OSCARS SO

WHITE

Wanted: people of all races and backgrounds

CHLOE MOORES • @CHLOEMOORES13

he Academy Awards are this Sunday. The nominees were announced back in January and received a good amount of attention on Twitter when the hashtag #OscarsSoWhite began trending.

The hashtag refers to the lack of diversity in the nominations.

The films nominated in the Best Picture category all have one thing in common: they feature an all-white cast. All the actors and actresses represented in the best acting categories are white as well.

Ashtonn Thompson, freshman acting major, said he didn’t pay attention to the Oscar controversy until he watched “Beasts of No Nation” with Idris Elba and realized no one nominated for an Oscar looked like him.

“Initially, I was really upset about it, but I couldn’t find or think of a movie that came out this year that had strong black roles,” Thompson said. “We can’t get nominated if we aren’t represented — you know.”

Senior acting major Gabby Reyes said having a few token films about the black experience does not make up for the lack of diversity in the entertainment industry.

“People assume since we had ‘Selma’ and since we had ‘The Butler’ and since we had ‘The Color Purple’ scattered throughout that have won huge awards,” Reyes said. “What people don’t recognize is that though it’s cute and fun to put a little splash of something in the grand scheme of things, that doesn’t really generate equality. It’s more like a force of, ‘We have to do this.’”

Cheryl Boone Isaacs, president of the Academy, said its members

— individuals who vote for nominated films — will be changed in an effort to double the amount of women and minorities by 2020, according to a statement released on Jan. 22.

Donovan Session, junior acting major, said that though working to create more diversity in The Academy is a major step, creating equal representation will require more than a change in The Academy’s voting panel.

“What people don’t recognize is that though it’s cute and fun to put a little splash of something in the grand scheme of things, that doesn’t really generate equality.”

GABBY REYES, ACTING SENIOR

“It will always, always, always come down to the films that are being put out there (and) the quality of film and the publicity they are receiving,” Session said.

“Would ‘The Revenant’ get the same amount of press if Leonardo DiCaprio’s part was played by Will Smith?”

Part of the Oscar controversy is that directors and actors — such as Spike Lee, Will Smith and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith — are choosing to boycott the award show.

The boycott is a sign that Hollywood has traditionally been the voice of change before change takes place, Session said.

“We are the people who put gay people in the media, normalizing what wasn’t normalized back then,” he said.

“That has completely changed our perspective of the LGBTQ community. We have to do that with diversity too.”

Thompson said he believes that musicals like “Hamilton,” the story of Founding Fa t h e r A l e x a n d e r Hamilton played by a Hispanic man with a diverse cast, are a sign that change is taking place.

“When he (composer Lin-Manuel Miranda) was asked why he chose to do that, he said, ‘It’s time for the story of America to be told by what America looks like now,’ and I think that is so powerful,” Thompson said. “I do foresee that one day I will feel represented thoroughly in the Oscars and my everyday life because I know it’s happening in other places.

Just us trying to accept that this is America now and it can’t be what it once was; it can be better if we will allow it to be better.”

Reyes believes that true equality will take place when we don’t have to ask what equality is anymore, she said.

“I think it’s going to come to a point when equality isn’t even a thought — it’s just humanity, and it’s just existing of people communicating and thriving together,” she said.

Our 2016 Oscars predictions: MAX ROOT • @MAXWELLDALLAS

BEST PICTURE: THE REVENANT

OU DAILY Give Leo the Oscar MAX ROOT

@MaxwellDallas

With Leonardo DiCaprio’s painful and raw portrayal of Hugh Glass in 2015’s “The Revenant,” he might finally win an Oscar. The word ‘finally’ is a crucial one, since DiCaprio was snubbed for his near-perfect performance in “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?” when he was just 19 years old.

Does he deserve the Oscar, though? More importantly, does someone else deserve it more?

To narrow down the choices, I have knocked both Matt Damon’s performance in “The Martian” and Bryan Cranston’s in “Trumbo” off the list.

