OK, I admit it. I didn't watch it. Intentionally. It is an insufferable spectacle of ego, self-righteousness, narcissism and one more outlet for brain dead liberal pontification. Nor was I planning to write anything about it until I hit one article.
Still, the post mortems are hilarious.
They do this (thankfully) once a year. Once. There was the predictable and expected Trump bashing. We learned that there is a new Axis of Weevils- between Tehran and Hollywood.
The Iranian government praised the makers of Oscar-winning movie "The Salesman" on Monday for boycotting the Hollywood awards ceremony in protest against U.S. President Donald Trump's travel ban on Iranians and people from six other countries.I really got a kick out of this:
Although U.S. courts suspended Trump's ban on people entering the United States from seven majority Muslim nations, Farhadi said he would not attend the Oscars, to make a political point against what he called the "oppressive travel ban".Which is immediately followed by:
Despite rigorous censorship by Iranian authorities, Iran's filmmakers....Once a year they do this and they still can't get it right.
There was the Steve Harvey moment- the epic failure of naming the wrong picture as the winner of the Oscar. The Academy also killed off a still-living producer. And they call Trump incompetent. The thing that pushed me to write was a statement by Viola Davis:
"I became an artist, and thank god I did because we are the only profession that celebrates what it means to live a life" #Oscars pic.twitter.com/SUkl30Ocqq—

Right. Those who spend their lives making believe they are someone else know what it means to live a life. My father was a WWII combat vet. I assert that he knew better than this pampered twit what it meant to live a life, and he's far from being the only one.
Let's see what it means to celebrate what it means to live the life of a celebrity.
For all the Oscar nominees, it means a gift bag. A very expensive gift bag- worth somewhere North of $100,000. Among the goodies:

Capitalism IS evil isn’t it. ;)
The Russians hacked the Oscars!
Based on what I have been able to gleam from history, Hollywood is running off the inertia created by the Hollywood glamor and magic of a bygone era. It is running on fumes. It started with the advent of television, then the glorification of the anti-hero and absurd realism, and then the full embrace of anything anti-American and anti-Christian.
A prime example of Hollywood’s leap into oblivion is the movie that won last night. From all reports, it is gutter filth.
I read the synopsis of it at Wikipedia. It is on my "Must Never See" list.
There is no way I would watch a bunch of self-absorbed rich people who are rich only because of their pretty faces.
They are our betters.
They deserved to be worshiped.........
The vast majority of Hollywood stars do not have a college degree, for example Warren Beatty and Emma Stone. According to them Trump supporters are the stupid ones.
But, but.. their all so very smart..!! /s
