They Need A Third Whopper

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!

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

    • 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

    • @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.

  3. 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.

    • 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.

  5. Movie: Bohemian Rhapsody
    Actor: Rami Malek
    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.

  9. 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 …

    • 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.

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

  17. 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. 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. 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.

    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

  50. 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.
