At Oscars, Florida’s ‘Don’t Say Gay’ Bill Target of Joke

At the Oscars, they said gay. The first political salvo of Sunday night’s Academy Awards in Los Angeles came in the opening monologue, when Wanda Sykes one of the trio of hosts for the show took a thinly veiled jab at Florida’s so-called Don’t Say Gay bill that passed a Republican-controlled state legislature earlier this month. We’re going to have a great night tonight, said the openly gay Sykes. And for you people in Florida, we’re going to have a gay night. OSCARS COVERAGE Academy Awards Mar 28 Will Smith Smacks Chris Rock at Oscars Over Joke About Jada Pinkett Smith Oscars 2022 Mar 28 Cardi B, Trevor Noah and More React After Will Smith Slaps Chris Rock at 2022 Oscars She and fellow hosts Amy Schumer and Regina Hall then repeated the word gay multiple times, as many in the crowd such as Denzel Washington and Nicole Kidman smiled and applauded in delight. The bill, which passed earlier this month and has been staunchly defended by Gov. Ron DeSantis, forbids instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade. Its passing by Florida lawmakers rejected an onslaught of criticism from Democrats that it marginalizes LGBTQ people. It has been loudly opposed by LGBTQ advocates, the White House and many within the entertainment industry. The shot at the Florida bill wasn’t the only political jab the hosts took in their opening monologue. This year we saw a frightening display of how toxic masculinity turns into cruelty towards women and children, Hall said. Damn that Mitch McConnell, Sykes responded. Hall said she was merely setting up a line about Oscar-nominated The Power of the Dog. And they didn’t just target politics as joke subjects to open the show: The trio also made light of the controversial decision to have eight Oscars presented before the show, basketball star LeBron James’ hairline and even the Golden Globes.

GM Looks to Increase Electric Hummer Production as Reservations Top 65,000, Exceeding Expectations

GM has received more than 65,000 reservations for its electric GMC Hummer pickups and SUVs, as the automaker attempts to expedite production of the vehicles to meet demand. The reservations number is higher than the automaker’s initial expectations, according to Duncan Aldred, global vice president of GMC. The Hummer EV pickup is currently on sale, but new orders would not likely be fulfilled until 2024 due to the number of reservations. PHOENIX General Motors has received more than 65,000 reservations for its electric GMC Hummer pickups and SUVs, as the automaker attempts to expedite production of the vehicles to meet demand. The reservations number is higher than the automaker’s initial expectations, according to Duncan Aldred, global vice president of GMC. The number of people converting their reservations into orders to buy the Hummer pickup, about 95, is also higher than expected, he said. Production’s actually slightly ahead of plan and we’re putting things in place now to actually expedite that as well, so we can deliver these reservations quicker than we originally thought, he told CNBC here during a media event. We’re seeing momentum building. The Hummer EV pickup is for sale, but new orders would not likely be fulfilled until 2024 due to the number of current reservations, Aldred said. The SUV, which GM unveiled last year after the pickup, isn’t expected to arrive until 2023. Reservations for the electric Hummers have largely been for the pickup because it was launched first, but newer reservations have been more evenly split between the truck and SUV, according to Megan Hart, assistant marketing manager for Hummer. The company declined to provide a specific breakdown between reservations of the pickup and SUV. March has been the best month for reservations aside from when the vehicles were unveiled, Aldred said. GMC started advertising for the Hummer EV pickup late last month with NBA star Lebron James acting as a celebrity spokesman for the vehicle. What we’re looking at now is how can we build the maximum amount and how can we deliver, fulfill these reservations as quickly as possible? Aldred said. We’re doing all the studies on that and we’re confident we can go a lot quicker than we originally thought, but it still means a reservation now probably means delivering in ’24. GM The 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV and 2022 GMC Hummer EV sport utility truck, or SUT. Aldred said work to increase production includes obtaining additional supplies of key components, including battery cells. GM is still in early days of production of the Hummer pickup at a plant in Detroit. Legacy automakers and new EV start-ups have conducted slower production ramp-ups of new electric vehicles than previous ones to conduct significant safety and quality control efforts. GM sold one Hummer EV pickup in December. The Detroit automaker is expected to report its first-quarter sales, including Hummer EVs, on Friday. The company is on track to produce more vehicles than it originally planned to, Aldred said. And then similarly next year, we’re going to build quite significantly more than our original plan. The Hummer EV pickup is an important vehicle for GM. It is the first to include the Detroit automaker’s next-generation battery cells and platform, known as Ultium. It’s viewed as a new flagship product for the brand and company. Due to the price of the vehicle, volumes are lower than other trucks, but it’s still profitable, Aldred said. GM is currently building a limited Edition 1 launch version of the pickup that starts at $110,295. Other, lower-priced versions ranging from about $80,000 to $100,000 will follow.

