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.

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.
