The Oscars are expected to bring an onslaught of political commentary on Sunday from the Dolby Theatre stage in the wake of President Donald Trump’s election win.

In the year of “La La Land,” not everyone in Los Angeles is singing a happy tune.

Before arriving in LA, showbiz insiders told us the town’s been devastated by Trump’s win.

The Oscars are the most boring thing in the world. No, wait...watching Oscar winners spouting their inane personal political opinions heads the list. The only humorous grace is that these actors actually believe that their opinions carry weight.

Getting awards for their movies of re-writen Histories, Fantasy and Myth. Lets also include subliminal political propaganda. We are so tired of their whining, we won’t bother watching, what ever they do or get isn’t going to make the world any better. 5 years from now you won’t remember who got what, nor will you care. Actors have a need to feel important, and sometimes worshiped. As you get older you catch on.

It has been years since I have gone to a theater to watch a movie. and even longer to buy a DVD of a movie, and even more since I have downloaded a “flick” to watch on Amazon Prime or anything else.

We used to watch the Oscars every year but haven't in a very long time and we will not be watching this year either.

Like the NFL, the Academy Awards show has become one long, boring, PC, BLM, anti-American propaganda tool. Why waste time watching these people denigrate, despise and hate us along with their former fan base?

They also literally do not care if nonlibs don’t buy their products. It doesn’t seem to hurt them enough. Their hate is that strong.

It’s the leftist bubble they live in. They don’t realize they are in it, so they can’t step out of it.

[proud American in Canada]

You are so right.

Fed up with Hollywood cr*p.

[proud American in Canada]

You are right. The left has gone insane!

It’s the leftist bubble they live in. They don’t realize they are in it, so they can’t step out of it.

Sadly, at the moment I am also in their bubble and I can’t get out. Not as much fun if you are aware what a phony bubble it is.

I wish I watched the Oscars so by not watching it this year I might do something that shows up in their ratings. But I haven’t watched them since the 90s. When I was young each year you would wonder which of the great movies that came out would win. Then it got to the point where you wondered how embarrassing the choice of best picture would be.

[Jimmy Valentine]

Stopped watching long ago. A tedious festival of self aggrandizing twits

Yep - Gomer said that.
Goober said “Judy Judy Judy”

Bring it on, lotus eaters. I predict virtually no one will be watching, lowest ratings in ten years.

[Avalon Memories]

There was a time when Hollywood at least pretended to have class and glamor. Not so much anymore...

[LydiaLong]

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!!

That would be the funniest thing ever. Of course, they’d blame it on Trump.

I still haven’t seen Hacksaw Ridge. It’s on my Amazon lineup.

[cweese]

Or the Russians....

[ontap]

Who wants to watch a bunch of over compensated as$$holes pat themselves on the back!!

Sadly, at the moment I am also in their bubble and I can’t get out.

Actually, there IS life east of I5.
