Well, well, well, it appears the hostless Oscars came to play. The 2019 ceremony just delivered what could be an Academy Awards first: An acceptance speech dedicated to none other than menstrual periods!
Period. End of Sentence. just won the Oscar for Best Documentary Short. “I’m not crying because I’m on my period, or anything,” said director Rayka Zehtabchi. “I can’t believe a film about menstruation just won an Oscar,” she continued. Zehtabchi (who is 25!!) shared the stage with producer Melissa Berton and the rest of the Period team.
Period tells the story of women in rural India fighting for menstrual equality, in a place where periods still face intense stigma. The doc tells of the women’s pad-making operation. It’s a feel-good story for a good cause.
In the audience, Melissa McCarthy and Richard E. Grant also seemed thrilled about the short’s win. Whoever said “thank you” speeches should be canceled was just owned. Women’s empowerment leveled up. Periods got the attention they deserved. It was a win-win-win-win.
Watch the full acceptance speech below.
I heard that they really padded some of the parts.
Seems feminists have an inferiority problem and hate being women.
Disney made a very nice little film about menstruation, back in 1946.

Still relevant today and suitable for viewing by young women everywhere.
Did they mention him during the presentation? If not, they SHOULD have!
Say what? They did a story on menstruation? That took balls! I mean, it took a lot of hair! Hopefully the presentation went well and they didn’t muff it.
All we need is
A Time Mooshen!
“Ow, my balls!”
A new low for the Oscars devolving downward since the Golden Days of Burton and Taylor.
Tank you collective of liberal fascists...... TANK!
WHAT!? That's politically incorrect! TRANNIES have periods too!! How DARE they focus only on CIS women and neglect the poor TRANNIES who do their level best to menstruate once a month too!
Take back the oscar!!
(/sarcasm)
My Lawyer,
Frito Bendejo!
Ha!
“We ate sand.”
Reminds me of an old comedy bit. Andy Richter talking about how he loved the book growing up and how much it meant to him, and then somebody explains that his favorite passages were really about menstruation. He was crestfallen.
This bright persevering man is the future of India and reminds me of the tinkerers and bootstrap engineers of our own 19th and 20th century.
Nah, nocturnal emissions will be the next Oscar winner.
Or Bed Wetting.
so this is the real story. Not the Awards tripe?
I can’t believe anyone actually gives a sh*t about the Oscars...
That is a fascinating story!
