Here are some photos of Tina Fey at last night’s NYC premiere of Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, the film where she plays a Chicago reporter who goes to Afghanistan to be a war reporter. Tina is shilling hard for this film, and I hope it does well for her, even if the reviews aren’t that great. Tina did Howard Stern’s radio show yesterday and they ended up talking a lot about the Oscars. It seems that Tina is something of a DiCaprio Apologist. Who knew? Some highlights:
On Chris Rock’s opening monologue: “This is what you ordered–you wanted this. I thought his monologue was fantastic.”
On attending the Oscars: “I would say being at the Oscars, and I don’t know if you guys feel this way when you go out there, but I am so glad I live here. Because half ways through I was like, ‘This is some real Hollywood bulls—t!’ Everyone is telling me what to do and it was like, people are yelling at me about rape and telling me about corporate greed, but really it’s climate change. I was like, ‘Guys, pick a lane. Too much coming at me. Also, you are all rich, why are you yelling at me about corporate greed? You’re all so rich!’”
On Leo DiCaprio’s speech: “I always am psyched when someone’s articulate about those things, because let’s face it, actors are very stupid. But he’s so smart and his speech was so cogent.”
Whether she thinks Leo’s lifestyle is misogynistic: ” It doesn’t affect the green footprint, no matter how many women you f—k. Is it misogynistic to sleep with a bunch of women who want to sleep with you? I don’t think it’s misogynistic, no. I think everybody there is up for it, but also he’s still cute… [but it won’t be] cute when he’s 50 and they’re still 18.”
On Caitlyn Jenner: “The best sighting I had [at the Oscars] was Caitlyn Jenner. I was trying so hard to have a moment with her, and I was trying to make eye contact … But she was not having me. Not on purpose [though].”
I think she’s sort of right about Leo. I mean, as long as everyone is a consenting adult, why not? But we can still judge him and The Wolf Pack. We can still think that they’re cheeseball frat boys who need to grow up. And I disagree with her about Rock’s opening monologue.
Here are some photos of Margot Robbie at the same premiere. She has a supporting part in the film, and apparently Margot and Tina got along really well, which says a lot about Margot, frankly. I want to like Margot and I think this is her year, especially with The Suicide Squad coming out. Margot’s look here is Valentino and she just looks… absolutely gorgeous. Her body is like BAM and #goals.

Yunnw what affects the green footprint ? Private jets that Leo uses while on the same breath talking about global warming.
And environmentalists actually cringed at his speech as did people from Alberta (such as myself) . The warm weather he was referring to that pushed them to search for snow was due to a chinook. Not a good example Leo! It made him sound uneducated about the environment and misinformed. I’m not disagreeing with the rest of it. Climate change is scary and more needs to be done! I can see that our weather here is changing. So I can get behind that message but his example was totally off.http://www.cbc.ca/beta/news/canada/calgary/leonardo-dicaprio-climate-change-oscar-speech-alberta-reaction-1.3469010
I can’t believe I am about to defend Leo. But. He was making a speech at the ENTERTAINMENT event not a conference on global warming. Giving a speech in those two enviroments is a completely different thing. It has to be short, to the point and have an emotional message. If you want to be accurate you are risking turning boring and most of people in the room won’t understand. Everyone need to chill the f**** out
Exactly, Tina Fey was right about one thing -“actors are very stupid”.
Exactly and there is absolutely nothing wrong with pointing out hypocrisy and ignorance of privileged millionaires.

Really, are people still beating that dead horse. I commented on this the other day but have no problem stating it again.
He went green with his houses? He purchased hybrid cars? He produced some documentaries about the climate? He earned the Clinton Global Citizen Award? He marched with Ed Norton and Mark Ruffalo in New York City’s People’s Climate March? The United Nations named DiCaprio a UN Peace Messenger, because he was helping to promote global action on climate change? He pledged 7 million to help protect the ocean in 2014? In 2015 he announced plans to build an eco-friendly resort? He also become a partner in the Wildlife Funds to protect Tigers in Napal? Oh and there’s The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation that he started back in 1998 that raises money for the environment.
The man never said he doesn’t participate in anything that could possibly harm the environment but he sure is doing a lot more then you, me and most people on this site to help protect it. You don’t think there are other environmentalist that takes planes to get to their destinations. Why aren’t you calling them out?
Even David Suzuki has been called out before. It’s not unusual for people to question credibility. I am not saying that his message is not a great and much needed message. Nor do I disregard his commendable actions so far. I simply wish he was more informed on the issues he cares so much about. Unfortunately, he loses respect and credibility by making uneducated public statements on the environment. How could he not have educated himself about what was going on with the weather that he was so influenced by?
Cornyblue is not calling others out because this thread is about Tina’s opinion of Leo. Some seem to think that environmentalism works like the old indulgence system of the Catholic church. The volume of his environmental work does not buy him an indulgence for using private jets in lieu of readily available commercial flights. Leo by definition is a hippocrite.
And he still uses private jets?? If renowned doctors who literally need to fly from one city to the next performing life saving surgeries can take commercial flights, so can Leo ?? Like he is at the end of the day just an actor?? Nothing he does is even remotely important??
Also I absolutely do my bit please do not speak for me. I obviously do not have resources to like go and tal to the pope but I absolutely do everything I can to reduce my carbon footprint and you should do your bit too and so should everyone else.
Yep after all they are all just actors. Nothing they do is important like you said, not even donating to charities right?
I don’t think Leo’s a bad person. People go aroud saying he picks his blonde models like meat, but Leo wouldn’t be banging them if they didn’t want to.
