Yes and the Oscars hand out $100,000 swag bags to the nominess....maybe donate that to charity. These people make multiples of what wall st execs make and provide nothing to society. I would watch but have no interest in their lectures.
OT: The Oscars are tonight.

And how about Casey Affleck? Was his performance better than Chris Affleck's?
This thread is hilarious. Numerous posters have said they won't watch because of all the lecturing, all the while lecturing the actors about charity.
14 points of Fascism. Keep this handy.

FACISM:
This is a poster from the Washington Holocaust museum.
I never watch these award shows, but the best part is reading all the hysterics and whining by folks on message boards and twitter.
Who cares what some pompous rich JO has to say about politics? These same people voted for a "billionaire" reality TV star....

At least the Oscar nominations have much greater diversity this year than they have the past couple. The last two years the Academy Awards reminded me of the crowd at Penn State's "white-out" game (or any other home game in State College, for that matter).
My wife has this crap on. Tell the ass wipe from Iran to leave the Oscar at the door. And too all the d-bag stars who applauded his note, I hope they get to go to Iran and suffer like the folks there do!!
Well, the Oscars are over and I haven't watched yet because I'm still at work, but La La Land was slated to win a bunch. My problem with the movie is just that it wasn't really all that good. No memorable songs, the leads couldn't dance (or sing very well), and the production numbers were terrible at the beginning and so - so throughout. I'd give it about a 6.
As to the Academy being liberal? Of course it is. Same as the rest of the arts. And the sciences. You guys got Chachi, Ted Nugent, and the Duck Dynasty Guy. And your scientists are mostly that doctor who wrote all those novels who died not too long ago. And I think Gopher from Love Boat is a Republican. So you're good.
I love movies, so I watch the Oscars. Timberlake killed it in the opening song and Kimmel has been pretty funny and I would say gently political - and the speeches have been mostly apolitical, with a few exceptions. I doubt the righties on the board would have their panties in a bunch over this telecast, if they were watching instead of whining. Hidden Figures was my favorite of the nominated films.
Shirley MacLaine. Alright, maybe not. Emma Stone looks pretty awesome as does Nicole Kidman.
I'd be angry too if my wife dictated what I watched and didn't let me get a second TV. Emasculating!
I got half way through Manchester and had to quit it. I watched Hacksaw Ridge last night and it was just ok - a war film with usual formulas (the girlfriend, the mean drill Sargent etc). No desire to see the other films. Maybe La La Land sparks some new musicals. Most H'wood films today are just baskets of formulas. They stopped understanding people and good stories a long time ago.
Sitting in the same room a**hole working on the computer. You know "working' something that is probably foreign to you judging by your number of posts. Lonely down there in the basement. Guess no one likes sitting in a room with you, so sad. Trust me I'm sure I have more Tvs than you. Next time type with both hands out of your pants.
R.I.P. Bill Paxton--will always be Fred Haise in Apollo 13 to me.
Not watching the Oscars as I'm at work and probably wouldn't if I could. I always say that you can always tell if a R or a D is in the White House by watching an awards show. If it's full of political jokes you can tell it's a R, if no political jokes it has to be a D.
Only saw one movie here, La La Land which I have to say I enjoyed but it doesn't hold a candle to the Hollywood musicals of the past.
Instead I went to see Kung Fu Yoga with Jackie Chan. Hilarious!!!!!
One thing. Dialogue in the movie was in both English and Chinese. When they spoke English there were Vietnamese subtitles. When they spoke Chinese there were both Vietnamese and English subtitles! Lots of words on the screen!!!!!

Watched 3 minutes of it and am so glad I did. If that doesn't epitomize Hollywood I don't know what does.
Complete imbeciles, top to bottom. That was better than every shitty movie they put x 2.

I think they gave Beatty the wrong envelope.... he said it had Emma stone, LaLa land on it.
the result for best actress....
he still must feel like crap if so
Yea definitely not his fault. His reaction before the announcement made it clear he was even very confused by what was going on. Poor guy
Jimmy Kimmel did a great job under the scenario, reference to Steve Harvey was spot on and hilarious.
Faye Dunaway pulling out some Joan Crawford.
But sometimes it makes you wonder if it was just a publicity stunt to get people talking and not just Faye and Warren given the wrong card

I got to believe they just made the mistake of handing him the best actress envelope.... if it was to be a publicity stunt, on purpose, it also is an embarrassment... which is not what you usually
want out of a stunt.... usually...... it is also done at the expense of the two people you send out
there to make the announcement..... not nice
Warren handed Faye a live grenade there...why didnt the producers step in immediately when the award was announced
Simple answer......it was those damn Russians!!! They were trying to fix the Oscars for
La La Land!!!
La La Land!!!
