They Need A Third Whopper

SOLVED!

UPDATED!

[Blind Gossip] Today is the first day of Oscar voting… and the producers of one film are in a full-out panic!

We already told you that to better their chances of winning an Academy Award for something, they fabricated a couple of whoppers.

The first is that the star of the movie is in a relationship with another celebrity. Lie!

The second is that the lead had no idea about the history of a very bad person associated with the movie. Lie!

Now, after an announcement that signals that Hollywood is actively distancing themselves from that very bad person, they are worried that Academy voters will reject them as well!

They can’t run a regular campaign. They have one week – ONE WEEK – to convince voters not to punish them. They are kicking around ideas right now. They are going to do something dramatic in the next couple of days. They have to salvage this.

Basically, they need a third lie.

[Optional] What do you think they should do/will do?

SOLVED!

Movie: Bohemian Rhapsody

Actor: Rami Malek

Rami Malek’s first lie was the “relationship” between him and costar Lucy Boynton.

Rami Malek’s second lie was that he had no knowledge of Bryan Singer’s long history of molestation.

The producers of Bohemian Rhapsody were really worried when the Bryan Singer fiasco was revived again prior to the final voting for The Oscars. They were very concerned that it was going to ruin their chances for an Academy Award. So, going into the final voting, they were considering options to distance Malek from Singer even further.

However, three things happened.

The first was that Jussie Smollett dominated the celebrity headlines. That pushed the Bryan Singer story out of the spotlight.

The second was that they had a boost of confidence after Malek won at the BAFTAs.

The third was the fading of Christian Bale. Malek’s biggest competition for Best Actor was assumed to be Christian Bale. However, Bale did not do nearly the amount of work soliciting voters that Malek did.

For these three reasons, they became convinced that Malek WOULD win the Academy Award for Lead Actor. Therefore, they decided to spend the final few days of voting putting Malek through a very safe, lighthearted, and upbeat rounds of interviews.

They know that Bohemian Rhapsody will not will Best Picture. But they do believe that Malek WILL win tonight. Therefore, two lies were sufficient.

We’ll all see what happens tonight!

Congratulations to Hwkgirl1 for being first with the correct answer!

UPDATE!

Rami Malek won The Academy Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role!

While Malek did not credit Bryan Singer, Jussie Smollett, or Christian Bale for his win, he did thank costar Lucy Boynton.

First, he passionately kissed kissed kissed Boynton when his name was announced.

Then she gazed adoringly at him on the stage during his speech while he said, “Lucy, you’re the heart of this film. You are beyond immensely talented. You have captured my heart. Thank you so much.”

Awww. Over the top… but better than him awkwardly grabbing her and gnawing on her jaw like he did at the Golden Globe Awards.

Practice makes perfect!

Congratulations to Rami Malek on all of his Oscar-worthy performances this season!

    Rami Malek, his sham relationship with Lucy Boynton, and his claims that he didn’t know about Bryan Singer.

    Additional Hint: Whopper – Burger King – band, Queen.

    What should they do: I think they’re kind of screwed. They should pray that Hollywood doesn’t care about the sexual behavior of the director and evaluate it only for the movie itself. That might work – worked for other perverts. If there had only been a way to get Bryan’s name off of the director credit (like Solo did for the guys they didn’t like anymore and put Ron Howard’s in) then it would have been a lot more manageable.

    Movie: Bohemian Rhapsody

    Actor: Rami Malek

    [Optional] What do you think they should do/will do? start a HUGE word of mouth campaign that says don’t punish all these fabulous young actors because of what Bryan Singer did …

    Bohemian Rhapsody

    Rami Malek

    I don’t know what the producers should do, but I do hope Christian Bale wins for Best Actor instead of Rami Malek.

  12. stickaforkinit says

    The Freddie Mercury movie with Rami Malik and the pedophile director. Malik is not with a female.

    I’m not sure but I sure am excited to see what they pull out of their hats!

    Movie: Bohemian Rhapsody

    Actor: Rami Malek

    [Optional] What do you think they should do/will do? I think they should do nothing, because any last-minute plan would be so blatantly obvious and much more likely to backfire than anything. I’m sure they’ll pull some stunt… perhaps they’ll send Rami ring-shopping, or they’ll fabricate some family tree that hints that he is a distant relative of Freddy Mercury.

