    AceShowbiz –
    Pete Davidson, Regina King, and director David Fincher have been honoured by animal rights group PETA at their annual Oscats Awards.

    The organisation’s Animals in Film and Television division has rewarded stars and filmmakers for their ethical choices and support for creatures onscreen, and Davidson has been handed the Best Costume prize for the “Hunt Mushrooms, Not Animals” T-shirt his character wore in “The King of Staten Island”.

    A “Meat Is Murder” sticker on Riz Ahmed’s refrigerator in “Sound of Metal” has landed him the Sticking It to Meat award while King has been honoured with the One to Watch trophy for “giving senior dogs a shout-out on the world stage and for not forcing a single animal onto the set for her feature film directorial debut, “One Night in Miami…”.

    The organisation’s bosses have handed Fincher the Monkey Scene, Monkey Didn’t award for his use of “digitally rendered” monkeys, elephants, and giraffes instead of real wild animals in “Mank”, while the Best Bear Who Wasn’t There award has gone to “The Call of the Wild” for its “innovative use of CGI”, and Robert Downey Jr.’s “Dolittle” has been given the Tech, Not Terror honour for swapping the live-animal cast from the 1967 original with impressive “computerized graphics.”

    Other prizes have been awarded to director Mike White, who grabs the Best Adapted Screenplay for “The One and Only Ivan”, with PETA spokesperson Moira Colley telling WENN, “The film’s strong anti-captivity message was delivered without exploiting real wild animals. And I’m Thinking of Ending Things has nabbed the Meta Meat-Free Moment award for a scene in which a restaurant server talks about ‘the killing of sensitive cows for hamburgers.’ ”

    All the winners will receive a framed certificate.

    Pete Davidson Transforms Into The Queen on 'SNL'

    Instagram

    The ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ star dresses up in drag costume as he receives a dramatic makeover from the ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ judge on ‘Saturday Night Live’.
    Feb 10, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Pete Davidson was given a complete drag makeover by “Saturday Night Live” host RuPaul during this weekend’s February 8, 2020 instalment.
    As the “RuPaul’s Drag Race” judge took on presenting duties, show regular Davidson returned in his role as Chad – a lovable idiot who’s very agreeable and down for anything.
    In the pre-taped segment, RuPaul appeared as himself, and was seen posing for a photoshoot for the cover of Drag magazine as he lamented that the world of drag needs a new star.
    “Everyone take five!” RuPaul declares to the crew, turning to Chad. “Leave me, with the future of drag.”
    He tells Davidson’s character, “There’s something dynamic about you, boy! Have you ever done drag?”
    “Naw, just weed and pills,” Chad says with a shrug and a blank expression, before RuPaul begins the makeover.
    “Step one: The Tuck!” RuPaul explains, teaching him to disguise his bulge, before presenting Chad with a dress, fake breasts, and finally applying his make-up.
    Eventually, the “Skin Wars” host completes the full look, but Chad ends up walking away because he finds being a drag queen too much hard work.

    The “Saturday Night Live” social media pages also shared a time lapse video of Davidson’s full make-up session to transform Chad into his drag persona, The Queen.
