Blacks are 2-2 on awards so far... they’re gonna win another with Denzel. So, it will 3 of 4 major acting awards.

I guess that will stop all the #OSCARSOWHITE tweets

Then, go read... and stay off a thread you don’t care about.

I never understand “hate this” posters...

“A parade of self engrandizing empty heads who imitate other people for a living”

And in most cases they portray characters whom are of much more moral character than they have ever been in real life.

I caught the opening act with Justin Timberlake. He sure gave Jimmy Kimmel some dirty looks when it was all said and done. Not sure why. Maybe it was because Kimmel didn’t catch that mike that Timberlake threw at him. (Not sure why he threw it at him, either.)

That’s it, that’s all I watched of it...but I don’t watch any of those award shows. I haven’t seen any of the movies. I might catch a couple when they come out on Netflix or cable.

If you can make it through a few hours of the rudeness and conservative bashing right in your face, more power to you. I can’t.

I don’t watch these award shows because I think they’re overlong and boring. I just read about it the next day.

I think that comments like “Hollywood is a cesspool” and “Hollywood is the spawn of Satan” are very ignorant.

I did a Google Search, in past years the Oscars have showed every year a decline. They are way too far into themselves and built into their own fame more importance than they really are. They are the at the front of the world of FAKE...everything, they ACT. They pretend. WHY give them the time of day.

I don’t think Viola Davis said anything about Prez Trump in her speech...She thanked her family mostly...

I do. That’s a new TV. I’d smash it in five minutes.

Don’t know if I saw a movie in 2016.

If I want, I’ll watch one of them in a year when it’s free on Prime.

Got sick of walking out after 10 minutes cursing because of the politics.

“Blacks are 2-2 on awards so far... “

MAYBE they are deserving, or maybe the the voters are afraid of the backlash had they not.

I remember watching the Oscars in black and white, back in the days of Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire, The Three Stooges, Elizabeth Taylor, Ingrid Bergman, and all the rest of those wonderful stars.

But I haven't watched it for thirty or forty years.

NO.. she didn’t. And, she TOTALLY deserved her award. She was the best in that category, by far...

I wasn’t so enamored with Ali. He was just so-so.

Trust me....the dirty look was all part of the act.I

Viola Davis’ speech was pretty good. Not political.

Viola Davis did deserve it, for sure... She was amazing in Fences.

Ki,,el said that after that performance InSync may let him back in the band. It was a joke since JT left the band and not the other way around. The look was a staged anger as a comedy reaction to Kimmel. IMO

Who’s Oscar, and what’s he getting an award for?
