Seth Meyers pre-explained the surprise 'Green Book' Best Picture Oscar
Posted in: UncategorizedTrying to make sense of the surprise Best Picture Oscar for “Green Book” last night? Plenty of publications are serving up analyses this morning, including Vox:
And The New York Times is promoting an essay by Wesley Morris that was actually published on Jan. 27, when the chances of a “Green Book” Best Picture Oscar looked slim.
But perhaps the most vivid take on “Green Book” comes in the form of a faux movie trailer (embedded above) from “Late Night With Seth Meyers,” which the show released last week in the run-up to the Academy Awards. “White Savior,” an announcer intones, has “all the things white people love in movies about racism”and then the trailer proceeds to dutifully tick off those clichs.
