REDDIT USERS CONSOLE ‘FRUSTRATED’ MOM WHO LEAVES BABIES CRYING ALONE WHILE SHE GETS ‘FRESH AIR’

A thread on Reddit, the social media site, is blowing up with over 10,000 reactions and over 3,000 comments related to a mom in a military family — and her request that a younger sister help her out when she was caught in a bind due to a sudden work schedule change.

The young mom described herself as 24 years old and said she’s living in “her own apartment.”

She wrote that her “fiancé is deployed, and I have a one-year-old son.”

The woman, who did not share her location, said a younger sister of hers, who is 18, lives with her and the baby — “and pays no rent.”

The younger sister, the woman added, “goes to the nearby college. She has no job and I financially support her, since she is in school. Our parents live three hours away, so it was a better fit.”

The young mom went on, “I work five days a week, and my son is in day care. I got called in on a Saturday (I’m off weekends and the day care is closed weekends), and I pleaded with my sister to watch my son.”

But the sister, the woman wrote, “refused.”

The young mother added that her sister said “it was her weekend off from school, and she had a lot of studying to do.”

“I told her I really needed her to do this for me. I never ask her. She told me I should just find a sitter online.”

The older sister and mom of the one-year-old, however, “told her I really needed her to do this for me. I never ask her. She told me I should just find a sitter online.”

But the older sister continued to ask for help.

She told her sister, “You need to watch him. I take care of you, and you can do this one thing for me — or you can go back and live with our parents,” she relayed on Reddit to the larger community.

The younger sister did ultimately agree to watch the baby, the Redditor explained — “and I went to work.” However, all was not well. (iStock)

The younger sister did not take this well.

“She got really upset and said I’m throwing what I do for her in her face — and how she’s an adult and my son wasn’t her kid,” the woman on Reddit wrote.

However, the younger sister did ultimately agree to watch the baby, the Redditor explained — “and I went to work.”

Then, she shared, “while I was on break, I checked my phone and had numerous text from my parents.”

The texts from her parents said that she was “abusing” her “power” over her sister — “and that my son wasn’t her responsibility.”

“While I was on break, I checked my phone and had numerous text from my parents.”

The Redditor explained further, “I never, ever ask my sister for help with the baby. She lives with me, so she’s able to go to the school she wanted to go to,” she added.

One of the many commenters who weighed in on this issue wrote, “I can understand not helping out the majority of the time. The baby is not her kid, and she has her own responsibilities.”

However, this person added, the younger sister “is living there for free, her sister supports her financially, and said sister was in a pinch. It doesn’t sound like an everyday occurrence, so this would have been the absolute minimum to show that she appreciates the good thing she has going on.”

“I can understand not helping out the majority of the time,” wrote one person about the younger sister’s dilemma related to her older sister’s child (not pictured). “The baby is not her kid, and she has her own responsibilities.” (iStock)

This individual added, “I just don’t understand why [the original poster] is supporting her sister financially? That’d be the parents’ job, not her sister’s, who is barely six years her senior [and] pretty much still starting her own life with a baby and a fiancé who is deployed.

This person went on, “Reimbursing her costs should be the bare minimum on the parents’ part.”

That comment on its own received nearly 4,000 “upvotes.”

Wrote another person, who was clearly exasperated with the younger sister’s resistance, “And here I worked 35 hours a week to pay for my college at 18 years old.”

Said still another person, “I’m honestly more annoyed with the parents. She [meaning the younger sister] is still young and — well, behaves like a child.”

“I’m honestly more annoyed with the parents.”

Fox News Digital reached out to a clinical psychologist in New York to share professional insight on the sisters’ standoff.

Dr. Jayme Albin, PhD, a clinical psychologist in New York City, noted, “It seems that the parents are not holding their kids’ feet to the fire in the same way. There seems to be some sanctimonious actions on their part by asking one daughter to take responsibility for family members — but not teaching the younger one the same values.”

Added Dr. Albin, “At the same time, I don’t think it’s fair for the older sister to demand that her sister take care of her child at a moment’s notice when they both have important responsibilities to pay attention to — yet, that being said, the two sisters need to work out some boundaries.”

One particular remark about the sisters’ standoff described on Reddit garnered over 4,000 reactions: “Well, she is an adult, and the boundaries need to be reset so they can be respected.” (iStock)

She said further to Fox News Digital, “Perhaps that involves the younger sister committing to a few hours of child care or chipping in on household chores or the rent. And perhaps the parents can chip in to help create some equilibrium.”

