The only awards shows you are free of this stuff is the country ones. And that might be changing because they have Snoop Dog handing out awards at the ACM
I’m thrilled when a plumber fixes a broken toilet... or a doctor a broken body. But I damn sure don’t want to spend hours watching a ‘Plumbers or Doctor’s Award Show’.
Same with Hollywood.
Movies are fine - but their awards shows are dreadful.
Could it be 66% of the Trump supporters that watch those shows, tune out? I don’t believe two thirds of us watch them.
“Only about a quarter of respondents on both sides of the political fence said their opinion about an issue has ever been changed by an awards show.”
I think that is bull...
I’ll bet it’s 5% or less

Why? Because if there's anything that Hollywood worships unabashedly, it's making money. And all those "political" speeches could turn off way too many moviegoers from watching the "tent pole" blockbuster films between May through August 2017. I think all the nominees have been warned by AMPAS Board of Governors NOT to do blatantly political speeches like what happened at the WGA awards presentation last weekend.
I don’t even turn them on. Flatulence-belching celebrities trading shiny objects with each other doesn’t do anything for me.
Just try getting up and giving a Pro-Life speech at the Oscars!
Or an anti-AGW talk.
Or a “Liberals, if you ‘Love Mother Earth’ please pick up your trash after you protest!” suggestion.
Awards Shows are only marginally worse that wasting your time watching “professional sports.”
“We have Netflix”
What? We have Netflix and their “on=line movies” are just a bucket of one and two star crap offerings. It takes patience to wade through their listings to find something that’s worthy of an hour and a half of our time. And for the most part, the actors are the same worthless bastards and bastardettes who give themselves “oscars.”
why bother watching at all...???
hollywood is a cesspool
the “stars” are pathetic hollograms of warped morality and ignorance
i also dont go to movies and dont pay for any on demand and could care less if hollywood fell into the pacific, along iwth the rest of moonbeam’s social disaster...
