Celebrities are not new to being asked weird questions, and for actresses, the questions can be outright sexist. Scarlett Johansson has had her fair share of such questions throughout her career, unfortunately.
The actress has no problem putting the interviewer in their place, and she has done it ever so often. However, one time, the Black Widow star was on the receiving end of a rather silly question, and Robert Downey Jr., her co-star, shut it down immediately.

Another big award show took place this weekend (in addition to the SAG Awards), the Film Independent Spirit Awards, which celebrates indie film and TV. One thing about this awards show is that their idea of independent sometimes makes me scratch my head a bit, with HBO’s big-budget The Last of Us nominated a whole bunch in the TV category, along with Netflix’s Beef and several other streaming shows, which I’m not sure one could call independent. For films, there’s a $30 million budget cap. For TV, I’m honestly not sure what the benchmark is because Last of Us was notoriously an expensive show to shoot, costing at least $100 million.
Indeed, The Last of Us won some key awards on the TV side, winning Best Supporting Performance (for Nick Offerman) and Best Breakthrough Performance (for Keivonn Montreal Woodard). Over on the film side, American Fiction and...
