Awards given to movies we don’t watch announced by people we don’t care about.

A headline says the Oscars might focus on gun control. It us about time hollywood stopped making movies glorifying guns and killing ... Movies that teach kids this is normal behavior. (but I bet their focus is on more such movies so the killing can continue to give Democrats a political fake political issue).

Entertainment/media types glorifying entertainment/media types. I will never watch.

Oh, are the Oscars on tonight?

Can’t watch, I’m afraid.

I’ll be cleaning my litter boxes.

I used to enjoy watching the Oscars back in the 90s. Back then, we actually watched the movies that were nominated so we felt like we had some skin in the game. And the films were good! Today, the only movies that people see in massive numbers are Star Wars and comic book films and they'll never be nominated for anything other than technical awards. The Big Six awards go to arthouse films that make pennies in the box office. Hollywood no longer makes films like Goodfellas, Silence of the Lambs, Pulp Fiction, Braveheart, that Americans flll theaters to see and get nominated for awards.

Twenty years ago a massive 57 million Americans watched James Cameron proclaim himself "King of the World!" as the movie we all loved (but told everyone we hated) cleaned up.

Last year, a mere 37 million Americans watched a sorrowful, mournful, Hollywood, dressed for a funeral and despondent over Hillary's loss miff their lines delivering the Best Picture award. This year, I predict even fewer numbers.

FWIW, we used to have great 1000+ post live threads here on FR as well on Oscar night. A long time ago.

Watch yet another episode of the mutual admiration society? I don’t think so. I will be watching some paint dry.

Good question. I don't and haven't for more years than I care to count. Oscars = boring times 10.

I think maybe the last Oscars I even cared about was when "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" won in 1975, but that's only because I was still a young, foolish girl and had a crush on Michael Douglas. The crush has long since dissipated with the coming of maturity.

Hmmm...43 years since I last gave a damn about the Oscars. Not a single solitary thing has improved in Hollyweird since that time.

hmmm....I bought a pile of DVDs for$5 each, I’m reading a medieval historical fiction, an antenna TV station is airing Touched By An Angel and Columbo. I haven’t simplified Trig Identities for awhile, for relaxation. Why would I watch that Hollywood hatefest when there are so many excellent choices?

If you really insist on supporting Hollywood for some reason, your 3+ hours would be far better spent just watching a couple of the movies that have been nominated. I stopped by a RedBox last night, but The Darkest Hour was out. I guess others had the same idea.

Why Does Anyone Watch The Oscars Anymore?

Doesn't interest me. Also, I cut the cord.

Because nobody cares to watch a bunch of smug, narcissistic, egotistic, pretenders strut around spewing their brainless pap all the while thinking that they have something to say.

I don’t, never have, never will. Why watch drug ridden, mentally challenged, irresponsible, individuals show off their vanity.
