> Compared to men, in most professions, women make 80 cents to the dollar,” Oscar-winner Natalie Portman said last month. “In Hollywood, we are making 30 cents to the dollar

Hmm. She has lied and said she could speak 5 languages fluently in the past when it was really only two (the other three she only learned conversational phrases for vacation trips and filming overseas). I wonder If that ratio (if true) is the same with better actresses like Scarlett Johanssen, Angela Jolie, and Jennifer Garner? Bet not...

Those who are up and coming all have empty heads, those who are veterans, the women have hit the wall and are now attention whores the men have lost their balls and all of them pick their personnel favorite and go back to their mansions on the hill far from the commoners. These hypocrites and politicians are one in the same

In George Orwell’s novel “1984”, he describes a ritual that the state used to motivate and control party elites to do its bidding. There was the “two minutes of hate” exercise. A portrait of the state’s enemy was displayed on a screen and the party elite would scream, and throw objects at the screen working themselves into a frenzy and emotional catharsis. Can just imagine that Democratic poodle Colbert priming his vapid bejeweled, coiffured and well dressed assembled deviants with his anti Trump monologue. Then if some wily technician projected an image of Trump on the big screen, Orwell’s two minutes of hate would happen. America is badly divided and not far from overt violence.

Here's the thing though: Will AMPAS allow host Jimmy Kimmel, the presenters and the Oscar winners to be "political"?

And with good reason: everyone fears that a blatant anti-Trump speech will spark a massive backlash by moviegoers that will result in a major "de facto" boycott during the most profitable part of the year for moviegoing, the "blockbuster" season from the beginning of May to Labor Day. I think under pressure from the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and the National Association of Theatre Owners (NATO), AMPAS will "muzzle" everyone on-stage out of this very fear.

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to tune in. I have a schedule conflict, cleaning the cat box takes priority.

Tonight is going to be the greatest Academy Awards ever!

Looking forward to wealthy, privileged, beautiful Hollywood libs foaming at the mouth over how Donald Trump is ruining their lives. I want to hear woeful, tear-drenched lamentations from everyone on that stage tonight! Bonus points if they drag their soon-to-be-deported Mexican housekeepers with them.

President Trump, "Making Oscars Great Again!"

When will Hollywood finally stop the hateful and discriminatory tradition of bestowing awards based on gender?

Oh the humanity.

Cleaning the cat boxes, though a far more intellectually stimulating activity than watching the Oscars, does not take nearly enough time. I intend to binge-watch the entire season of “Last Man Standing”, just to see how the Tool-Man deals with life in 2017.

Non-event

I hope people bypass this show and all their movies.

Actress Jennifer Lawrence’s pay for American Hustle was seven percent of the movie’s profit, while her male co-stars, Bradley Cooper and Christian Bale, earned nine percent.

There is a solution, get a better agent.

“Remember the Access Hollywood audiotape wherein Trump was heard boasting he had grabbed women where you’re not supposed to grab anyone?”

I never listened to that tape. Did he brag that he had actually grabbed women, or did he brag that there were women out there willing to be grabbed?

Here is what Trump said

Trump: “I’ve gotta use some Tic Tacs, just in case I start kissing her. You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything.”

Unknown, but apparently Bush: “Whatever you want.”
Trump: “Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything.”

Why aren’t they calling the Oscar statue sexist because it’s male??

David Letterman's hosting the Oscars in 1994 always gets ridiculed but he had one shining moment. As he was introducing Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins he quipped "Pay attention, I'm sure they're pissed off about something."

No wonder he was never invited back.

Despite all of the Hollywood lies and anti-America rhetoric, sadly, there are conservatives, even among FReepers, who will watch this garbage. There are FReepers who still support Hollywood by going to their movies and watching their trashy television shows.

It will be the lowest-rated Oscars, ever.