Lakers Part Ways With Head Coach Frank Vogel Two Years After NBA Title

The Los Angeles Lakers are parting ways with head coach Frank Vogel. The decision, first reported by Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, was announced by the team in a tweet Monday morning. Per the ESPN report, the Lakers front office, led by general manager Rob Pelinka, was expected to tell Vogel he is not returning on Monday when the team returns to Los Angeles for exit interviews. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Frank both on and off the court, said Rob Pelinka, the Lakers Vice President of Basketball Operations and General Manager. Frank is a great coach and a good man. We will forever be grateful to him for his work in guiding us to the 2019-20 NBA championship. This is an incredibly difficult decision to make, but one we feel is necessary at this point. All of us here wish Frank and his wonderful family all the best for the future. Vogel is clearly the scapegoat for arguably the most disappointing season in Lakers history. After acquiring former MVP Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony last summer, the Lakers were the early favorites to win the NBA title. But injuries, lack of cohesion, and an aging roster led to a record of 33-49 and the team finished in 11th place in the Western Conference, missing the playoffs and play-in tournament entirely. Although reports were that LeBron James and Anthony Davis had more to do with the Lakers 2021-22 roster construction than Vogel did, it is still the head coach who will take the fall after this disastrous season. If indeed Vogel has coached his final game, he finishes with a record of 127-98 in his three seasons as head coach, winning the NBA Championship with the Lakers in 2020. James missed 26 games this season, and Davis has missed 78 games over the past two seasons. Vogel, a defensive-minded coach who had the Lakers finishing third in defensive rating in 2019-20, and first in 2020-21, ranked 21st this season. Injuries and a consistent roster were a constant challenge for Vogel this season. He had over 40 different starting lineups, and not a single five-man lineup was able to play more than 100 minutes together on the court, the only team in the NBA with that little amount of time together according to ESPN Stats & Information. The Big Three of James, Davis, and Westbrook as it was known, was only able to play 21 games together, finishing 11-10 in those games. The Lakers were still in playoff contention at the All-Star break, but lost 18 of their last 24 games, sinking to the bottom of the standings. Only three other teams in the entirety of the NBA had a worse record after the All-Star break than the Lakers. Wojanrowski’s tweet came seconds after the Lakers 146-141 come-from-behind victory over the Denver Nuggets in the season finale on Sunday. The Lakers trailed the Nuggets by nine points with a minute remaining, but tied the game with 06.4 remaining thanks to Austin Reaves steal and coast-to-coast layup. After the game, when asked about the reports that he has coached his last game with the Lakers, Vogel said I haven’t been told s-, and I’m going to enjoy tonight’s game. And I’ll deal with tomorrow, tomorrow. The Lakers search for a new coach will likely be lengthy and exhausting, especially after they passed up opportunities to sign current Phoenix Suns head coach Monty Williams and Clippers’ head coach Ty Lue back in 2019. Below are the current odds on who will be the Lakers coach for the 2022-23 season courtesy of Sports Betting AG.
