Times Insider delivers behind-the-scenes insights into how news, features and opinion come together at The New York Times.
This is my third go at covering the Oscars as The Times’s awards writer, the Carpetbagger, and heading into the season, I wondered what sort of hullabaloo would erupt this time.
In 2016, there was #OscarsSoWhite: For the second year in a row, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences hadn’t nominated a single minority director or actor, prompting public outcry and demands for greater diversity in the movie business.
A Times reporter called it “a members-only club for the tanned and surgically enhanced” set. It’s Mar-a-Lago, the 126-room pink castle on Florida’s Gold Coast that is the winter White House for President Donald J. Trump and his new administration.
The White House correspondent Julie Hirschfeld Davis visited Mar-a-Lago for the first time last weekend.

MELBOURNE, Australia — In the days after President Trump’s ban on immigrants from several Muslim countries, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull of Australia spent a lot of time saying nothing. He said nothing about the ban itself, enduring days of headlines about his failure to express even the mildest disagreement with the policy.
“It is not my job,” he said, “to run a commentary on the domestic policies of other countries.” That’s about as adventurous as he got.
The Democratic National Committee will choose its next leader on Saturday, and when it does it should choose a leader who will resist the pressure to pursue the wrong white people. Hundreds of articles have been written about the imperative of attracting more support from white working-class voters who supported Barack Obama in 2012 but then bolted to back Donald J. Trump.
Gail Collins: Frank, it’s so exciting to take a break from Donald Trump and converse about — movies! Although I truly believe that almost everything about the Academy Awards this year will be political.
Frank Bruni: That is a bit of unimpeachable soothsaying, Gail. I’d suggest that the drinking game for this year’s Oscars is a quaff every time there’s a reference, explicit or oblique, to our 45th president, but I fear I’d be blamed — rightly — for a national cirrhosis epidemic.
