All those award shows are toxic to me because of the way these self-important bozos use the time they should be graciously accepting their awards and thanking people to instead pontificate on their political cause of the day.

This is not tolerated in normal society.

When I was honored as a high achiever at an annual meeting of branch offices around the country, I thanked all my co-workers and clients who helped make my achievement possible, made a couple of light-hearted jokes about some of the things that happened to me the previous year and walked off the stage.

I did not insult my company by using my time to say what was on my mind politically.

Why do these Hollywood people think they are so important and so special that they can use their time in that way? And even if they actually were so special and important, it still displays a total lack of class.

Last year, I was tuning in for the late night news and the Emmys were still running. They had given the award for Comedy to The Marvelous Mrs. Maizel, a favorite show of hubby and me. The 2 main actresses got up, with the rest of the cast behind them, and told all the people in the audience, there and at home, that it was a mistake to give them the award. It should have gone to Fleabag.

The look on the faces of the other actors behind them was interesting, as they tried not to show their disapproval.

I really liked that show, not only for the characters; but, the period in which it takes place, 50's/60's. It is interesting to see the clothing and hairstyles, etc. from that period. But, I don't know if I can watch it anymore knowing that the main actress seems to think I'm watching the wrong show.
