The Blaze’s Tomi Lahren and Doc Thompson are making a mockery of the Academy Awards, announcing an Oscar-night alternative viewing, the liberal-bashing “Snowflake Awards.” Not surprisingly, a ton of high-profile Hollywood stars have received nominations.
“Instead of watching the Oscars this year, watch us mock the Oscars this year,” Thompson said of the show that airs head-to-head against the Academy Awards on Feb. 26.
“Snowflake” is a derogatory term that conservatives use to describe liberals on right-leaning shows such as Fox News’ “Hannity.” The “Snowflake Awards” are an actual event and fans can vote to determine the winner from a variety of categories.
The nominees include Amy Schumer, Colin Kaepernick, Lena Dunham, Debra Messing, Miley Cyrus and Michael Moore in the “Best Snowflake” category. Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jimmy Buffet, Don Cheadle, George Lopez and Michael Moore are up for “Best Hypocrite.”
In the “Best Faux Humanitarian” category, the nominees are Sean Penn, George Clooney, 50 Cent, Mark Ruffalo and Michael Moore. “Best Meltdown” contenders include Jimmy Kimmel, Shia LeBeouf, Chelsea Handler, Sarah Silverman, Debra Messing and Chuck Schumer.
Nominees in the “Most PC Effort” include Moby, Donald Sutherland, Iggy Azalea, Rob Reiner and Gary Johnson.
Lahren has emerged as a rising star among conservative media over the past few months, appearing on “The Daily Show,” “Real Time” and a variety of Fox News programs. She popularized the term “snowflake” during her “Final Thoughts” segment on TheBlaze.
10 Times Tomi Lahren Has Courted Outrage: From Black Lives Matter to President Obama (Photos)
Forthcoming Fox News contributor Tomi Lahren doesn't keep her opinions to herself -- even when her job is on the line. Scroll through to look back at times when Lahren has inflamed both the left and the right.
Lahren caught plenty of flak when she criticized Beyonce's performance at Super Bowl 50. "Even the Super Bowl halftime show has become a way to politicize and advance the notion that black lives matter more," Lahren said.
Lahren took serious issue with Jesse Williams' BET Awards acceptance speech, in which he spoke of police brutality toward black Americans. "I saw a lot of talent on that stage, but at the same time a whole lot of victimhood," she said.

Trevor Noah Appearance
The two sparred over protests to Donald Trump’s presidential election victory and the Black Lives Matter movement. It probably didn’t help that Lahren previously compared the latter to the KKK. Lahren claimed she doesn’t “see color,” which drew a laughing-gasp from the Comedy Central crowd.
Lahren was fired from her job at Glenn Beck's "The Blaze" in April after she revealed in an appearance on "The View" that she is pro-choice when it comes to abortion. She then sued her former boss for wrongful termination.

Interview with Jazz Jennings on Transgender Rights
In August, Lahren sat down with the star of TLC's "I am Jazz" to discuss transgender rights and bathroom bills. She asked Jennings if, when she was in second grade using the girls' restroom, others at school thought she was a "pervert."

Charlottesville response
After violent white supremacist rallies in Charlottesville, Virginia in August, Lahren posted a video on Facebook denouncing liberals who she says blame all Trump supporters for the deadly chaos. "It’s this phony identity politics that lost you the election. The average Trump supporter is not a Nazi or white supremacist," she said.

Glenn Beck Countersues
Later in August, Lahren was counter-sued by Glenn Beck and The Blaze. The countersuit paints Lahren as “inappropriate and unprofessional,” as well as a “divisive” person who “created conflicts with other media personalities” at the organization.