  22. EmmaTheRevelator says

    Bohemian Rhapsody

    Rami

    Stop friggin lying! People would be more willing to forgive if Rami told the truth about knowing about Bryan Singer. Coming out of the closet would be good too. He’s talented, he’ll still get work, and would probably be a lot happier living freely as himself. He’s Egyptian so I think it’s a cultural thing why he won’t come out. Homosexuality isn’t really accepted in Egypt. He was born and raised here but probably is scared of his own family’s reaction more…

  25. showmancer says

    Bohemian Rhapsody & Rami Malek
    lie #1 – he’s not in a relationship w/Lucy Boynton, its fake
    lie #2 – he knew about Bryan Singer’s history but lied & said he didnt

    the announcement is Bryan Singer’s Red Sonja movie not going forward.

    Fox will probably have Rami and Lucy do a pap walk on Valentine’s Day or maybe even an engagement announcement. I don’t think he should win after that blatant lie he told, but Im 100% Malek will get the oscar anyway. there’s not a doubt in my mind.

  27. gailpow says

    Bohemian Rhapsody and it’s star, Rami Malek.
    I just hope that Academy voters don’t hold the Bryan Singer scandals against BR and Rami.

    *biggest eye roll ever*

    Rami Malek

    I’m so sorry Freddie for the drama surrounding your story smh

    Rami Malek
    Maybe they shouldn’t have lied about the whole Bryan Singer thing in the first place! I honestly don’t feel bad for them, though I love Freddie Mercury. His memory hasn’t been accurately honored, in my opinion

  41. charlixcxfan says

    Movie: Bohemian Rhapsody

    Actor: Rami Malek

    The movie was trash, should have not been nominated for anything in the first place.

  47. LizardQueen says

    Bohemian Rhapsody

    Rami Malek

    Not sure. I thought the movie was good and he was good. But, not sure if it’s all that hoopla. Just me lil ole opinion.

  48. VegasMike says

    Bohemian Rhapsody
    Rami Malek

    I didn’t have much of an opinion about him either way before awards season, but now – all this BS is really making me not care too much for Rami… And his “people”. Just let things happen the way they are supposed to happen, dude. Quit trying to control the outcome.

  54. Bobscole says

    Bohemian Rhapsody
    Rami Maleck (sp)
    Hope they vote on the movie itself and stop with the lies. They are doing themselves no favors with these see through falsehoods

  55. GretaGuesses says

    Bohemian Rhapsody

    Rami Malek

    They should send one of those Dots from Amazon to the voting academy members. Have Alexa say that she has a message for them from the beyond. Then have a male voice say “This is Freddie Mercury, and I Want it All, so you are Under Pressure to make sure that We Are the Champions! Do as I ask and We Will Rock You and send Somebody to Love.”

    Bohemian Rhapsody
    Rami Malek
    Not sure there is much they can do – people have already formed their opinions. I would be surprised if it win anything apart from best actor but less deserving films have won.

  60. khaegar says

    Rami Malek
    Bohemian Rhapsody

    Rami will probably win Best Actor. But the film itself won’t win anything besides that. Plus Rami will be toxic after the win, people tend to remember this sort of thing, and he hasn’t got anything in the pipeline for the next year besides Mr Robot S3. I hope the ornament was worth it Rami.

  61. plumplum says

    Please .Bohemian Rapshody won best actor and best ensemble at SAG .He won BAFTA .They don’t care about Singer. Singer has many friends at Hollywood and many files about Hollywood s players/executives

  62. mpizzle says

    Bohemian Rhapsody

    Rami Malek

    I think he will donate a large sum of money to an AIDS charity.

    He was fabulous, but I’d like to see Viggo Mortensen win,

  64. oompaloompa says

    Movie: Bohemian Rhapsody
    Actor: Rami Malek
    Not sure what they will do, but I hope they don’t try to cause a faux spectacle around the campaign just so people will pay attention to them after B. Singer’s past history clouding everything.

