This would be a step up.

Seems to me that awards shows violate the spirit of the new “woke” generation. They should just hand out participation trophies to anyone remotely involved with a movie production last year and be done with it.
Hollywood is all one big offending tweet
Barbra Streisand and Harrison Ford on the set of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9tYZBLX2lA
A rough transcript of the video.
Barbra Streisand: “This is for Guns of Navarone!”
Barbra Streisand: “Guns of Navarone? No...”
Harrison Ford: “For Force Ten...”
Barbra Streisand: “For Force Ten!” (Ed. note: She mean FORCE 10 FROM NAVARONE not GUNS OF THE NAVARONE.)
Barbra Streisand: “This is for Hanover Street!”
Barbra Streisand: “This is for all the money you’re going to make on Return of the Jedi!”
Harrison Ford: “Who’s that?”
Carrie Fisher: “Someone who needs you!”
Irvin Kershner: “What the hell is the matter with you? Steve! Come on! I don’t believe one word you’re saying. Now come on, do it again.”
Barbra Streisand: “Give me a reason!”
Harrison Ford: “It’s the dialogue!”
Carrie Fisher: “Can I change lines?”
Irvin Kershner: “Listen.”
Carrie Fisher: “Yeah?”
Irvin Kershner: “I want you to believe what you are doing!”
Carrie Fisher: “Okay.”
Irvin Kershner: “You call that shouting? You call that pain?”
Harrison Ford: “Steven…”
Irvin Kershner: “Steve, how can you let him do this? Come on!”
Harrison Ford: “Okay ready... ready.”
Carrie Fisher: “I’ll be good, I promise.”
Irvin Kershner: “Do it again!”
Harrison Ford: “Really hit me! Really hit me this time!”
Barbra Streisand: “Okay.”
Harrison Ford: “Don’t do it with such... really hit me!”
Barbra Streisand: “I feel like a faggot...”
Good one. Guess who won’t be getting an invite to host the Oscars...
If there was true diversity in the movie industry, “foreign films” wouldn’t be segregated to one category and there would be foreign actors up for nominations in numerous categories including lead performances and direction.
Hollywood needs to get on the bandwagon.
Song sales are no longer actually tallied by sales.
If a song is streamed 150 times, that is counted as a sale.
If a bank of computers streams your tracks all day, all week, all month. You are a platinum artist. So Ed Sheeranout did the Beatles and had a dozen songs in the “top 20” because of “streams” and Drake became a platinum artist with ZERO sales (he reached the count before the album was released for sale).
Best actor award should go to the actor with the most twitterbots, regardless if he put a movie out.
Now all we have to do is get them to go without the awards
No one is gay enough, or communist enough?
Just Fed-Ex them their statues, drop a “press release” to the media, and be done with it...nobody cares.
They should ask Harvey Swinestein to host. Everyone already knows the bad stuff and ratings would be through the roof just for curiosity.
ANd just think of the comments he could make “I remember her when....”
Try going without a show
Just don’t have a show. Quietly hand out the awards and announce them on page D15 of the Sunday NY Times. No statements, no politics, nada.
This would be a step up.
Use an NPC.
They can’t find anyone willing to do it.
Bwah hah hah hah hah!
Harvey Weinstein could do the show and ‘out’ stars who got to the top by putting out for guys like him... It would help explain why the movies are crap and the stars hate Republicans and Christians....
he should have stuck to his guns- yeah, i said it, and so what? The comment he made about not wanting his son to be queer, he just spoke the truth.
Last that I saw it was when I was in college. My parents were watching. Hearts and Minds got an award. When the acceptance speech was made, my parents heard me cuss a blue streak. I almost killed the television.
Classy!
I’m shocked that they haven’t invited BillnHill to do the honors. :P
