For pity’s sake Hollywood, spare me your virtue-signalling nonsense at the Oscar (tr)

The Oscars are just three days away and I’m beginning to sink into a mind-crushing stupor of dread at what lies ahead of us.

Hollywood’s awards season has deteriorated into an endless round of virtue-signalling, hypocritical bullsh*t as the planet’s most infamously ill-behaved town pretends to be outraged by its own immorality.

We’ve had the black dresses, the white ribbons, the furious red carpet rages and the weepy podium speeches.

None of it has been about movies; all of it has been about actors competing with each other for the coveted title of Best Victim.

Now they’re excitedly preparing for the big one… the Academy Awards – a chance to scale new heights of ridiculous self-aggrandising preaching to the billion people watching around the world.

How did we reach such a ridiculous state of affairs?

The first Oscars ceremony was held in Hollywood in 1929 in front of just 270 people.

Fifteen statuettes were awarded, and the entire thing lasted 15 minutes. Everyone who won an award was thrilled to see their work as an actor recognised by their peer group. None of them made any speeches about political issues.

By contrast, last year’s Oscars was held in front of 3,400 people, saw 24 awards presented, went on for 3 hours 49 minutes and included the biggest array of political statements in the show’s history.

Ugh, me too. I have developed such a hatred for Hollywood. I don’t even enjoy watching movies anymore.

Think of it as a hatefeast for communists who hate our country and their useful idiot rapists, victims, and sluts who moved up by ‘doing’ the directors...