I just think it’s a pathetic a man in his 40s still acts like a 21 year old. Yeah he doesn’t have kids and isn’t trying to convince us he’s something other than that. So? He still looks pathetic. I’m still rolling my eyes. If people can go ham at Madonna for strutting around in lingerie and leather gear while pushing 60, we can definitely give Leo the same treatment.
Yep. This ^^^^^^^
As far as Leo having a GREEN FOOT PRINT? Nope, nope, and nope. That man stamps a MASSIVE carbon footprint every time he makes a move.
In all fairness and not to be trolling, really the biggest footprint you can create is by having children. If you factor in what one born-wealthy American will consume in their long lifetime and the amount of carbon they will produce, then I’d say if he stays childless his lifestyle will be offset by not having kids. Can’t stand the guy but maybe that’s his offset, lol.
She’s right about Hollywood complaining about corporate greed: pot meet kettle.
Tina’s statement about Leo being cute really surprises me given how she has publically teased George Clooney about his much younger partners. I like TF but disagree with her on this one. Leo’s 41 years old and his thing for women who are 15 years or more younger is just not cute in my book.
Tina and Amy mocked Leo just as hard at the GGs, by asking the audience to give him a welcome just as warm and inviting as a supermodel’s v*g. That joke didn’t drive him to marry like Clooney’s joke did to Clooney.
He actually took that GG’s joke VERY well. I was surprised. I think he had some warning beforehand.
I think part of the Leo hate is that people just don’t like being told what to do. If you had to be George Monbiot (who lives an austere beyond austere life, I believe, for his green convictions) just to have a greenish opinion, it’s going to be hard. I think Leo should be called out for his hypocrisy, but not this much. The whole pic has to be taken into account, and the fact he is has done literally 100 times (and probably more) than most of us will ever, ever hope to do for the environment.
And his love life isn’t misogynist but reflects immaturity and unsophistication when it comes to relationships. So what? He’s not exactly Leanne Rimes who’s trying to sell her entire life as a product. Leo has rarely talked about his private life and works very hard in his acting career, so I’ll give him a pass on this one. Some actors, like George Clooney post-Amal, make the mistake of popping out the belly button and sharing their private life with the whole world. As George is finding out, it’s hard to pop it back in once it’s out. Leo has never made it a product so as far as I’m concerned, it’s not my business.
Well given Tina’s intelligence and sly sense of humor, you could interpret the word ‘cute’ for a 41 year old man as a subtle put down. I doubt she’d call a 41 year old woman cute for that very reason. I think it was an intentional use of the word to identify him as a boy and less a mature functioning adult.
I don’t agree with Tina about Leo, and am surprised she said what she did. It’s okay for him to treat women the way he does because he’s “cute?” Didn’t she criticize Taylor Swift for dating guys and writing songs about them?
She joked about Leo and supermodels at the Golden Globes just like she joked about Taylor and her songs about boyfriends the year before. I think she’s treated them pretty much the same.
I never thought one way or the other about Tina. But I remember reading C/B after the Golden Globes and posters on this site didn’t find the joke Gervais made about Kaitlin Jenner funny. When other posters explained that he was making fun of women drivers and not Kaitlin being a transgender some posters were even more disgusted. They were calling Gervais joke sexist for saying that women can’t drive. Well Tina almost makes that same exact joke in her new movie when the lady backs into a car. She says something like well she isn’t doing much for women drivers. Will Tina get any backlash for using the same jokey lines Gervais used or does she get a pass because she is a woman.
Saw the trailer for that movie and when that line was said, I cringed so hard. It’s a lame ass reductive, joke.
Saw trailer too. I was so surprised and disappointed that she used that same old joke that wasn’t funny the first time (many eons ago) it was told.
I won’t be seeing the movie.
It’s based on a true story – maybe happened in real life?
What she says in the trailer is “That sucks for women”, the context being that women were not allowed to drive in Afghanistan for many years, and when she’s reporting on the first one in the city to do so, things go badly.
Gervais’ “ha ha women are bad drivers” type of joke is more irritating IMO, and especially considering he was joking about a real accident where someone died.
What exactly does he do that could qualify as “misogynistic”? Yes, he has a type but all of the women he’s been with have been legal, consenting adults. He hasn’t slept with or been in a relationship with anyone who didn’t want that too so….?
I think it is the “type” thing people are bothered by more than the age difference. It seems to always be younger and “model” every time. So people find it superficial and immature of him..would be my guess. If his type wasn’t so obvious people would probably respect him more.
Margot Robbie is unbelievably beautiful
He (like a lot of men, and people in general) is probably capable of and most likely has been sexist in other ways, (The pessimistic side of me says that everybody will say or do something misogynistic/ignorant on some level in their lifetime), but I don’t think his casual sex or hooking up with younger consenting adult women is misogyny, or that any woman who chooses to hook up with him should be classified as “harmed” or “victimized” or “dehumanized” automatically just because she’s between the ages of 18-24 instead of 30 or 40. I do suspect that he’s immature though.
He is a forty year old frat boy
Is she sure Caitlyn Jenner was not having it not on purpose? She is somewhat a hardcore republican. Also, I love Tina but was she attacked by the dogs on the way to the premiere? That’s the only acceptable explanation for that dress
Very large moths live in her closet. And yes, it high time Leo stopped partying and got stuck into all the interesting things that 40 something’s are meant to do….gardening; DIY; cooking; maybe a bit of crochet? I just hope he has the slippers and bath robe ready to take up his new role.
Two words: Don’s Plum. The dialogue was mostly improvised. Leo and Spidey sued to prevent its release because it showcases their entitlement and misogyny. And it ain’t pretty.
