Moonlight, the gay drama about three chapters in a young gay black man’s life, has been awarded Best Picture by the National Society of Film Critics, and Best Director for Barry Jenkins.

Deadline reports:

Surprising no one, Moonlight also nabbed a Supporting Actor win for Mahershala Ali, widely considered since the film’s debut to be the front runner in the category at the Academy Awards. Ali faced strong competition, with Jeff Bridges (Hell or High Water) and Michael Shannon (Nocturnal Animals) coming in as runners up. And finally, Moonlight has won for Best Cinematography, beating out Silence and, yep, La La Land.

The full winner’s list at Deadline.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson put a toilet on the squat rack.

Yup, there’s a toilet in the squat rack. We got after it hardcore this week at my good bud @gunnarfitness’ spot in LA. Intense chest, tri’s and neck training. Gunnar keeps a toilet (non-functioning;) in the rack which a whole other level of psychological bad assery. My old man used to kick my ass so hard in the gym when I was a kid he’d say, “if you’re gonna throw up go out side.. and if you’re gonna cry then go home to your mother.” If only we had this brilliant toilet in the gym idea when I was a kid I’d would’ve never had to go outside.? ? #GrindDNA #HardestWorkersInTheRoom #AndNoOneGoesHomeToMama

Rachel Maddow: Donald Trump’s ‘Blatant Lies’ About Russian Report ‘Put a Shiver Down My Spine’ – WATCH

As only she can do (and I’d recommend you watch both segments if you want a quick lesson), Rachel Maddow explained the backstory of the Russian hacking — Vladimir Putin’s rage at Hillary Clinton for calling out the “neither free nor fair” Russian election in 2011 that handed him the presidency.

“This is his payback for that.”

And the report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (you can read that too – it’s 5 pages) released yesterday validates that explanation.

Watch:

“But when this thing came out publicly today,” Maddow added in her next segment, “there was one additional thing that this report taught us. It’s not about Russia. It’s not about Hillary Clinton. It’s not even about our last election. But it’s really important, and it’s about our new president.”

Continued Maddow:

“What we learned today…is that our new president will flat out lie to us. To our faces. And even put it in writing. Even when we can check for ourselves and see for ourselves that he is blatantly lying about a really big thing. He apparently will just bracingly lie to us even about really important national security stuff. And we learned that today if we didn’t believe it before.”

What Donald Trump said about the report was, “There was absolutely no effect on the outcome of the election.”

Maddow goes on:

“He put out a written statement about what he learned in the briefing. And he blatantly, and overtly, bluntly, simply lied about what is in this report. Right before this report got publicly released so we could check ourselves and see that he was lying. I have to say I don’t get weirded out by a lot of stuff in the news but this puts a shiver down my spine.”
