Get woke go broke?
I highly recommend Drive My Car. Although the relationship between the protagonist and his wife is a little twisted due to the death of their child, I found it highly engrossing.
I will not be watching tonight. Wanda Sykes?! Amy Schumer?!
Is Don't Look Up a comedy or a drama?!

...“King Richard”: a stirring sports movie lifted by a bravura Will Smith performance!I cannot stand Richard Williams or Serena Williams in real life. Why would I go see a biopic featuring them?!

The Oscars are declining because more and more normal people don’t care about Hollyweird.

I liked The Gentlemen. Wouldnt win any Oscars but it held my attention but I like offbeat things. I had never watched the series Medium with Patricia Arquette but that also keeps me entertained..kind of creepy, weird, etc.

Oscars? As in wieners, the Meyers type?

Just before the Trump rally last night I was watching a made for tv movie from 1985 “Reunion at Fairborough.” It was free on youtube, staring Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr. Good movie.

Negative - it’s just that Hollywood can’t make a really good movie any more. There are other media producers, even indies, that can make good movies. It’s just like music - the Hollywood media empires can’t put out anything good, but there’s plenty of good new music out there. Just not from them.

Movies will still be made but their dominance they once held in the culture is over. A big chunk of the reason is the internet. Wokeism is another big chunk. Movies are no longer bigger than life and the stars are no longer glamorous. When you begin to feel superior to them a lot of the magic just evaporates.

Probably that good movies are too expensive to make nowadays. People with the money to throw around rather steal elections than make good movies.

Good. Except taking my daughter to a few kids movies when she was young, I have not been to the movies since 2000 and have no intention of returning. Wanted to see Ford vs Ferrari but waited until it came to TV.
Last time i watched the Oscars, the Exorcist was up for best picture.

Will the press announce the winners somewhere? I’ll need to avoid that a well.

I call B.S.
There are thousands of great movies, and Series on streaming services.Amazon, Netflix, Hulu etc.
If the Oscars are what you still define as the only entertainment source that's on you.
TCM was mentioned in this thread. Another great source of commercial free movies. Made by Hollywood for the most part. Find what you like. It’s out there.