Don’t get me wrong, both are great performances, but neither meet the mark of being Oscar worthy.

Cranston plays the part of Dalton Trumbo well, but his work ultimately comes off as an HBO TV special performance.

Damon is fun in “The Martian” but ultimately portrays a campy, somewhat indifferent astronaut.

He doesn’t display a wide range of emotions in his performance. Instead, he keeps it light. In fact, “The Martian” won best comedy at the Golden Globes.

With these actors pushed aside, we are left with Leonardo DiCaprio in “The Revenant,” Michael Fassbender in “Steve Jobs” and Eddie Redmayne in “The Danish Girl.”

My problem with the last two contenders is trickier than Damon and Cranston. I will admit that both Fassbender and Redmayne perform well in their roles, but they are ultimately forgettable for one reason above all else.

These films are stereotypical

Brutal, beautiful and gripping, “The Revenant” is the best film of the year.

No other film this year truly captured the raw emotion of loss and revenge like “The Revenant,” and that is why I believe it deserves best picture.

BEST LEADING ACTOR: LEONARDO DICAPRIO, THE REVENANT

Playing a rough frontiersman, DiCaprio captures pain and loss perfectly. This is his year for an Oscar.

BEST LEADING ACTRESS: CATE BLANCHETT, CAROL

In a movie full of bright and talented actors, Cate Blanchett still manages to shine. An amazing, subtle performance that deserves to be watched.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR: TOM HARDY, THE REVENANT

Ominous, selfish and evil, Tom Hardy displays all of the most vile traits in the film, going against the battered DiCaprio.

Email spurs Spam Fam

Students reply to spam email, create GroupMe of 200 DANA BRANHAM @danabranham

What began as a spam email became a 200-person group message in a matter of hours Wednesday morning.

An email with the subject line “Order Conf. 3360069� popped into the inboxes of several hundred students, faculty and staff at 5:42 a.m. It contained an attachment — not a real order confirmation, but a phishing scam.

By 10 a.m., students began replying to the spam email with selfies, memes and messages promoting their Instagram accounts. Plenty of others replied too, pleading for the thread of messages to cease.

Before noon, a GroupMe was born: Spam Fam 2016, which now has reached GroupMe’s limit of 200 members. The email thread started to wind down as GroupMe messages picked up with plans for organizing meetups and designing group T-shirts.

“We take something so simple, like a spam message, and run with it.�

Members of the Spam Fam, a group that formed Wednesday after a spam email was sent to more than 500 OU email addresses, pose for a group photo. The Spam Fam GroupMe has 200 members and is planning to make T-shirts.

of people replied angrily, wanting the emails to stop, Thibodeaux said she just kept laughing. “I joined the GroupMe immediately,� Thibodeaux said. “There’s only one word to describe that GroupMe, and it’s ‘lit.’ It’s really funny because I already know like 75 percent of the people on this, but it’s just turned into this huge family already.�

OU Information Technology was alerted to the issue after several students called 325-HELP and forwarded the spam email to IT, according to a statement from Courtney Kneifl, OU IT’s marketing and communication manager. The email thread saw its last message at 1:45 p.m., as IT was able to block the reply-all feature to stop the thread from continuing, Kneifl said.

Before it was shut down, the thread contained 183 emails. Matthew Martin, a public relations sophomore, said he was more confused by the emails than upset. “I had just woken up, and the first thing I did was look at my phone and see that I had 100 more email notifications than before I went to bed, so I was like ‘Oh man, I don’t know what happened but now I’m going to have to read a hundred emails,’�

Martin said. “I start scrolling through it, and I said, ‘Oh man, this started really bad, but it got really good.’�

According to an email from an OU IT employee, the thread included more than 500 email addresses — students, faculty and staff that subscribed to the OU Gender + Equality Center mailing list.

