The academy awards became tedious about 30 years ago.

Yeah, when Marlon Brando sent out that Little Feather woman to take his place.

I was just going to say, “BORING!”

Does anybody ever actually watch any of that stuff?

They’re nothing more than storytellers.

Well, I read that President Trump and the First Lady will be hosting a Governor’s Ball. Have not seen any thing else about this. Have any of y’all?

Saw Hacksaw Ridge, Fences, La La Land, from among the nominated films—and liked each. Saw Allied also.

Something I didn’t expect from my wife—”no more black movies for awhile.”

Nobody cares about the oscars - the oscars put people to sleep, make them yawn... They have record low ratings, the movie industry continues to experience record low revenue generating flims. The films that generate the most profit are conservative value films. Ha Ha - the left loses again.

Sounds like a great place for a massive all day Pro Trump rally. Kind of a reverse of the crybaby liberal daily fag fest of late.

I was thinking the same thing! Trump holding a kick ass rally during the Oscars would send an awesome message and certainly drive the libs insane.

Oscars, Grammys, Emmys...I don't know which is which or when they're held. No impact to my life at all.

Wonder how much their ratings will drop? Or there could be a lot of people who just like to watch a train wreck.

I think it’s Oscar Meyer Weiner they are celebrating, but I’m not sure.

I won’t be watching, as usual, but I’ll bet there will be some surprise endorsements of Trump. Even people as dumb as actors were able to see the huge increase in sales of her music for that singer who wore the “Make America Great Again” dress at a recent awards night.
