All these “Aren’t we great!” awards shows are just a political platform now.

I understand the angst here against Hollywood and the Oscars. I decided not to watch it last night because I didn’t want to hear the Leftist political dribble. Otherwise I would have watched it as I usually generally enjoy it if the host is decent and not obnoxious.

I was attending a friends first ever Oscar party. I suggested a drinking game where every time politics were mentioned we had to take a sip of our drink. Good thing no one went for that idea, or none of us would have made it to work this morning!

This is the kind of attention Hollywood lives for, be assured they weren’t bothered in the least by the award fumble. As for Warren Beatty and Faye, it will be something to actually remember them for which is more than they had before last night.

The Governor’s Ball at the Whitehouse was last night. He didn’t watch it live. Probably little pieces like many people.

Why give Hollywood attention? They're not worth my time, let alone that of the POTUS.

“We can’t win elections, but we CERTAINLY can give each other awards! Oh, wait.”