Plenty of commenters on Reddit continued to share their takes on the drama.

This comment went on, “For a one-time favor, she [the younger sister] should have volunteered, in my personal opinion. Family, after all.”

“I would be sending her back home and then see how she likes living without the ‘abuse of power.'”

This person added, addressing the original poster, “But she said it herself: She is an adult, and your child is not her ‘responsibility.’ [This] means you need to remind her that she isn’t YOUR responsibility, either. So, time for her to pay you rent. Or for your parents to take ‘responsibility’ for their child and pay her rent, or she gets a 30-day notice.”

Added this individual, “Up until now you have treated her as family — and she isn’t returning the favor.”

Said someone else, “Exactly. She can either be family, [who help] each other in tough situations — or she can be a roommate/tenant.”

Someone else chimed in with, “I would be sending her back home and then see how she likes living without the ‘abuse of power.'”

Ransomware attack on US Marshals Service affects 'law enforcement sensitive information'

February 28, 2023 Published by CNN

CNN
—

A ransomware attack on the US Marshals Service has affected a computer system containing “law enforcement sensitive information,” including personal information belonging to targets of investigations, a US Marshals Service spokesperson said Monday evening.

“The affected system contains law enforcement sensitive information, including returns from legal process, administrative information, and personally identifiable information pertaining to subjects of USMS investigations, third parties, and certain USMS employees,” spokesperson Drew Wade said in a statement.

The Marshals Service, which handles federal prisoners across the US and pursues fugitives, discovered the hack and theft of data from its network on February 17. The service “disconnected the affected system, and the Department of Justice initiated a forensic investigation,” Wade said in the statement.

The Justice Department subsequently determined it “constitutes a major incident,” according to the statement. A “major incident” is a hack that is significant enough that it requires a federal agency to notify Congress.

A senior official familiar with the matter told CNN that no data related to the witness protection program was obtained during the incident.

The Justice Department’s investigation into the incident is ongoing.

NBC News first reported on the incident.

It’s at least the second significant malicious cyber incident to affect US federal law enforcement agencies in February.

The FBI had to move to contain malicious activity on part of its computer network earlier this month, CNN first reported at the time. FBI officials believe that incident involved an FBI computer system used in investigations of images of child sexual exploitation, two sources briefed on the matter told CNN.

There was no immediate indication that the US Marshals Service and FBI cyber incidents were related.

Seattle police officer assaulted during stolen vehicle recovery, incident escalates into barricade situation

AUSTIN POLICE DEPARTMENT STAFFING CRISIS: 77 OFFICERS COULD RETIRE BY END OF MARCH AS VACANCIES PILE UP

A Seattle police officer was assaulted while recovering a stolen vehicle early Sunday morning, according to the department.

The officer found the stolen vehicle in the 2300 block of Franklin Avenue East around 1:30 a.m., police said.

While recovering the vehicle, a man appeared from a nearby apartment and tried to intervene in the tow truck driving away with the stolen vehicle. Seattle police said the man was identified as a 42-year-old suspect with multiple outstanding felony warrants. A short foot pursuit ensued, and the officer took the suspect into custody.

As the officer waited for backup to arrive, the suspect started yelling and shouting for someone inside the apartment, police said. A 49-year-old woman walked out of the apartment and attempted to insert herself between the officer and the detained suspect.

A second man, aged 32, came out of the apartment and began to assault the officer to prevent him from detaining the first suspect, police said. The two men fled from the officer and barricaded inside the apartment. At this point, the woman dropped her efforts to interfere with the detainment of the male suspects.

Hostage negotiators arrived on scene and tried to persuade the suspects to exit the apartment. Police later obtained a search warrant to enter the apartment and arrested the suspects.

Seattle police said the officer sustained non-life-threatening injuries. The suspects were not injured in the incident.

The 42-year-old suspect was arrested on charges of assault, obstruction, resisting arrest, false reporting, and his outstanding warrants. The 32-year-old male suspect was arrested for assault and obstruction. They were both booked in King County Jail.

Officers have requested obstruction charges for the female suspect.

Two people in Ohio cold cases are identified after a plea for tips on one led to the ID of another

February 28, 2023 Published by CNN

CNN
—

Ohio investigators were trying to identify human remains found decades ago when a tip led them to identify the remains of another person found dead almost 200 miles away, officials said Monday.

