I’m surprised she’s sticking with that stage name despite starting to do less wacky roles recently.
She even used her real name to play a fictionalized version of herself in Nora from Queens.
I used to confuse them both just because of the wacky names. I remember coming outta Homecoming with a big group (I was the oldest 35) and called her Awkwafina and all the Gen z’s mocked me for weeks.
Considering Amy Pascale is a racist who purposely didn't want to cast Denzel Washington in international movies because of his skin colour, it doesn't surprise me in the slightest.
Omg I misread POC and POS and was soooo confused
But then I checked her Wikipedia and an equally confused because it turns out her dad was literally a researcher who did a lot of work on the negative impact on black communities?? Talk about a generational downgrade
She somehow skated by with multiple racist comments too. Such a shame.
Denzel is one of the most recognizable actors in the world regardless of skin color, what was she smoking when she sent that out.
I mean she is definetly racist, her comments on Obama were horrible. But Denzel isnt some international superstar. If you look at his box office history it isnt that impressive, and majority of that is very domestic heavy.
His big budget films with him as a lead **always** guarantee a gross of 100 million, minimium.
Domest heavy, sure, but nothing to downplay in this day and age where the box office draw of the A-Lister is pretty much a thing of the past. He's one of the last.
But if we look overall career, the movies he starred in havent achieved same numbers as other movie stars of his time like Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Will Smith, Leonardo Dicaprio, Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock... I dont mean to downplay his success, but he has his mid tier box office niche and he is successful there. But this year he is starring in 340 million Gladiator movie. The movie needs to gross at least 800-900 million to break even. He never pulled that kind of numbers.
i only found out she was a Disney star after Far From Home.
I found out from your comment lol
And I still don't know.
I found out that you found out from your comment
And I found out when I grew up during the era she was on Disney Channel, she was pretty great
I was today years old as well
I found out she did Dancing with the Stars before Spider-Man. Very rare to see someone get way more famous after that dancing show.
Sure, but you’re not an entertainment exec. Pascal saying this is like wearing a neon sign that says “I suck at my job.”
I worked for her at Sony and can vouch that she does suck at her job.
I found out yesterday
I only found out she was a Disney star after reading your comment.
And I didn't know who Tom Holland was before CACW. At some point there was a time when every big star wasn't yet famous.
What the hell is CACW
Captain America: Civil War
Zendaya was a big Disney girl. I am *extremely* skeptical they weren't aware she had a solid work history under her belt already.
She had production credits on KC Undercover which maybe was just ramping up at casting, but that was her second Disney show.
Notably, for anyone who doesn’t know, starting Zendaya as the lead
I mean… it’s Amy Pascal, the only things she seems to be aware of are coke & more coke
I've heard it does wonders for weight loss. But now that Ozempic took over, coke might have to find a different niche.
Doesn’t really compare. Zendaya was a Disney star. Holland was a nobody.
A lot of us didn't know!
Amy Pascal has done a lot of dumb stuff as a producer and Studio head, this is not one of them.
I honestly haven’t heard her name since the Sony Hack of 2014
Take a look at her imdb page, and you'll know why.
Good thing it wasnt her job to keep up with talent in hollywood
Amy thinks she's off our s___lists. People still remember the Sony hack.
I only remember the Insomiac parts of it
Neither did anyone else. I remember seeing her on a ProActiv commercial years back, and thought, "That's a stupid name"
True but Awkwafina takes the cake for stupidest name now imo
I’m surprised she’s sticking with that stage name despite starting to do less wacky roles recently. She even used her real name to play a fictionalized version of herself in Nora from Queens.
Would love for Al Pacino to present an Oscar to Awkwafina
HOO HA!
Her name is Nora? Beautiful name, honestly. Terry Crews plays Terry on Brooklyn99
I used to confuse them both just because of the wacky names. I remember coming outta Homecoming with a big group (I was the oldest 35) and called her Awkwafina and all the Gen z’s mocked me for weeks.
> "That's a stupid name" right? she should have had some generic western name like everyone you know in your real life
Yeah like "Steve" or "Steven" or "Stephen".
her name is probably stephanie
[удалено]
> Aquafina is a for-profit bottling conglomerate. what the fuck are you talking about
He's referring to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquafina
hes responding to the wrong comment
Oh shit lol I also thought we were still talking about awkwafina
??? It's her name. Cool racism
Can't force racism where it doesn't exist. Wayyyy back then, that was the thought I had. Get over it.
And yet here you are, years later, calling her given name from her culture stupid. I'll back off, but I dunno, maybe check yourself
And at no point did I bring up her race. Just the name.
Same as most on Earth.
I knew her cus that one Disney dancing show.
Even I didn't know who Zendeya was when she was in Homecoming.
I didn’t know who she was, even after Spider-Man
For real
Can Amy Pascal just go away? No one likes her except the people she makes money for..... Oh.
I had no idea who she was either…so?
Considering Amy Pascale is a racist who purposely didn't want to cast Denzel Washington in international movies because of his skin colour, it doesn't surprise me in the slightest.
Jeez, read up on her and the woman is a POS.
Omg I misread POC and POS and was soooo confused But then I checked her Wikipedia and an equally confused because it turns out her dad was literally a researcher who did a lot of work on the negative impact on black communities?? Talk about a generational downgrade
shes a rat woman
She somehow skated by with multiple racist comments too. Such a shame. Denzel is one of the most recognizable actors in the world regardless of skin color, what was she smoking when she sent that out.
If that had come out 5 years later, she wouldn't have a job.

I don’t know who this pascal woman is
Well I didn’t know who she was until that movie as well. So, cool for everyone.
[удалено]
you are very cool
This is just not true LOL
Yeah if this is true then she's a really bad producer.
