Long before a bemused Riz Ahmed read its name on Oscar nominations morning, the title of Pamela Ribon's short film has tended to have an effect on those who hear it. Like when Ribon went to pick up her festival credential at SXSW in Austin, Texas, shortly before premiering her movie there.

Guy at the desk, not missing a beat: "Hard same."

It's based on Ribon's 2014 memoir, "Notes to Boys " -- particularly a chapter that documents 15-year-old Ribon's resolution to lose her virginity in 1991 while growing up on the outskirts of Houston.

"Not everybody has sent a note to a boy but everybody's had a year of dicks -- academically or in business or dating. It has a lot of layers," Ribon says. "So it has been a way to bring everyone in, unfortunately. Everyone's like `Hard same."' "I liked to have an audience from the beginning when I was processing my thoughts," says Ribon. "I'm still that way. I much prefer writing an email about my day than keeping it to myself. It feels weird to talk to me."

"My Year of Dicks" began as a television project for FX Networks, but the filmmakers ultimately decided to try their luck on the festival circuit. Since the Walt Disney Co. owns FX, "My Year of Dicks" technically counts, ironically enough, as one of Disney's Oscar nods, alongside the likes of "Avatar: The Way of Water" and "Turning Red."

No one gives a shit about the Oscar's, Grammy or Golden Globes anymore. They caused their own demise with the anti-white rhetoric, race baiting and virtues signaling. Bunch of globalist pedos and Epstein buddies at that.
