Oscars acceptance speech for best director Sunday night, defending drag for kids as a"threat to nobody."
"We want to dedicate this to the mommies – all the mommies of the world – to our moms, specifically my mom and dad, Ken and Becky, thank you for not squashing my creativity when I was making really disturbing horror films, or really perverted comedy films," Scheinert said,"or dressing in drag as a kid, which is a threat to nobody.
Scheinert's comments coincide several initiatives to ban drag performances and other adult entertainment on public property in states across the U.S., including Tennessee's notorious HB. 9, which banned adult performances on public property or where they can be viewed by minors. Republican Rep. Chris Todd, who sponsored the bill, touted it as a"common-sense child safety bill" per a report from earlier this year.
