I thought they’d already had the Oscars about three times this year.

I never watch them anyway.

These are spoiled rotten idiots who play make believe for a living and are paid way too much for their fantasies...

Then they believe because they play make believe that they some how know more than everyone else about world events...

They are playing make believe about that too.

I’ve been kinda hoping that wikileaks would manage to get the list of the winners and publicize the results a couple of days before the actual show. Ruin it for all of them!!

So we have a bunch of people who make a living pretending to be someone else now pretending they know something about how to run a gov't? Precisely why I won't be watching them.

Nothing like watching a bunch of ungrateful, whining pigs in tuxedo's, huh?

I LOVE all this winning!

There are going to be a lot of tantrums from the snowflakes this year. I hope the sane people don’t tune in to this commie garbage. Everyone of these jackasses will be trying to out rant the others. Lots of immature silliness.

They have my permission to wax every bit as foolish as they are able. I won’t be watching, won’t read about it afterwards, and couldn’t care less.

Seriously.. not only will I not watch it because it’s political. I haven not seen one of the nominated movies.. there are a few I never even heard of. Why would anyone waste their time watching this crap. The funny thing is they are all screaming about the wall... but they all live in homes surrounded by walls and gates. It’s laughable.