Investigators now believe they’ve identified both sets of remains, officials said.

“Old-fashioned detective work, modern DNA technology, and a serendipitous tip that was offered in one case but proved vital in another case have led to the identification of two John Does in northeast and central Ohio,” a release from Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost’s office reads.

In August, the Mahoning County coroner’s office and Youngstown police released images of a clay facial reconstruction that an artist derived from human remains found in 1987 in Youngstown.

Anthropological analysis suggested the remains belonged to a Black male between the ages of 30 and 44 years. Investigators said at the time they believed the remains had been at the site where they were discovered for three to five years.

Shortly after the images were released, Youngstown police received multiple tips – including one that investigators eventually determined didn’t fit with the Youngstown case, but did connect with a different cold case across the state in Fayette County, the release reads.

In the Fayette County case, unidentified remains were discovered in 1981. The tip has helped the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation to identify the remains as those of Theodore Long, the release reads.

“It gives us some comfort that we no longer have to refer to this person by a location, but instead his name: Teddy Long,” Fayette County Sheriff Vernon Stanforth said.

The Fayette County Sheriff’s Office is investigating Long’s death as a homicide, the release said without elaborating. Details about how authorities believe Long died weren’t released.

At the same time, Youngstown detectives kept working on their 1987 case, and eventually were able to use genetic genealogy to identify the remains as those of Robert Sanders, the release reads.

Genetic genealogy compares unidentified DNA to DNA that was submitted to commercial databases by members of the public. In that comparison, researchers may find relatives of the person whose DNA is unmatched, and investigators can then check to see whether those families have a missing person.

The release did not include further details about Sanders’ death.

Both the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office and Youngstown police are asking anyone with information into either investigation to contact them.

CBP releases, ICE later arrests Brazilian fugitive wanted for murder who illegally entered the US

TEXAS POLICE ARREST MAN FOR HUMAN SMUGGLING AFTER FINDING HOUSE STASH WITH 46 MIGRANTS

ICE said its Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) in Boston arrested a Brazilian fugitive wanted for aggravated homicide last week, after a nearly two-year search.

ICE said in a press release that ERO officers apprehended the fugitive in Boston, Massachusetts on an active criminal warrant for the charge of aggravated homicide, which the man is accused of committing in Brazil.

“This fugitive has been accused of a heinous crime in his native country of Brazil and attempted to evade justice by hiding in Everett, Massachusetts,” ERO Boston Field Office Director Todd Lyons said. “The men and women of ERO Boston ensure foreign fugitives will not find refuge from their alleged crimes here in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. I am proud of my officers and the work that they do every day to provide for the safety and security of others in our communities.”

The agency did not identify the man but said the U.S. Customs and Border Protection apprehended him in August 2021 near Otak Mesa, California, after he was suspected of entering the country illegally.

The man was released on his own recognizance and issued a Notice to Appear after charging him with inadmissibility.

Following the man’s release, a criminal court in Governador Valadares, a city in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, issued a warrant for the man’s arrest.

The man will remain in ICE custody pending a hearing which will be scheduled with the Department of Justice’s Executive Office for Immigration Review, according to the press release.

In 2022, 46,496 noncitizens with criminal histories were arrested by ERO. Those arrested had 198,498 charges and convictions, including 21,531 assault offenses, 8,164 sexual and sexual assault offenses, 5,554 weapons offenses, 1,501 homicide-related offenses, and 1,114 kidnapping offenses.

As a part of ICE, ERO focuses on public safety threats like noncitizens who are convicted criminals or gang members and have violated immigration laws in the U.S.

TD Bank reaches $1.2 billion settlement in Ponzi scheme lawsuit

February 28, 2023 Published by CNN

New York
CNN
—

TD Bank will pay $1.2 billion to settle a lawsuit alleging its involvement in an infamous $7 billion Ponzi scheme orchestrated by disgraced financier Allen Stanford more than a decade ago.

Toronto-Dominion Bank agreed to pay $1.205 billion to a court-appointed receiver who will in turn pay back victims of the scheme but denied any wrongdoing, the bank said in a statement Monday

Stanford was sentenced to 110 years in prison in 2012 after being found guilty on 13 counts of fraud-related charges in Houston. Prosecutors charged that Stanford sold billions of dollars in fraudulent certificates of deposit administered by Stanford International Bank Ltd., an offshore bank in Antigua, ensnaring thousands of victims.

