Tune it out. Walk your dog. Play Scrabble. Reread the Constitution or Russell Kirk. Watch reruns of "Matlock." Anything but that.

I boycott by the fact that I have no idea when they take place, and dont care.

My family is in show business. We haven’t watched it in ten years.

Way ahead of you, bro.

I've tuned out The OsKKKars for at least 20 years.

I never watch this self-congratulatory production. Under educated people pretending to be other people for millions of dollars patting themselves on the backs for all of it and delivering their political views disguised as a big thank you. No, thanks.

I haven’t watched the Oscars in over 20 years.

I will, however, be interested how that fake ghetto, down-with-the-struggle Chris Rock balances his position between all the pissed off blacks and black actors (who get rich off said blacks), and the Hollywood that gives Chris the butter for his bread. Personally, I think he’s sweating bullets right now trying to figure out what to do. Money and fame is a powerful thing. But you need the Hollywood machine behind you for the game and ‘fame’.

I always do.

I don’t believe I’ve ever watched one.

I haven’t watched it in 20+ years. It’s just a marketing ploy.

Agreed. Haven’t watched them in years. In 2004, I purposely went to go see “The Passion of the Christ” during the annual Oscars airing as an intentional slap to Hollyweird.

So do I have to hook cable back up to accomplish this or can I just keep on ignoring Hollywierd on my principles while still being oblivious and apathetic ?

I haven’t watched The Oscars in twenty years. Won’t be breaking that streak this weekend. It’s going to be a Leo-love-fest.... and I’m sure he will use the occasion to spout off about global warming.

I haven’t payed any attention to Oscars in 20 years. I couldn’t tell you who won what and really and truly don’t care.

I don’t care if Sira Smiley got an award and Rusty Beaver got an award and Bouncy and her husband Icetray missed out.

I.
Don’t.
Care.

The last oscars I watched was in the Bugs Bunny cartoon “What’s Cookin’ Doc?” I was pretty good. (Spoiler: James Cagney won)

The Oscars, the Emmys, the Grammies, and all the other awards shows are not harmless diversion. They’re part of a concentrated effort to trash culture, and turn the population into frenzied zombies who cannot think for themselves or develop an appreciation of cultural excellence.

I have boycotted them for the last 30 plus years and the movies themselves for at least the last 8.

I’ve been boycotting the Oscars for two decades — due to the fact that they are so incredibly banal and boring.
