I too am happy that leftists are pissed, but I still couldn’t care any less about Hollywood or their award shows.
Even for the apolitical, I just don’t understand the appeal of caring whether a movie that you had enough interest to see wins an award. At least with sports, the team of mercenaries ostensibly represents a city or university that you have some affiliation with, but with movies, I’d have to have a personal relationship with one of the actors up for an award to care at all.

It’s the same with radio stations reporting the weekend’s top 10 box office draws.
Unless you invested in the movie or studio, what does it matter to anyone?
Do listeners hear the box office #1 film and say “I won! I chose the ‘right’ film”?