The lawsuit claimed TD Bank collected these deposits in US and Canadian dollar values and continuously ignored red flags about the Antigua-based bank over the years.

“As has been the case throughout these proceedings, TD expressly denies any liability or wrongdoing with respect to the multi-year Ponzi scheme operated by Stanford and makes no admission in connection to any Stanford matter as part of the settlement,” the Canada-based bank said in a statement.

“TD provided primarily correspondent banking services to Stanford International Bank Limited and maintains that it acted properly at all times,” the bank said.

The settlement announcement comes the same day the banks were scheduled for trial in Houston federal court, averting the trial. Additionally, HSBC will pay $40 million and Independent Bank, formerly Bank of Houston, will pay $100 million, the receivership’s counsel confirmed.

“HSBC is pleased to have resolved this claim, which relates to matters over a decade old, with no admission of any liability or wrongdoing,” the bank said in a statement.

Independent Bank did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In a securities filing, the firm denied liability or wrongdoing.

Investors alleged five banks – Trustmark

(TRMK), TD, Bank of Houston (now Independent Bank Group

(IBTX)), HSBC

(HBCYF) and Societe Generale Private Banking, or Suisse – knew or should have known about the alleged fraud perpetrated by Stanford, and that they aided and abetted the disgraced financier in the 20-year scheme.

The latest settlement brings the total recoveries amount to more than $1.6 billion.

“Given all the challenges faced by the receivership since 2009, this is nothing short of a monumental recovery,” said Kevin Sadler, lead counsel for the receiver, in a statement.

TD said it agreed to settle to “avoid the distraction and uncertainty of continuing a long legal proceeding.”

Clients of Stanford, were told that the certificates of deposit they purchased averaged a rate of return 3-4% higher than US CD’s, and that the bank made safe investments in products like stocks and bonds. But the money was actually used to fund the Texas tycoon’s lavish lifestyle, including multiple homes in the Caribbean and US.

Societe Generale reached a settlement of $157 million and Trustmark agreed to pay $100 million earlier this year.

San Diego Border Patrol seizes massive quantity of deadly, powerful drug, arrests three during traffic stop

BORDER PATROL SIEZES ENOUGH FENTANYL TO KILL 100 MILLION AMERICANS IN UNDER FIVE MONTHS

Border Patrol agents based in the San Diego Sector seized 232 pounds of fentanyl with a street value of about $3 million from a single vehicle, officials announced on Monday.

The massive drug bust took place during a traffic stop in San Clemente, a wealthy enclave about 75 miles inland from the U.S.-Mexico border in San Diego, multiple Border Patrol sources told Fox News.

It’s the third major fentanyl bust so far this month by Border Patrol between ports of entry, meaning that the drugs were successfully smuggled past CBP in a vehicle or were backpacked into the U.S. by mules.

FENTANYL AND A STRONGER FORM OF METH NOW DRIVING AMERICAN HOMELESS CRISIS

Border Patrol agents in Yuma, Arizona, seized 93 pounds of fentanyl from a single smuggler on Feb. 15, while agents seized 24 pounds of fentanyl from a group of smugglers on Feb. 14 near Nogales, Arizona.

Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz noted that the 232 pounds of fentanyl seized in Monday’s bust was enough to kill 50 million people.

Trafficking of fentanyl, a dangerous opioid 50 times more powerful than heroin, has surged in recent years.

Seizures of fentanyl by CBP jumped from about 4,800 pounds in 2020 to 14,700 pounds last year. At least 12,500 pounds of fentanyl have already been seized in the first four months of fiscal year 2023, which began last October.

Drug overdose deaths involving fentanyl, meanwhile, jumped about 22% in 2021 over 2020. The drug was involved in about two-thirds of the record 106,699 drug overdose deaths nationwide in 2021.

Fentanyl and the precursors used to manufacture it typically originate in China and make their way into the United States via the border, which is suffering a historic crisis in illegal crossings that began to surge after Biden’s election. The powerful opioid goes by several street names, according to the Drug Enforcement Agency, including Apace, China Girl, China Town, China White, Dance Fever, Goodfellas, Great Bear, He-Man, Poison, and Tango & Cash.

