Interview: Matt, the "75 Supporting Actresses" Genius, Tells All!

16 April 2012 8:16 AM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »

I'm calling it right now: The "75 Best Supporting Actresses" YouTube video, where a whippersnapper named Matt imitates all 75 winners of the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in a few minutes, is and will be the best video of 2012 (excepting those wonderful Verbal Vogueing and Weeklings clips, of course). It's a hilarious exhibition of talent, creativity and raw gay nerve. And it validates everyone's obsession with award shows too. Now every Best Supporting Actress from Hattie McDaniel to Jennifer Connelly is immortalized in one flavorful, quirky mix. It's not just entertaining; it's important. Let's bow down.

I caught up with the creator himself, an enigmatic YouTube star who goes by the Twitter handle @Diariesofdoom and prefers to go by just his first name, to talk about his marvelous video. We also spoke about the best Oscar moments, the worst Oscar winners, and the awardees who helped spread his gem on YouTube. »

Ok, Let's Talk About the Amazing "75 Best Supporting Actresses" Reenactment Video

11 April 2012 10:02 AM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »

I've waited a few days to collect my thoughts and weigh in on the most important YouTube video since Corgis Enjoy A Treadmill, so here goes: A fast-yapping vlogger who goes by the name The Doomsday Diaries (and the Twitter handle @Diariesofdoom) zeroed in on The Academy Awards' Best Supporting Actress category -- the greatest Oscar category, by the way -- and toasted it by reenacting scenes/moments from all 75 winning performances since 1936.

Let me be clear: This is a staggering feat. This guy has democratized everyone from Eva Marie Saint and Lila Kedrova to Gale Sondergaard and Helen Hayes in the clippiest, hippest way possible. It's explosive. It's gigantic. It's a pink diamond. And so much of it is amazingly good. It's like a version of "The Snatch Game"from RuPaul's Drag Race, except with dignified actresses up for satire and not, say, Snooki.

I thought we'd have a little debate. »

One Man, 75 Best Supporting Actresses

6 April 2012 5:35 PM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »

This guy deserves his own Oscar for Best Supporting Actress (or some sort of equivalent thereof) after putting on a show like this.

Watch as one man time-warps through Oscar history as he channels all 75 winners of the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, from Gale Sondergaard in "Anthony Adverse" (1936) through Octavia Spencer in "The Help" (2011), in just under five minutes.

His (extremely) multi-faceted performance ranges from spot-on imitations (Claire Trevor in "Key Largo") to over-the-top parodies (Ruth Gordon in "Rosemary's Baby") to a mixture of both (Melissa Leo in "The Fighter"). And, like the Oscars themselves, there are a few that are in (rather hilarious) poor taste (especially his Patty Duke in "The Miracle Worker").

We're also rather fond of his take on Kim Basinger in "L.A. Confidential," just because … well, he's right.

Enjoy this one-of-a-kind Oscar summary below, and thanks to Movieline for the find.

Watch: Channeling 75 Best Supporting Actress Winners In Just Five Minutes

6 April 2012 2:16 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Oscar season may be a fading memory at this point, but that doesn't stop us from loving this clip!

A video showing YouTube user The Doomsday Diaries paying tribute all of the Academy's 75 Best Supporting Actress winners in the span of five minutes has gone viral in the gay blogosphere.

"Some of you may know that Best Supporting Actress is my favorite category," he quips. "If I could, I would make love to every single one of those women!"

And all of them are there -- from Gale Sondergaard, who won in 1936 for "Anthony Adverse," right up through Melissa Leo, who nabbed the award in 2011 for "The Fighter" (the clip was made before Octavia Spencer won this year for her turn in "The Help"). The segments which pay tribute to the musical winners (including Rita Moreno in "West Side Story" and Catherine Zeta-Jones in "Chicago") are by far the most humorous, »
