Are the Oscars Finally Ready to Embrace Porn?

It is no secret that the Oscars are decided upon by a coastal cabal of predominantly old white men who dictate their emails. That’s why male vets, attractive young women, and sentimentalist fare like Green Book keep taking home the gold. The Academy that votes on the Oscars is also comprised of people in Hollywood who are total suckers for self-worship. In the last decade alone, three films celebrating Tinseltown have won Best Picture—including Argo, wherein an aging Hollywood producer joins forces with the CIA to rescue diplomats during the Iran hostage crisis.

One industry that Hollywood has always viewed with disdain, however, is porn.

Yes, despite being the epicenter of the #MeToo movement, Hollywood has long seen the adult film industry as the height of debauchery. They’ve been exiled to the San Fernando Valley, their wildly popular stars almost never cross over into the mainstream, they aren’t invited to parties, and whenever a Hollywood celebrity romances a porn star, they’re hidden from sight. Heck, the first-ever porn billboard in the heart of Hollywood was unveiled just last month.

How about they at least recognize horror films first?

LOL! So the Oscars are now going to honor the films that people actually watch?

Or, comedies... science fiction... action/adventure...

Let’s face it, Academy Awards are for acting-vehicle dramas ONLY. It’s absurd the way.

I never saw a porn movie that appeared to be longer than five minutes.

They did a couple years back.

“Get Out” was nominated for several awards. Probably because a Black man was being victimized by evil White People(hope I didn’t ruin the movie for you).

I thought the porn industry had their own awards. (So I heard. (From an acquaintance.))

How large is your sample size? You often patronize "adult" movie theatres?

Sure thing. They can hand out anatomically correct Oscars too.

It’s not like Hollywood has any class anymore anyway.

Not sure about porn, but I’m looking forward to the inevitable day when a trans wins Best Actress Oscar - as the other actress nominees clench their teeth and put on a phoney show of support!

I lost all interested, to include which actre-whore wore the most revealing dress, a couple of decades ago.

Well, considering what are now considered mainstream films would have once only been shown in the “dirty movie” theater not so long ago ... I guess they consider tye pen industry to be a legitimate competitor.

Is there any difference between the way regular female movie stars dress for awards ceremonies and how female porn stars dress?

There is a deeper joke in my sentence…but I think you are a little too judge mental to laugh.

Back in the late 70s or early 80s, a few copies of those movies wound up in a few schools by mistake but we’re caught before being shown to the kids.

Some people in a videotape room who made duplicates of educational shows made copies of their stuff too.

Hello, this takes me back to Daisy in The movie Bowfinger script.....

...these new hot scenes, the ones in which Daisy exposes her breasts...
...will increase sales in Thailand.

Daisy agreed to this?

That is the case, although I haven't talked to her.

- Baby.
- Hi.
Hello.
"A vixen in stretch pants.
"What man wouldn't want a hot virgin?"

You'll do this?

If I have to. If it's for the movie, and you really want me to.
If it's artistic and says something about reality...
If it's in character and for the scene...
