Let’s just cancel the Oscars

Hollywood is in a tizzy about what to do about next year’s Oscars. If the ceremony goes on as planned, everything about it is going to remind us of the Pervnado that has left Tinseltown reeling...

The next Academy Awards needs a big, bold statement. A true Hollywood ending to rescue them all. And one obvious solution presents itself: It’s time to cancel the Oscars...

Instead of holding the Oscars, Hollywood should declare March 4, 2018, a day of atonement and announce that every guilty person in the industry, including every perverted male filmmaker preying on women and potted plants, and every member of the industry who remained silent because they didn’t want to jeopardize their chances of being cast in the next “X-Men” movie, will be spending the weekend in quiet contemplation. Instead of swathing themselves in Armani and Bulgari, they can stay home and take a knee. Instead of lining up to get into the Governor’s Ball and the Vanity Fair party, they can think about how to be better people and start turning their minds to the big follow-up Oscar ceremony in 2019...

Why are there still separate categories for Best Actor and Best Actress? Don’t the Oscar people feel gender is fluid?

Cannot wait for the trannies to start taking awards from the real men and women. Then you'll see their true colors and that all this "support" was mere lip service.

FTA: a day of atonement and announce that every guilty person in the industry, including every perverted male filmmaker preying on women and potted plants

HA!

C.J.: They sent me two turkeys. The most photo-friendly of the two gets a Presidential pardon and a full life at a children’s zoo. The runner-up gets eaten.

Bartlet: If the Oscars were like that, I’d watch.

[RooRoobird20]

......or they could nominate and award 11 Oscars to “Beauty and the Beast”. It’s a gorgeous, sweet and grand movie, no BS preaching either.

I’d be okay with that.

What,exactly,is a trailer house slob?

.

[Toespi]

How will the female red carpet walkers dress? Will they continue to wear nothing left to the imagination except explicit sexual innuendo? Designed for attention at all cost and of course, an invitation to a casting couch.

I do believe some “genderqueer” actress (it has girl parts) actually made that point vis-a-vis the emmys. She’s on Showtime’s show “Billions” IIRC.

[fieldmarshaldj]

“Billions.” Ah, yes, the show that probably turned me off faster than any I’ve ever seen, that being when the dominatrix pissed on Paul Giamatti in the opening scene. Ick.

[doug from upland]

There should be people protesting outside wearing masks of the perverts.

[SaraJohnson]

His mocking tweets help a lot in kicking the media and hollyweird.

[American in Israel]

Two couples of trailer house slobs come to mind immediately, Bill and Hillery from the Arkansas, and the Obamas.

Both lived a trailer trash lifestyle in the white house.

(((shakin’ mah head)))

[EveningStar]

Probably.

[EdnaMode]

All award shows are pointless. They are overly political, studios campaign for awards, and there are too many good performances (especially in television) being snubbed every year.