Howard University men's swimming and diving team wins first championship in 34 years

February 28, 2023 Published by CNN

CNN
—

The men’s swimming and diving team at Howard University won the 2023 Northeast Conference Championship on Saturday, the team’s first title in more than 30 years, the school’s athletic department tweeted.

The all-Black swim team earned 928 points during five days of competition in Geneva, Ohio, surpassing four other teams by a margin of 169 points, according to the results posted on the Northeast Conference Championship’s website. Howard, one of the oldest historically Black universities in the US, defeated teams from Long Island University, St. Francis College in Brooklyn, and Wagner College.

The Bison team also saw additional awards at the competition, including Miles Simon being named outstanding swimmer and Jordan Walker named outstanding diver.

Howard’s win was described as historic and significant in a sport that is predominantly White.

Simon, a senior at Howard, told CNN that African American athletes represent a very small percent of competitive swimmers in America.

“So, I guess seeing an all-Black swim team win the conference championship shows that, that number could be higher,” Simon told CNN.

The team was a runner-up in the competition last year, but “weren’t satisfied” with that, according to Nicholas Askew, director of swimming & diving at Howard – the only swim program offered at an HBCU.

“Howard can’t be the only place, the only option because we only have so many roster spots. There are so many people we unfortunately can’t have at Howard to be able to swim,” Askew told CNN. “We are so glad to be able to see the success and so prayerful that it will be taken note of by the other HBCU’s to restart their program so we can no longer be the only HBCU.”

Pennsylvania district considers bringing 'feelings' into math curriculum as some community members balk

SCHOOL DISTRICT FORCED TO PAY OVER 100K IN LEGAL FEES AFTER BANNING MOMS FROM EXPOSING PORNOGRAPHIC MATERIALS

A Pennsylvania school district may incorporate “feelings” into its math curriculum.

Littlestown Area School District proposed an elementary math curriculum that could integrate social-emotional learning into its curriculum.

“This board needs to decide if they want to make social and emotional learning a part of our math curriculum. I do not believe it belongs in the math classes,” said board member Jeanne Ewen at a board meeting on February 13.

“Some of the questions inside the math workbook ask, ‘Are you understanding how other people feel?’ What does this have to do with teaching math?”

According to a global nonprofit called the Committee For Children, social–emotional learning is an educational method that aims to help people develop the self-awareness, self-control and interpersonal skills that are needed for everyday life.

“This is just re-packaged critical race theory is what this is,” Board member Nicki Kenney said.

The “Reveal Math” program “explores mathematics through a flexible lesson design,” a “Program Overview” reads for kindergartners through fifth-graders.

Furthermore, it reads that the program will “provide access to rigorous instruction with embedded teacher support and scaffolds” which include lesson models and routines, social-emotional learning, language and English learner supports, and fluency.

The book prompts the reader to “support the whole child with social and emotional learning integration.”

“Every lesson integrates a social and emotional learning objective along with the math and language objectives of the lesson, addressing the CASEL Social and Emotional Learning competencies throughout each grade level.”

The Reviewers Guide Unit 2 section of the textbook prompts students to “Be curious.”

“Math is … mindset. How does identifying your feelings and emotions help you?”

It goes on to say that the Social and Emotional Learning objective is introduced in the Be Curious moment with the Math is … mindset prompt. Teachers have instructional support to connect the Social and Emotional focus to the content objective for the day.”

The Reviewers Guide Unit 2 section of the textbook prompts students to “Be curious.” This section prompts students to read, “Math is … mindset. How does identifying your feelings and emotions help you?”

The social-emotional learning objective is to enable students to collaborate with peers to complete a task.

LASD board members were determining whether social-emotional learning should be a part of teaching math.

“As an elementary school teacher, you’re also trying to teach social skills,” she said, recalling her early education as a kindergartener in the early ’70s. “You were taught social skills as well, back in the day. SEL is not all critical race theory. It’s not.”

A parent named Janell Ressler questioned the program during the public comment portion of the meeting.

“Why do students need to incorporate their feelings into solving math problems?” Ressler asked.

“Elementary students in this district need to be taught math in their math class, not equity and social discourse. This has nothing to do with solving math problems,” Ressler said.

Board vice-president Yancy Unger said that more research on this particular math program was needed.

The program will be further discussed and demonstrated at the Curriculum, Co-Curriculum, & Policy Committee on March 7 at 5 p.m.

Fox News Digital reached out to LASD for a comment, but they did not immediately respond.