  66. Poppycorn144 says

    Movie: Borhap
    Actor: Rami Malek

    I don’t care what they do – Hollywood is still the corrupt cesspool it’s always been.

  76. aaaDacia says

    Bohemian rhapsody ,rani malek, bad person is Brian singer. There’s no way people involved with this didn’t know about singers accusations. So guessing they don’t care, guess they’ll keep doing what they’re doing, trying to distance themselves, deny, deny, promote ramis fake romance and hope

    Actor: Rami Malek

    [Optional] What do you think they should do/will do?
    The will continue to pretend like they didn’t know anything.

  85. amagod121 says

    Rami Malik or however it’s spelled?

    What should they do? You suggest a third lie is in the making so I’ll go with this: he’ll say that he had offered comfort to some Hollywood women over being mistreated by that other $exual p¡g, Harvey. (Suddenly he looks heroic instead of cowardly or just non-involved.)

  87. livewyre says

    Oh Rami. When you allow yourself to being a lying liar who lies you will eventually get caught and it’s never pretty. Come out of the closet and be yourself, for goodness sakes. It’s 2019, own your truth, dude. Besides, your body language with Lucy makes it obvious to anyone you’re not into her nor she into you. As for the other lies, yes you knew about Bryan Singer, but you got the part, you wanted the part, and that’s that.

  88. reality check says

    I think what most of them fear is what it cost them to get a job with Singer- procureror victim

  89. Snufkin_the_Mumrik says

    A red carpet romance that isn’t helping the movie get awards? SAY IT AIN’T SO.

    Well, I guess Rami can go sit with the other actors who lost out even though they sold out. Maybe he can babysit.

  90. nycmadam says

    Agreed all around. BR was like watching a movie version of a Tiger Beat article – they whitewashed his gay life and his struggle with his illness too much. I ended up liking Green Book much more than I thought I would; that’s the one that has my vote too.

  91. janedobe says

    Bradley Cooper, while good, should not win because it is the 3rd remake of the same movie. Fun? Sure! Not Oscar worthy though.
    And, Rami like all people in and out of Hollywood knew of Brian SInger’s disgustingness. So, to deny an Oscar over this..idk? Woody Allen, Brian Sing and James Gunn seem to have free passes. Meryl Streep called HW “god” and gave a standing ovation to Polanski. Anything at the Oscars can happen and yet, one is wait for it….LEGENDARY.

  92. KatarinaJ says

    There’s no way they will win. Oscars are political and Spike hasn’t won for previous efforts. Although BK, Black Panther, Green Book all getting accolades may cause split voting in places. That being said, BR was a WHITEWASHING, MAINSTREAMING mess of the story of QUEEN and Rami another Adrian Brody in scope. He’s a character actor and even a win won’t suddenly make an unusual face into the next huge mega-star because he simply lacks the range.

  95. yo1774 says

    Both are pretty bad to be honest, but this is what you get when you are only producing superhero blockbusters

  96. Kerzep says

    Bohemian Rhapsody, Rami Malek.

    They should just let people watch the movie – and say nothing. Rami Malek’s performance is definitely Oscar material and it shouldn’t matter about Bryan Singer and his “baggage”.

    As to fake relationships: they are a dime a dozen in the entertainment world.

  97. bec215d says

    How about Malek making a PSA about sexual abuse, using his “new-found” wokeness for good, acknowledging he was lucky to not have to deal with the kind of abuse many young stars have faced, as a kindof mea culpa without admitting wrong?

  98. showmancer says

    that would be quite a stunt, but I dont think rami malek will ever come out – he’s from a big egyptian family

  99. zappy2050 says

    Thankfully the Academy looked past Bryan Singer’s weirdo (immortal and illegal) behavior and rewarded Rami Malek – which was the right thing to do. Congrats to him. I am sure there are ways to punish Bryan Singer for what he has done – hopefully they will do that

  100. showmancer says

    @zappy

    Yea, cause all these lies should totally be rewarded. The dishonesty really pays off. People are ok that Malek cared more about winning than the victims – that’s sick. he will go down for life as the guy who lied so blatantly about Bryan Singer and pleaded ignorance. It will follow him and his career.
