What is interesting/peculiar, is that they MUST give out awards EVERY year.

So in any given year they give out awards for Best Picure, Actor etc. etc.

There is no consideration of the quality of the film, against previous years. It’s only the current year. The best picture of 2020. The best of a pile of crap is still crap. And that is what we are presented with of late. Lousy films, winning awards from a pool of lousy films.

To my feeble mind the there should be a criteria that the film in question should be compared to other winners. Was the production/acting/scripe at the same level as previous winners? If the pool of films is so poor then they should not offer an award.

I worked with Kirstie during the filming of North and South parts I and II, and found her to have a head full of common sense. She and another actress carried my treatment bags when I made rounds treating horses used for the filming. She was also very humorous and a pleasure to be around.

We know Asians are NOT considered minorities in leftist orthodoxy. And neither are non-POC womyn.

So what would they do with Mulan (just an example - that bomb is going nowhere near an oscar)? Have the general be a black Chinese dude named “Antwan Kintubu-chen?”

Well, I don't know about anyone else, but I refuse to watch any movie which does not depict a Spanish-surnamed transgendered lesbian woman of color in a position of authority.

Their thinking:A bad movie would be a movie withe 55% Conservative/Evangelicals, a great movie would be one with no Conservative/Evangelicals and a BLOCKBUSTER would be when Conservatives/Evangelicals gets killed. 😋

Who the heck watches the Oscars? And who the heck cares about the Oscars? No one. The Oscars are a joke, a bore! They are ludicrous. They are perpetually offensive to normal people.

...telling Picasso what to put in his paintings....

The Soviets and now the Chinese Communists do enforce what shows fearless people’s Communist leaders favorably. That will be coming shortly if the Left wins in November.
How many feminist, blacks, climate change activists, portrayals of BLM struggles in heroic light-—will mean your “art” (music, theater , writing,films,TV) is not destroyed.

“When awards are given for participation instead of pure excellence, the event loses its appeal.”

I posted about this reality before.

For 3 years a grandson in the local little league baseball had great coaches and fellow players. They won the championship for 3 years.

The other coaches got the coaches apart and the good players on other teams.

The team our grandson ended up on, didn’t win a game.

Our grandson got a participation trophy. Later that day, we heard his sister tell him to throw that trophy away.

The next weekend they had a cul de sac and empty the garage/family room sell a thon.

He took his name off his participation trophy and stuck a $5 sticker on it and put it on the table in their driveway.

They had a bidding war, and the darn thing sold for $20.

He gave his sister $10 as her incentive.

Now, he laughs at the whole debacle and still thanks his sister.

Everything Hollywood puts out has been garbage for so long, most people know it, don’t they? So it’s like what’s going to win the garbage Oscar, the potato peels or the eggshells?

Let’s apply the same criteria to sports. Not enough Asians or Hispanics on basketball or football teams.

The good news from Fauci.

It may be more than a year before we can safely go to theaters, Fauci says!

Dr. Anthony Fauci has some very bad news for theater lovers.

In a recent Instagram Live chat with actress Jennifer Garner, the top coronavirus expert said it will most likely remain unsafe to sit in a theater until a year after a vaccine is released, according to TheatreMania.

“When are we going to be able to sit in a theater and watch our favorite performers up on stage again,” Garner asks Fauci in the interview.

“I think it’s going to be a combination of a vaccine that has been around for almost a year and good public-health measures,” he replied.

“If we get a really good vaccine and just about everybody gets vaccinated, you’ll have a degree of immunity in the general community that I think you can walk into a theater without a mask and feel like it’s comfortable that you aren’t going to be at risk,” Fauci said.
