If you like movies then the Oscars have a de facto interest. Are you amazed people like movies?
I’m 38. I’ve never watched the academy awards.
I just follow the FR Thread, figured it’s much more entertaining than the real thing.
The gays already have the Tony Awards, can’t they leave the rest alone?
I saw the erosion of quality then and I knew it would get to this lowest of points eventually.
Immorality leads the nation.
Do you like cinema in general? Only 4 Oscars go to actors. The rest go to craftsmen and technicians.
American Sniper breaks all box office records.
Good.
Fewer and fewer people watch the oscars.
Good.
Good and good.
Apparently so was Patrick...
Evidence that the crisis in the US is diminishing?

Do these people understand the concept of there being a time and a place for everything?
There is a time and a place, a more private place, for Doogie Howser to strut his stuff. I would submit that an awards show on national television is not the time or place for a nearly nude Doogie Howser. I guess I’m just not liberal enough to understand the appeal of him doing this.
I do, but the Academy is politicized and prejudiced and I think too often the awards are tainted by it.
Would it be impolite to say,"Obama's fault?"
At 46 I haven’t seen them yet...
It takes them 3 hours to tell me what I can find by spending 5 minutes on the Internet. Why would I want to watch some liberal BS for that long? No thank you. Besides half the crap that “wins” is crap liberals like, not the American public.
You expect liberals to think?
I saw some of it because the other channels were worse. When the guy started prancing in his underwear I turned the dammed thing off. Nothing but hypocritical political correctness.
The Oscars show was on last night?
They just need Kanye West to jump on stage and deliver a rant.
That will perk things up.
