Not possible if you believe the man on stage was in blackface.

Yet it remarkably fit IM which makes it seem more made up.

Also of interest is no notes, furthering the theory that Kontrol went off of info provided by a teammate (maybe a clue copping one...)

Re-read and tell me what you think of that write-up.

You're very much on the RT list.

This is very interesting:

didn't come up on the RT list. Is there a mafia power which distracts everyone else while they go about their business?

Okay this might get me killed but hopefully it'll help out the town:

I'm 99% sure I know the themes here based on #oscarssowhite:
Town - 2016 Oscar nominees
Neutral - Black Actors
Mafia - Multiple nominees who haven't won

I'm guessing the mafia don is Leo, and with him is at least.... Robert Downey Jr. who I believe was the man in blackface last night.

There are reasons why I'm CONFIDENT I didn't target Destructo last night that should be pretty evident now.

Remarkably? No.

Go and do yourself a favor and read the plot on this one.

Loosely work? Sure. Remarkably work? I wouldn't go there necessarily with "Theeb".

I would go there on "The Danish Girl", that would be remarkable.

Grizz? Brainiac? You guys have anything to offer?

Or RDJ for his role in Tropic Thunder.

I'm thinking we were rerouted, but it wasn't onto Destructo.

Hmm.

I don't believe that anyone NOT nominated this year would be in this game.

Could the "blackface" be a red herring? Has anyone this year that was nominated ever assumed a role that was blatantly another race? Like Jake Gyllenhaal in "Prince of Persia"?

What about Christian Bale? Former nominee? Did Ridley Scott's "Moses" epic?

Yeah. I'll agree it's not the best fit (I didn't Wiki, having seen the film, so if there's something specific you want me to see in the Wiki let me know). However, I could see the word used by some but maybe I'm used to Magnito's style of clues which would make even the Riddler go "Stretching it!".

Did you miss Idris Elba? He wasn't nominated this year. Who would want to "take down" the Oscars this year? People who have never won. Leo is their leader (with a possible town cloak) because he was nominated this year.

Right.

But he was in a film a lot of folks thought should've have been acknowledged and it makes sense that person would be here.

Robert Downey Jr. wasn't in any films of that prestige this year. It's why I thought ERS' claim was really weak as well.

You could be right. I just don't want to get sidetracked by the tasteless blackface on the stage. I also don't think Chris Rock is here except in flavor text. But that's just me.

I used the term "blackface" but it was less due to "racial transformation" and more due to:

1) Host making the Malcolm X remark.
2) The person then starting to make a quip akin to the crows in "Dumbo" or similar roles:
3) The censors stepping in to stop the rest of the remark and the crowd focusing with anger and disgust at the man.

Doesn't actually mean he was up there in full regalia pulling a Ted Danson.

RR, are you saying your role is the one that was rodded? Doesn't mean you couldn't be forced to target yourself. However I don't think you targeted DB. I think you targeted whomever we were all forced to targeted except for the three people I listed.

That would mean one of those three is the killer and while it's likely ERS, I would venture one of the other two helped ERS make the kill and avoid the LR.

I think ERS claimed Hardy because he's really Leo. It's a decent claim, as Leo was floated early as being a threat (either SK or Don), and they were both in Revenant so clue copping would be similar.
