[ARTS + CULTURE] Have I been on the internet too much lately, or have you heard about this too? Besides the very worrisome political happenings that pop up daily, all of my feeds have been flooded with a different outrage: the winners and nominees of awards season. One film in particular sparked a lot of backlash, especially after the Academy Award nominations for 2025 were announced Jan. 23.

Directed by Jacques Audiard, “Emilia Pérez” received an astounding 13 Oscar nominations, after having already won the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy earlier this month. A crime-musical-comedy, “Emilia Pérez” follows former drug lord Emilia Pérez (Karla Sofía Gascón) as she seeks out her dream life.

Krolczyk was hosted by the UW chapter of TPUSA, a national right-wing conservative organization founded by Charlie Kirk, who hosted an event at UW last spring quarter. Krolczyk is a Riley Gaines Center Ambassador, which is a part of the conservative training center, the Leadership Institute.

UW SDS hosted a rally on the Quad beginning at 5:30 p.m. in protest of Krolczyk’s presentation. Initially under 50 organizers, the rally joined a group of over 150 dancers and protesters in front of Thomson Hall on King Lane.

[ARTS + CULTURE] UW alum Sujin Witherspoon’s first novel “Bingsu for Two” debuted Jan. 14, with an event and conversation with fellow author and UW alum Zoe Hana Mikuta at the Elliot Bay Book Company.

At just 22 years old, Witherspoon was clearly nervous at the start of the event, but there was no need to be; nearly all the chairs in the cozy underground event space were full of family, friends, and boisterous readers excited to support Witherspoon in her debut, and the store sold out of paperback copies of “Bingsu For Two.”