For communication

disorders sophomore Maci Zumwalt, the rise of the Spam Fam embodied the spirit of OU. “I love the humor that we all have. We take something so simple, like a spam message, and run with it,� Zumwalt said.

Thibodeaux agreed, saying that friendships like Spam Fam are just part of the OU experience. “That’s the funniest part — this is OU. This is how it is,� Thibodeaux said. “If you talk to any student and say that this happened, and they weren’t part of it, they’d say, ‘Yeah, I believe that. That’s what happens at OU.’�

Oscar bait, which are films created with a strong realization that the Academy tends to sway toward films with a certain tone and substance.

The strongest example of this is Eddie Redmayne himself, who nabbed the Best Actor award in 2015 for his performance as Stephen Hawking in “The Theory of Everything.�

While, yes, Redmayne is excellent, the movie followed Hawking as someone stricken with a horrible disease. It is a performance that begs love and sympathy, but his awards love was not entirely deserved. My pick for 2015 was Michael Keaton’s performance in “Birdman.� “The Danish Girl� has similar substance, following an underdog on her path from a man to a woman. Transgender issues and visibility were an important topic this year, and this movie highlights that. It is a role that appeals to sympathy almost by default, not because of Redmayne himself, but because of its subject.

This is certainly an important topic that should be discussed both in film and everywhere else, but Redmayne’s performance is not. That being said, I am ecstatic that we live

in an age that will actually create movies on this topic. “Steve Jobs� falls under the same category: an underdog who overcomes challenges and is exposed to emotion along the way.

This movie was made knowing fully well it could be an Oscar contender, a fact that is apparent from all the Steve Jobs movies we’ve seen since his death.

Essentially, Jobs’ passing functioned as a starting pistol, the beginning of the race to the Oscars. This is the first good one, which is why Fassbender is not worthy.

Leonardo DiCaprio not only displayed a character with true pain and suffering, he exhibited this with very little speaking.

His physical acting is topnotch, and his facial acting alone is deserving of the Oscar. With no words, DiCaprio can display the pain in his heart and the revenge in his eyes.

Above all of this, his commitment alone should be commended. For the role he ate a raw bison liver, learned two Native American languages, learned how to build a fire and learned to fire a musket, all while in freezing conditions.

Leonardo DiCaprio deserves the Oscar for his work in “The Revenant� more than any other actor does in his category. He deserved it many times before 2016, but this is his year.

Camille Pissarro’s “Bergère rentrant des moutons” hangs in the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art Oct. 28, 2015. OU agreed fully transfer the rights of the painting to the Meyer family Feb. 22.

OU returns stolen painting Artwork taken

by Nazis finds its previous family ANDREW CLARK @Clarky_Tweets

OU has agreed to fully transfer the rights of a Nazi-stolen painting on display in the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art to the family that s ought to re-obtain its ownership.

OU President David Boren said in a statement May 14, 2015, that the full history of “La Bergère rentrant des moutons” was unknown and defended Aaron and Clara Weitzenhoffer’s purchase of the painting in 1956.

Now, according to Pierre Ciric, the Meyer family’s attorney, the university

has acknowledged its previous ow nership of the painting.

C i r i c s a i d t h e p a i n ting w ill be transpor ted to a museum institution in France sometime this summer, where it will be displayed publicly for five years. After that five-year period, the painting will rotate between a museum in France and the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art, he said.

that OU is pleased that a “constructive agreement” has been reached.

How ever, he was met with criticism following the news of the settlement. At a Feb. 23 press conference in Oklahoma City, former state representative Mike Reynolds said OU’s fight to keep the stolen artwork was Boren’s fault. He also called for an investigation into the painting and to find out how much Boren knew about the situation.

“I think this State representative Paul is a terrible Wesselhoft R-Moore and embarrassment on OU student Eric Sundby, the president of the their part.”

Holocaust Remembrance PAUL WESSELHOFT and Restitution Society at STATE REPRESENTATIVE OU, joined Reynolds at the press conference.

