A boycott pre-assumes you’ve ever partaken of the product in the past.

Sorry, I can’t participate in the boycott.

It has been about at least decade since I’ve bought a movie ticket for a major motion picture though.

Saving Private Ryan may be the last one except for Dinesh D’Souza’s America

So if I don’t watch does it count?

I don’t watch ANY award shows or go to movies (haven’t in years) and also email my listserve all the time to boycott many things.
Further, all these so-called Christian themed movies are just Hollywood’s way of pandering to the right and conservative individuals. Latest being,The Shack.
Forget boycott the Oscars..boycott Hollywood.

This academy award ceremony will be the pinnacle of the anti Trump hysteria and posturing. Reminds me of what Orwell described in his novel “1984”. The state staged organized rituals known as “two minutes of hate” to motivate and control the population. Imagine the Democratic poodle Colbert exciting and priming the pliable bejeweled and elegantly dressed vapid attendees with vicious anti Trump hateful dialogue. Then they project a large picture of Trump on a huge screen. The crowd goes frantic, screaming and throws objects ( but not their jewels), at the screen. After two minutes the image comes down and the crowd sits.

I don’t think they care much.
It’s for them, by them and of them.

Me, I hope the red carpet gets over-run with Colobus monkeys that grab their haute-coture pussies.

I “boycott” every year.
I’m not sure the hollywood fans that generally waste their time gushing over these narcissists are smart enough to boycott.

Will do with pleasure!

These people hate our country and want to see it’s downfall.

Hence, why their fear, self-loathing and sexually confused people like Jodie Foster worries about 1/10,000 of a single percent of the entire population. To this medicated parrot this is her number 1 issue.

What’s funny though is that when you reach out to this tiny segment of society and ask how they feel about this issue. Almost all of them do not feel discriminated. This is a made up issue in other words. It’s a fake issue, but that does not stop old Hollywood actors from playing the political card.

I would not be surprised if the old hag Jodie was not trying to land a roll in an upcoming movie.

Jodie Foster supports and enables a pedophile industry. Make a speech about that, you perverted hag.

I can't recall the exact year I stopped watching their self-centered spectacle but Steve Martin was the emcee.

That fat, ugly pig, Michael Moore won an award for his stupid film "Bowling for Columbine" and went on to make an ugly inflammatory speech against GWB being an illegitimate president etc." (Sound familiar?)

I remember turning off the awards only to come back at the end to see the "best picture" award, (Chicago) and sure enough, when the Neilsen's came out, that Academy Award's show was the lowest rated.


I WILL NOT WATCH THE CHANNEL AT ALL TOMORROW!

TOTAL BLACK OUT!

I won't be watching but I refuse to boycott. Here are some of the sold out sponsors of the ABC telecast this year whom I also refuse to boycott even though I hardly use any of their products.

Academy Awards broadcaster ABC has sold out of advertising slots during the ceremony, it confirmed to CNBC.com via email. Ad spots are said to cost as much as $2.5 million per 30-second spot, and brands including Adidas, Stella Artois, AT&T, GM, Hyatt, McDonald's, Samsung, Verizon and Walmart are set to advertise during the ceremony.

I’m an American. I have nothing in common with any of those jackasses. Their “American values” are completely the opposite of my American values. I love America. I do not hate America.

I don’t pay for cable, and don’t watch TV shows or newfangled movies.
I do have TVs outfitted with DVD and VCR players.
Local library has lots of classic OLD movies obtainable with a library card.
Thrift shops, yard sales...there are 1000s of OLD movies that are actually worth seeing available.

Who needs to look at today’s no-talent blowhards, in movies that are pure trash? I’ll take Jimmy Stewart over Johnny Depp any day.

For the most part, Hollyweird doesn’t even produce good movies anymore, or produce interesting personalities. The actors, actresses, directors, etc. are all so boring now. The industry is overrun with hacks, yet there they are every year, giving each other awards for excellence. The background folks (composers, art directors, etc.) may still deserve awards for great work. In any event, I haven’t watched the Oscar show since the 1980s or whenever Billy Crystal was hosting.
