Javier Bardem was in that insufferably bad “Mother!” Let’s nominate him for being able to make his way through that train wreck of a movie without busting out laughing.

How have the Oscars gotten away with not having a quota system for so long?

I watch B Horror movies on Amazon Prime :)

Haven’t been to a theater or watched TV besides football (which they ruined) in years.

I kept walking out of too many movies after 10 minutes cursing!!

I guess they all sucked? Or maybe got scooped up by ICE? They have their own Congress, their own magazines and TV networks. Cesar Chavez Day. What else do they want?

They already have The Latin Grammys, but you can bet your sweet bippy if the real Grammys didn’t have any Latin nominees, they’d still complain.

I love it when political correctness bites the oh so enlightened Hollywood elitists in the butt. These people who love to preach at us at how narrow minded and bigoted we are.

The truth is, political correctness is on an unsustainable trajectory. When every group imaginable (except white straight males of course) can see themselves as victims and not getting their properly calculated share of whatever - money, glory, parts, acclaim, awards, jobs, etc, there is going to be blow back onto these folks who bow to the god of political correctness.

Its funny because Mexicans and most elitist “Latinos” I meet are actually the most racist people I know.

Find some blonde, change her name to “HERNANDEZ” and these so-called latino media types will stop complaining.

Seems like more and more they MUST insert a gay scenario. Not that I care what people do behind close doors, just quit forcing it on us. GOD will be the judge when the time arrives.

I demand an Oscar and I demand it now—it is my right as a human being!

So what if I have nothing to do with the entertainment industry. :-)