He also said no money We s s e l h o f t s a i d t h e w a s e x c h a n g e d i n t h e painting had previously settlement. been valued at $650,000, Boren said in a statement though he said he thinks

the painting has increased in value because of its increased notoriety.

Sundby said there are concerns about the ownership rights of other paintings at OU. He said he and his foundation will continue their activism for the other pieces.

Wesselhoft said he hopes the university will change i t s st a n c e o n t h e o t h e r paintings under suspicion.

“I think this is a terrible embarrassment on their part,” he said.

Blue emergency phones still used The stations extra light, adding feeling of security TANNER OSBORNE @tannerosbear

The blue emergency phones on campus are still being used in today’s modern era of cell phones, SafeWalk and Uber rides, even if some students never think about them.

O U P D Maj o r B r u c e Chan, public information officer, said the police department still receives multiple calls and alerts from the phones each day.

Michael Zuidema, marketing operations manager for Code Blue Corporation, and producer of the blue phones, said the company does not keep exact numbers on the usage of the phones on OU’s campus.

“It really depends on what they use the phones for,” Zuidema said.

Zuidema said if the phones are used primarily for dire situations, then the usage is much lower.

However, if the phones are used more generally, for directions or just as a precaution when people feel uneasy, the usage is much higher.

Zuidema said his records showed OU installed its first emergency blue phone in 1996, and the university has since

expanded its number.

Zuidema said colleges are the corporation’s number one customer, but other places like hospitals, airports and large businesses with large parking lots also create a demand for the emergency phones.

Marketing sophomore Anna Marquez said she has never used the emergency phones, but she would if she needed to.

“Sometimes my tests are really late at night, and I’ll look around to see if one is near me,” Marquez said.

Marquez said she thinks the phones are still necessary, but fewer people use them because of options like SafeWalk and the convenience of cell phones.

Health and exercise science freshman Mackenzie Forman said she is not sure they are necessary anymore in today’s modern era.

Health and exercise scie n c e f re s h m a n K i r s t i n Chapman said she thinks m o s t p e o p l e a re s ma r t enough to walk in groups for safety, especially late at night.

However, Chapman said she still thinks the phones are necessary to have on campus.

Chan said a lot of the calls are from students who either feel uncomfortable or are just lost and need directions.

Criminology freshman Chase Brooks said it is nice to know they are there and to see them around but never really thinks about using

them.

Petroleum engineering freshman Mario Sinacola said the phones are great and can still be beneficial.

“They’re nice to have at nighttime when they light up the area,” Sinacola said.

Zuidema said he certainly appreciates the benefits of what he calls today’s “mobile safety apps,” and he recognizes that most people have cell phones on them to use for emergencies.

“But cell phones can be unreliable,” Zuidema said.

Zuidema said phones can be dropped or broken, or cell phone towers can be overloaded, making reception during an emergency impossible.

According to Zuidema, the blue lights provide a reliable, durable and plainly visible layer of safety to campuses like OU. “The lights add a deterrent, and a lot of the phones can be equipped with cameras,” Zuidema said.

Zuidema said the phones can provide a centralized form of communication during times of crisis, and when students or citizens use the phones, they can know they are going to get through to someone.

“It’s just another layer to the safety onion,” Zuidema said.

Interns have the chance to work in many different departments such as the Office of Cabinet Affairs, the Office of Political Strategy and Outreach, the Office of the First Lady and the Presidential Personnel Office, according to the release.

The programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to make the White House accessible to those interested in leadership positions and who have a passion for public service, according to the release.

Gathered around in the Oklahoma Memorial Union, members of the community service fraternity Alpha Phi Omega decorate cookies with their Miracle Child, Jalesa Asimba on Feb. 12. Miracle Children like Jalesa receive care from The Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital and give faces to Soonerthonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cause.

