Emma Watson was too busy not dating Prince Harry to attend the Oscars on Sunday night, but she still made her presence known. The Harry Potter star has added “activist” to her portfolio of skills, including launching the HeForShe campaign, which aims to bring together “one half of humanity [men] in support of the other half of humanity [women], for the benefit of all.”
It’s a noble and worthy endeavor, and during the Academy Awards, Steve Carell, who was nominated for Best Actor for his work in Foxcatcher, wore special HeForShe cufflinks.
Dear Steve Carell,
You were pure genius in Little Miss Sunshine (one of my all time favourite films), my brother became obsessed with you after Anchorman, I wanted to marry you or have you adopt me after Crazy, Stupid, Love, I hated that guy you played in The Way Way Back, and then you were mind-blowing in Foxcatcher. I think you’re so awesome and today you are wearing #HeForShe Monique Péan cufflinks at the Oscars to support Gender Equality. Couldn’t be more proud! THANK YOU.
Love,
Emma x

You be fighting against yourself
Does anybody else find the line ” I wanted to marry you or have you adopt me ” super creepy?
No?
Naw, that’s pretty much how I felt too. But I was more like if he can’t be my adopted dad Id totes hit that instead. So I get what Emma is feeling.

Langwulf’s reply comment is a very good comment, in that the text content of it is extremely wonderful.
Creepy, but in a cute way.
Yeah it’s just her being cutesy in a not remotely sexual way. We’re the gross creeps mentally adding in “after I saw you in ‘Crazy, Stupid, Love’ I wanted to shoot Nancy Walls in the back of the head so’s I could get some of that old man dick. Then later, some daddy/daughter roleplay.”
(And yes, you’re a disappointment if your Carell/Watson fantasy didn’t also include a conspiracy to murder Steve’s wife before they get to it.)
Steve’s mind was perplexed. His penis was not.
Haha, Langwulf! Thanks so much for that. Made me laugh pretty hard.
Oh aren’t we famous people marvelous? Lets all kiss each other’s bums bums fiddle de fiddley bum
I want to either marry this comment or have it adopt me.
Yeah, that’s a completely warranted response

Don’t drag the Irish into this.
I just wish I had thought of making cufflinks for $2, that stand for gender equality, and then sell them to celebs for $20,000 to wear to awards ceremonies, so that they can know whether one another are in on the same “movement”.
Dumb cunt.
That’s my favourite kind of cunts!
Better than smart cunts, with their tactical, surgical pinpoint accuracy.
Fuck you!
She’s so proud.
Ugh, where do I vomit?
Yeah, fuck gender equality. Women should stay in the kitchen and make babies, amirite?
In hell.
Steve needs to hit that. Like right.fucking.now.
If Steve doesn’t hit it, he’s gay or has very high moral standards.
She probably wouldn’t let it happen cuz she’s a feminist
Ugh now I can’t decide if I would watch their sex tape or not?
Depends on the camera angles and amount of body hair.
The lack of any mention of Michael Scott in her letter is unsettling to say the least.
THANK YOU!!
Wikipedia lists movies before TV, so maybe she didn’t bother scrolling down any further.
Why? Carell was the worst part of The Office?
Considering she’s British, is it a stretch to assume she would prefer Ricky Gervais?
@Phrederic I hope you’re joking.
@lowcalcalzonezone I too prefer the term “joking” to “trolling”.
@lowcalcalzonezone I know people love Carell, but I find his awkward, cringe comedy stuff to be pretty one-note. I’ve never liked his work and part of the reason I couldn’t get into the Office was him. Didn’t like him in the Daily Show either, so burn me at the stake now.
And Watson is a film actress, it makes sense that she’d give props for film over TV work (especially because The Office was hardly a prestige show).
I’m still waiting for her thank-you note to me for wearing my “HeForShe” cock ring.
lmmfao
I like lamp. Actually, that’s not true. I enjoy when people who went to Ivy League universities utilize things such as periods mark the ends of sentences.
I thought chicks are supposed to have nice handwriting?
Wizards are like doctors in that their handwriting is sloppy.
Why did she hashtag HeForShe in a hand-written letter? Isn’t the whole point of a hashtag so that someone could click on it in an online setting to see other posts/links related to that tag? Sort of makes it seem like this letter was a publicity stunt meant to go public.
Wait, the fact that she tweeted the photo didn’t give that away?
@lowcalcalzonezone
Oh. Yeah. That makes sense. Don’t judge me. I got back from Vegas last night.
This article requires a picture.
Gender equality isn’t a problem in the US anymore.
Naw, its all about The Man keeping minorities down.
HAHAHA, that’s a good one…
Oh, wait you’re serious aren’t you?
Please god tell me that was a(/an) (unfunny) joke, Neil.
what the hell is up with her handwriting? looks like chicken scratch
wow… y’all are haters… on a side note Emma looks gorgeous!
I guess they don’t teach handwriting in England anymore either. Gryffindor just lost 20 points in my book.
And you lost a dick in my book. *Pulls out knife*
“Yeah, I’ll write a thank-you note, a personal letter, but then I’ll tweet it so eeeeeeeeerrryone can see what a good person I am”
FUCK HER. FUCK HER PRETENTIOUS FIRST WORLD WASP FEMINISM WITH A HUGE RUSTY SHOVEL. #hypocriticalbitch
I’ll hit you with a shovel.
The only wasp I see is you.
I guess they don’t teach proper citation at Brown.
Remind me what source needed to be cited??
