My wife and I used to really enjoy the Oscars, when the show was about movies. Before they started giving pompous political speeches and insulting ordinary Americans. But, Hollywood doesn’t seem to get that we just don’t give a damn about that and that’s why nobody is watching their shows.
I think Vanessa Redgrave started it off in 1977 when she got on stage and bashed Israel. I remember when I was a kid in the 1970s the Oscars was a huge thing on TV, my mom and Aunt would have parties the day it broadcast and then we had to guess who the winners would be. Today at 83 she wants nothing to do with it.
I used to love them. Had wonderful snacks & it was a huge deal. I haven’t watched in at least 5 years. If you had told me that the Oscars would die out I would have laughed.
They’re done.
It used to be that the Oscars were entertaining. Movie clips, songs, pretty girls in slinky dresses.
They forgot that what we want is entertainment.