What you missed if you didn't watch the SAG Awards on YouTube

February 28, 2023 Published by CNN

CNN
—

Without commercial interruptions or rushed acceptance speeches, Sunday’s Screen Actors Guild Awards, which streamed on Netflix’s YouTube channel, was one of the more relaxed award events in recent memory.

If you were among the million or so viewers who watched the show, you might have felt a little more like you were in the room than at home. Without a network or linear broadcast partner, the show felt unfiltered, with glimpses of stars mingling between presentations and plenty of speeches sprinkled with curse words that went uncensored.

Seated at a center table near the stage was Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos. The streaming giant will become the new home of the SAG Awards next year, and Sarandos, who appeared beaming at times on Sunday, may have given ratings-challenged award shows a formula for future success: keep it candid.

Award events get pared-down in the public discourse to a few moments of genuine emotion and humor that lend themselves to social media feeds and morning talk shows. The pacing of Sunday’s SAG Awards seemed to allow for more of them.

Here are some of the event’s highlights you may have missed:

Jamie Lee Curtis, from left, James Hong, and Michelle Yeoh.

The cast of “Everything Everywhere All at Once” took turns celebrating and dancing over their best ensemble win, before ceding the stage to James Hong, one of the film’s stars. The 94-year-old actor spoke with humor and heart about his long career in an industry where he faced much discrimination.

“My first movie was with Clark Gable, but back in those days, the leading role was played by these guys with their eyes taped up, and they talked like this,” said Hong, mimicking the offensive accent that was written for Asian characters at the time. “The producer said the Asians were not good enough and they (were) not box office, but look at us now.”

“I hope I will come back when I’m 100 years old,” Hong said.

Austin Butler escorts Sally Field to the stage at the SAG Awards.

“Elvis” star Austin Butler was captured by cameras offering his arm to help escort several honorees like Sally Field and Jennifer Coolidge to the stage.

His “sweetheart” chivalry did not go unnoticed on Twitter.

Jenna Ortega, left, and Aubrey Plaza present the award for outstanding performance by a male actor in a television movie or limited series.

Deadpan duo Aubrey Plaza and Jenna Ortega had one of the evening’s funnier presentations. The two wondered rhetorically why they were paired together to present the award for best male actor in a TV movie or miniseries.

“We should find the people who did this,” Plaza said, before Ortega joined in and the two said in unison, “and curse their families, and watch as misfortune follows their bloodline for the next seven generations.”

Dark comedy gold.

Lisa Ann Walter, Quinta Brunson and Sheryl Lee Ralph accept the award for outstanding performance by an ensemble in a comedy series.

“Abbott Elementary” creator and star Quinta Brunson was among several actors to include a few, appropriately timed curse words on stage.

“They are the best, and they are so f—ing funny all the time, y’all,” Brunson said of her sitcom cast.

“I’m in awe of all of them at every single turn and we just want to say thank you and [we’re] honored to be in the category with such amazing shows with amazing actors, peers of ours,” Brunson continued. “The peer award hits different though, don’t it? I feel good…So, thank you!”

We didn’t miss the beeps.

Brendan Fraser accepts the award for outstanding performance by a male actor in a leading role for "The Whale."

Brendan Fraser, who won for best performance by a lead actor for his role in “The Whale,” was one of several winners who had a poignant acceptance speech that had the audience in tears along with him.

“He’s someone who is on a raft of regrets, but he’s in a sea of hope, and I’ve been at that sea and I’ve rode that wave,” Fraser said of his character in the film. “All the actors out there who have gone through that or who are going through that, I know how you feel. But believe me, if you just stay in there and you put one foot in front of the other, you’ll get to where you need to go.”

Ke Huy Quan and Michelle Yeoh’s historic wins as the first Asian actors to win their respective categories charged the room with excitement and brought the crowd to their feet.

Their castmate Jamie Lee Curtis acknowledged her “nepo-baby” privilege as the daughter of two actors during her acceptance speech for best supporting actress, yet it’s hard to fault success when it is so sincerely received.

“I know that so many people in our industry who are actors don’t get to do this job, and you look at nights like this and think, ‘Is that ever going to be possible for me?’ And I know you look at me and think ‘nepo baby,’ that’s why she’s there, and I totally get it,” Curtis said. “But the truth of the matter is I’m 64 years old, and this is just amazing.”
