My recent work focusing on Latino voters in Arizona has shown me how crucial independent journalism is in giving voice to underrepresented communities.

Your support is what allows us to tell these stories, bringing attention to the issues that are often overlooked. Without your contributions, these voices might not be heard.

Every dollar you give helps us continue to shine a light on these critical issues in the run up to the election and beyond

As exciting a time as Oscar season is, it's fairly clear that, if one were to attempt it, the entire thing could be picked apart, leaving nominees' reputations in tatters.

That's exactly what The Shiznit have done... again.

For an internet audience, the nomination announcement is rapidly falling by the wayside against these annual 'honest posters' - officially an awards season highlight.

The good news is that this year's batch are as brutally hilarious as last year's were.

Following Straight Outta Compton's Best Picture snub, we bet Ice Cube's a big fan - feast your eyes on a selection below.
