Neil Patrick Harris opens the Academy Awards with an #OscarsSoWhite Joke [Vine]
Twitchy ^

So, how long would it take for somebody at tonight’s 87th Academy Awards to comment on lack of diversity among this year’s nominees?

Would you believe about 10 seconds?

Here’s host Neil Patrick Harris with a fake slip-of-the-tongue, “…we honor Hollywood’s best and whitest…”

We assume we’ll hear much more about this as the night progresses.

They both look like they hit the bottle regularly.

lack of diversity my a$$, there seems like there were more blacks involved than in past years. Its almost like the academy went out of their way to appease them. Oprah was there and at least 50 black presenters or performers so far...

I won’t hear any of . I never watch these types of shows. Can’t imagine anyone not paid to watch them actually watching them

Nothing more than a yearly convention for the Mutual Admiration Society.

I have a joke for Neil -

Q: How did the gaybar owner quadruple the seating capacity in his saloon?
A: He turned the barstools upside-down.

(Gay) Harris plays a Canova type - - -

That’s why the craft is called acting.

Which is to say whatever, whoever you are, if you portray a role in all believability, you are an excellent actor.

Yes, but he’s also gay so that negates the whiteness AND puts him at the top of the heap.

Since it’s the academy members that vote for the nominees to begin with why doesn’t he just call the actors in the audience racists instead of dancing around it like a faerie..........oops! patrick probably didn’t vote for Selma either and only might have if it was about a queer fighting for, I was going to say equality but they won’t be happy with anything less than being proclaimed superior because it rhymes with posterior.

Plus glory just won award and John Legend went on social justice rant.

Liked him as a performer prior to that, will now never listen to him again.

Yep - we saw Harris loose his bathrobe which got stuck in his dressing room door, coming back from an intermission.
So he kept walking to the stage in his briefs.
Of course someone could have thrown him a robe, but then there would not have been the underwear schtick.
Trouble is, it was not cute, sweet, funny, endearing etc etc. - it was STOOOPID.
And the briefs were so obviously stuffed with a sock or two - of course I looked ‘there-’ wasn’t that the point??!

Where were you all looking??!

Hope everyone heard Lady Gaga sing songs from the ‘Sound Of Music.’ She was terrific. I had never heard her sing - I’m not up to date with current pop culture - -
An then out walks Julie Andrews, whose eyes were dewey the entire time she was at the mic.
Some of you may know Andrews has had damage to her vocal cords for some years now - such a shame.
We can be thankful for all she gave us when her pipes were in mint condition.

How can a man look at another man sexually? I do not get that at all. I don’t understand the dyke thing either.

I am a woman and the sight of two women kissing makes me sick to my stomach.

Normal men want to make love to women, not engage in sodomy with other men. Normal women desire sex with men, not relations with other women.

This crap will never be normal.

Which is one reason why I love and adore Vic Morrow. He was very talented in front of AND behind the camera. He was a real man too unlike the current crop of girly men Hollywood likes to promote.

Are you familiar with the 60s show “Combat!”? He and the other actors were so good that you’d swear they were real-life soldiers in the U.S. Army.
