    Its on TV currently and its just jab after jab after jab. Guess they're hoping for better ratings this year=)

    So while they demand equality, getting into the show is the epitome of elitism.

    Equality doesn't include actors making more in a few months working on a movie than many will make in a lifetime.

    While they support powerful women, they're judged on how they look as they enter.

    While the preach about greed, they dine on Wagyu beef and wear clothes that cost as much as a car.

    While they support all the illegal Dreamers, uuuum, I really have no idea what that has to do with awards for movies=)

    While speaking of gun violence, the security is through the roof, armed with ahem...loads of guns.

    Speaking of gun violence, the majority in that room made a lot of money off movies revolving around the violence that guns do.

    Kimmel while making fun of Trump, forgot how he demeaned women in his early career=)

    And it seems any white people being nominated should be ashamed of themselves, especially males.

    And why is their STILL an award for foreign film, when there is no such thing as an award for best American film in any awards shows that don't take place in Hollywood?

    AND...you wouldn't even think any white people make movies anymore if you look at who's doing all the introductions. Its as if Hollywood is mostly women and minorities, hehe.

    ...I'll stop there because its still going...I just love Hollywood=)

    I boycotted the Oscars and Hollywood in general a couple of years ago.

    Oh look, the trolls have awoken. Care to contribute or debate or deny, or just break forum rules like you do daily? Sorry, you can't use the term triggered. We invented that **** for YOU=) Therese a mini doc playing right now about how the time of white guys making movies in Hollywood need to come to an end...and I quote and paraphrase, "We're here(Minorities and women), its TIME, and some of you just have to get used to it..." Like I said in the OP, white guys need to be ashamed of themselves for simply being white guys, because enough is enough. Time to take a back seat now, because as a white male, you're either racist, a bigot, or got where you are simply on your color. Thats funny because thats exactly why certain movies are being made now. If your'e female or black or an immigrant, you DESERVE that job, because a bunch of white guys didn't give shots to some people before you were ****ing born. You were never actually discriminated against, but those before you possibly were, so YOU, due to NOTHING special or extraordinary, will be given that job, because you are female, or gay, or brown or whatever....as long as you're not white and male.

    Yeah, because its not like the reason there are and were a whole bunch of white guys making movies is because MOSTLY white guys wanted to make movies and were and the most skilled at doing it. Just like in tech, video games and every other industry white guys happen to be successful at. No AA, scholarships or special treatment for your average white guy. He needs to just step aside and give others a shot=)