Child gives event purpose Service fraternity, 5-year-old Miracle Child form close tie MARY SMITH

@marysmitty21

Shy among strangers but revealing a bubbly presence around those who know her, pink-loving 5-year-old Jalesa Asimba doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t immediately show signs of her struggles, even though her whole life has been just that: a struggle.

Born at 27 weeks, weighing one pound and eight ounces, Jalesa spent 94 days in the hospital before she could go home, said LaCosta Herrion, Jalesaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother.

Jalesaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premature birth has delayed her growth physically and mentally and has resulted in chronic lung disease and sensory processing disorder, Herrion said. For the first two years of her life, Jalesa couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t breathe without an oxygen tank, which would fail at times, leaving her unable to breathe on her own.

Jalesaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sensory disorder makes her sensitive to sound, causes painful ear infections and also makes her sensitive to textures, Herrion said. Jalesa hates the feel of certain materials, such

as socks, and has struggled with swallowing food her whole life because she will choke if she eats something of the wrong texture.

After undergoing two rounds of physical therapy, two rounds of speech therapy and one round of occupational therapy, Jalesa has seen improvement in the past few years, Herrion said.

Jalesa is a Miracle Child who w ill par ticipate in CACâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Soonerthon. Miracle Children are paired with different campus organizations for the 12-hour dance marathon, which takes place March 5.

This will be Jalesaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fifth year as a Miracle Child and her fourth year with the co-ed community service fraternity Alpha Phi Omega, Herrion said.

Jalesa said she really loves the dance marathon and has felt at home with the members of the fraternity.

At 2 years old Jalesa could not talk and could barely walk, but after starting the different therapies, Jalesaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s delays affect her less and less as time goes by. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At first it was very stressful and overwhelming,â&#x20AC;? Herrion said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[But] as sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gotten older itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gotten better.â&#x20AC;?

A mother of four, Herrion knows how difficult it has been for her older children

to see her give breaths of lifeto Jalesa or to witness their sister choking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone feels helpless because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not something youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re used to (at first), so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been an adjustment,â&#x20AC;?

Herrion said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(It) seems like everything we do has to be catered to her.â&#x20AC;?

Now, Jalesa is in kindergarten, and things seem to be looking up for the 5 year old. Jalesa has been acing her spelling tests and has even started to read, Herrion said.

The care Jalesa has received has been at the OU Medical Center, Integris Jim Thorpe Rehabilitation or at The Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital at OU Medical Center, Herrion said. Because of their many, sometimes everyday, visits to OU for appointments, they soon became involved with the Miracle Children program and Soonerthon, she said.

They have been especially close with members who have graduated but still keep in touch, Herrion said. She loved how the members did their best to include all of her children and connect with the older ones as well as Jalesa, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been so much like a family,â&#x20AC;? Herrion said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve kept in touch.â&#x20AC;?

Ne w m e m b e r s o f t h e

service fraternity have fallen in love with Jalesa in the short time theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve known her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just being around her and how happy she is all the time, it really brightens up the room,â&#x20AC;? pre-nursing junior Eric Lewis said.

The fraternityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s members are looking forward to getting to know Jalesa more and making sure she has a great time at Soonerthon, said Megan Daniel, a health and exercise science junior. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It means a lot more to me when we know who weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re raising money for and standing all day for,â&#x20AC;?

Daniel said.

What Jalesa looks forward to the most is dancing to the music of her favorite singer, Justin Bieber, she said.

While the Soonerthon dance is a fun event, it means so much more than just a good time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Seeing what someone goes) through and how happy they can (still) be with everything ... really puts it into perspective how easy standing for 12 hours can be,â&#x20AC;? Lewis said.

