Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The Shiznit‘s annual takedown of all the films in contention for Oscars hasn’t disappointed.

The posters that have been given an honest remix include Joker – leading this year's Oscar contenders with 11 nominations – as well as The Irishman, 1917 and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which followed close behind with 10.

The Irishman’s poster references his controversial remarks on Marvel films, which sparked debate among film fans in 2019.

Little Women, which saw Greta Gerwig get snubbed in the Best Director category, Le Mans ’66 (known in the US as Ford v Ferrari) and Jojo Rabbit also featured.

Le Mans ’66 poster referenced the fact that there are still many people who don’t realise Christian Bale is British – as evidenced when he recently appeared on BBC Breakfast.

You can see a selection below but will be able to find the full list here.
