It's awards season in Hollywood and our very own Cate Blanchett is cleaning up, but she's calling BS on the whole thing. What is the patriarchal pyramid, and what does it have to do with awards shows? 

Plus, a Melbourne worker has gone viral after having his pay docked for being on his phone during a shift. What are the rules when it comes to devices in the workplace?

And the male versus female friendship theory we can't un-see.

The End Bits: 

RECOMMENDATIONS: Mia wants you to check out The Living With Teens Summit. You can access your early-bird discounted ticket here. Holly wants you to watch Happy Valley Season 3 on Binge.