Tough test awaits in Austin

TRENT CRABTREE @TrentCrabtree

Oklahoma is starting to build back some momentum after going through its first rough stretch of the season, but now the Sooners face a significant challenge in Austin, Texas on Saturday. The Longhorns have been one of the surprises of the Big 12 this year under firstyear coach Shaka Smart, and they are making waves with the defensive style that Smart brings to the table. This chaotic brand of defense gave the Sooners issues in Norman, so they will have to do a better job of picking their spots if they want to pull out the victory on the road. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how Oklahoma matches up with the Longhorns: Backcourt Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of speed, talent and experience in these matchups. The one to really watch here, though, is Texasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Isaiah Taylor. In the first game, Taylor kept OU off balance for a majority of the night with his quick first step and ability to create shots at the rim. For OU guard Isaiah Cousins, the matchup will be one of his biggest defensive tests of the season. It will also be interesting to watch the kind of battle Buddy Hield and Javan Felix get into.

Felix can really shoot the basketball from deep, so it will be important for Hield to respond.

Advantage: Oklahoma Frontcourt Look for a really physical brand of basketball in the paint Saturday. Texas presents a formidable combo in Connor Lammert and Prince Ibeh. Lammert is a

classic stretch-four who is athletic for his size and can knock down three-pointers if left open, while Ibeh simply bullies players in the paint with his immense size. The key for the Sooners will be forward Khadeem Lattin, who continues to blossom as a versatile inside presence.

Lattin will need to be active in the paint and on the perimeter.

Advantage: Texas

SPENSER DAVIS @Davis_Spenser

Oklahoma hired Kansas assistant Calvin Thibodeaux to be its defensive line coach on Wednesday. Thibodeaux, a former Sooner defensive end, was at Kansas for one year before making the jump to Norman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited to have Calvin back in our program,â&#x20AC;? Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said in a press release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a long-time Sooner and was an excellent player for us. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gained great defensive line experience coming up through the coaching ranks and was sought after by other

Senior guard Isaiah Cousins drives to the basket Feb. 8 against Texas at the Lloyd Noble Center.

The Sooners play the Longhorns for the second time at 1 p.m. Saturday in Austin, Texas.

BEDLAM IN BRIEF

â&#x20AC;˘ Key stat: 26 Jordan Woodard, Buddy Hield and Isaiah Cousins combined for just 26 points.

Depth is already a big enough problem for the Sooners, so they will undoubtedly need better production from these three as they get closer to the postseason.

Recapping Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game vs. Oklahoma State

Despite getting a scare early, No. 3 Oklahoma pulled away after halftime to defeat Oklahoma State 71-49 Wednesday night in Norman.

It was OUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seventh straight Bedlam victory.

Th i b o d e au x re p l a c e s Diron Reynolds, who spent one year in Nor man as Oklahomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defensive line coach before accepting the same position at Stanford. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dream come true,â&#x20AC;?

Thibodeaux said in a press release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To have this opportunity is special. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home. I know the culture. I know what the expectations are.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truly a blessing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I got into coaching back in 2008, it was always one of my goals to come back home. For it to happen is just remarkable.â&#x20AC;?

Coaching This game provides arguably the most intriguing coaching matchup in the Big 12. Lon Krugerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience and ability to rebuild programs has made him a mainstay in college basketball, but Smart is starting to build a legacy of his own.

Both coaches run a very organic style of basketball that relies on spacing and scoring on fast-break oppor tunities. Even more c o m p e l l i n g , b o t h h av e made it to the Final Four in their careers. In this kind of game, though, Krugerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience gives him the edge.

“The public polls indicate that Trump will win the Republican candidate in Oklahoma and that the Democratic primary will be close, but a recent poll said that Hillary (Clinton) would win Oklahoma.

When looking at the polls, I think it’s important considering whether these people are looking at the policies of the candidates or not.

Can’t say who will win because politics are unpredictable. Things could change election day.

The polls track that Trump will win and that it’ll be a close call between Bernie and Hillary.

The polls suggest that Trump will win the GOP, but if Bernie Sanders wins here, then it’ll be a talking point for his campaign. If Hillary wins here, then that shows that she has a very robust campaign and will be a good candidate.”
