    The problem is that Hollywood elites think nothing of insulting or irritating fifty percent of movie watchers with their ideology on parade crap. Thus with each passing year fewer and fewer people end up watching the Academy Awards. Hollywood responds by going more outrageously in-your-face leftist on stage. It's as if logic . . . escapes . . . them.

    They deservedly got the lowest ratings ever.

    Imagine in the 1950s an actor getting up there and criticizing something the Eisenhower administration did.

    Cool.

    The OPINION of An Extreme RW Blogger (from an Extreme RW Blog).:bored:

    [​IMG]

    I have to say that I am not surprised.

    The Extreme RW always seems to hold a grudge toward Hollywood
    .

    And this OPINION is no different.:salute:

    Hmmmm . . . holding a grudge against Hollywood. Gasp! Do you think it might be because all those actors and actresses spew vile leftist politics at an award ceremony that people watch for reasons NOT having to do with politics?

    It'd be interesting to see a documentary which lays out the history of politics and Hollywood, how it's become such an echo chamber.

    Hollywood is in decline. A Korean movie won last night, and younger people look up to internet celebrities far more than Hollywood.

    Sadly, the numbers are indeed down - again. Gee AJ, just look HERE.

    Get woke, go broke. Can't say I'll miss the Oscars. Looks like few will.

    When I read the title of this thread, I took it to mean they were advocating for the right to have sex with animals. I don't think we can say "Hollywood wouldn't dare."

    I love movies, but I haven’t watched the Oscars in years, because I hate listening those self righteous pompous arse liberals political crap.

    Brat Pitt should take his own advice:

    “You shouldn't speak until you know what you're talking about. That's why I get uncomfortable with interviews. Reporters ask me what I feel China should do about Tibet. Who cares what I think China should do? I'm a ****ing actor! They hand me a script. I act. I'm here for entertainment. Basically, when you whittle everything away, I'm a grown man who puts on makeup.”

    Brad Pitt used to ride his motorcycles around here and so I am a bit aware.

    He's a meat puppet.

    At least one person watched (or at least trawled the internet for clips and gossip) and decided to write an article about it. And I suspect that if they changed how the ceremony worked to somehow remove the political commentary, she’d have written an article moaning about that instead. There is a certainty irony in someone using their media platform to make political commentary complaining about other people using their media platforms to make political commentary.

    There is plenty of trash spouted by so-called celebrities but there is just as much trash spouted by so-called news sites too. However misguided, I think the former is at least usually heartfelt and not entirely a means to an commercial end.

    The ancient Romans had it exactly right in that they considered actors on the same level as prostitutes.

    You must be joking, posting this thread in 'Current Events' (Invalidly posting as well - No question asked)... It won't stay very long, so I feel free to riff....

    I watched about 60% of the Oscars, because for once, I managed to see 3 Best Picture movies this year, probably first time that's happened in 20 years. Ford vs Ferrari, 1917, and OUAT in Hollywood. All were entertaining to various degrees, with Ford vs Ferrari being the best...

    The show itself was predictably lame, so from that standpoint, it's like watching 4 minutes of any Trump rally.

    Highlight? 5 stars for parking Margot Robbie in the front row... Steve Martin is still dang funny... If they want a permanent Oscar host, and he wants to do it, just give him the job for life...

    Lowlight? 2 Best Actor speeches... Joaquin Phoenix is quite possibly insane (not just his movie character).. Also a little sad Kirk Douglas didn't get more applause in the Death segment.... Man was a real hero in Hollywood breaking the blacklist, but most of today's actors don't know about him.

    In royal France, among the second zone citizens there were jews, protestants, actors. For people of color, it's a little bit particular even if the situation wasn't very bright aswell, for women it's another debate.

    I wouldn't agree however with your statement, even if I think we give way too much credit to the opinion of musicians, actors and other artists. I love art, that's not the problem, but celebrity is way to often used as an authority argument.

    @Pred Joaquin Phoenix got an oscar for "Joker", considering as much SJW hate this movie, I'm not sure there dream is fullfilled.

    Anyway, by nature a SJW dream can't be fullfilled. They're extremly similar to religious integrist or communist.
    In a countries dominated by religious integrist, you will always find people which would want to go further in extremism. That's the same for communism or different "revolutions" that went into a cycle of radicalization.

    In totalitarist system, there is many signs, we could quote :
    _ Manichaeism and ultra moralization
    _ Controle of language
    _ Strong controle of work of arts.
    I'm forgetting things, but I should read Hannah Harrendt as well Andrew Lobaczweski, they both wrote intersting things on totalitarian sytem.

    @US Conservative Internet celebrities aren't better, if not worse.

    I haven't seen any of the 3 movies, eventually i'll see FvF and 1917 when they hit dvd.

    I don't think I've seen a movie related awards show in ages, it doesn't entertain me to be honest.

    I still occasionally watch the music award shows because they have live performances which sometimes can be quite entertaining, so I'll stick with those but I won't go out of my way, if they happen to be on when i'm channel surfing then I'll stop and watch and then start channel surfing again as soon as I hit a commercial break.

    What’s invalid? It’s political. The link is there. Accurate title. It’s current. Any less valid than the 100s of Trump is a Russian plant threads we’ve seen for the past 3 years, hehe. At least this is funny and TRUE! ;)

    Thank you for posting this. I don't watch movies or TV, but I know I should care about the opinions of these people that perfected the art of being fake. Did you know that these people care about the poor so much, there is not a single homeless person in Beverly Hills? No tents or urine on Rodeo Drive! They have things figured out!
