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.

Can image how it went down....16 year old kid goes to casting call for Doogie Hauser and wins the position by laying on the casting couch. It’s a disease. And it’s self perpetuating

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.

Same with music. Even (some) new country music has gone pop with boy band types. The beauty of music before videos was rugged guys like Johnny Cash and Hank Williams Sr. (and Jr. ). Until they got famous no one knew what they looked like. Now they wouldn't get a look see unless they had ‘video looks’

You are exactly right my friend. People like Ellen Degenerate and Neil Harris are mentally ill and nowhere near normal. BTW - Powers Booth was always one of my favorite actors.

His portrayal of Jim Jones was exceptional.

They have a boy and a girl.

He`s a FAG

He`s a FAG, and it`s a sad state of affairs that he is allowed and in fact encouraged to be out front in the spot light.

He is a terrible example for anybody.Am sure you agree, at least I hope.
