However, snarly remarks are welcome for their entertainment value.
I think that one is a pretty safe bet to win.
I really don’t care, Hollywood can fall into the sea and I would not miss them or their crappy movies.
The only important Oscar is named Meyer and belongs on a grill.
I couldn’t care less.
I don’t think I’ve seen one movie mentioned in the list of categories (not even the new Star Wars film). I’m not one of those who avoids going to movies altogether, but I only see one to three a year on average. I do want to see “Hell or High Water,” and I have some slight interest in “Dr. Strange.” For those who watch a lot more than I, are any of the documentaries or documentary shorts nominated worth seeing?
I haven’t seen any of the movies, and if my library system doesn’t get DVDs I can check out for free, I won’t be seeing any of them. Movies today just are not worth $10.00+ per ticket (not to me anyway).
The Academy Awards held a certain level of interest, 35 years ago.
Arrival was not a very good movie, IMO. My Son & I saw it. It had a lot of promise but felt slow, flat & plodding to me.
‘Hacksaw Ridge’ is supposed to be pretty good, from what I hear...
I see for best actress
Meryl Streep, Florence Foster Jenkins
I can just imagine the political lecture we’ll get from her if she wins.
;)
The academy awards show is a circle jerk of self importance. That being said, I too have heard Hacksaw Ridge is an oscar worthy movie but will not win because it’s a Mel Gibson movie.
I haven't seen any of the others and don't intend to.
I also won't watch the Academy Awards broadcast. I haven't seen it in many, many years.
I went to Opryland for a mandatory conference years ago. The Grand Old Opry and the Academy Awards were about the same, equally tacky. The Grand Old Opry might have been more intelligent and sophisticated.
Hidden Figures (or Hidden Fences as Jenna Bush Hager unforgiveably called it and profusely and tearfully apologized) is the hands down favorite so that the Hollywood lefties can feel good about themselves again, after last year’s debacle.
Will the Oscars be a 3 1/2 Hour long Trump bashing session??? Will all the jokes told be funny only to liberals???
Will everything be linked somehow to Trump destroying the world as we know it? For example, the movie about the black women mathematicians at NASA during the Jim Crow era—will we be lectured that Trump wants to send Imus back to the days of segregation???
I promise never to watch. Ever.
LaLa Land is going to sweep. I really wish Hacksaw Ridge would win but it won’t. I saw Fences and found it so boring. Yes Viola and Denzel were outstanding in it but the story was very boring.
I also wouldn’t mind Lion winning. I didn’t see it but I think the story is fascinating.
Why are you discriminating against the disinterested?
Why aren't we allowed to have a seat at the table?
Why do you interested people always treat us like second class citizens?
What's it going to take for you to recognize the basic human rights of the disinterested??
We demand equality!!
The list of yawn washing my car is more productive than viewing the Oscars.
Hollywood loves a$$ patting ego parties for some strange idea they think they are of worth.
