No, self important idiots. We are not scared of transgender and gay an brown. WE ARE BORED TO DEATH OF YOU TELLING HOW THESE THINGS MTTER MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE.

It was nice to see Mira Sorvino...However, that segment about female empowerment was silly...I felt bored watching that segment...

There are some female actresses willing to sleep with powerful males to advance their careers...That has been the case in the past...That will be the case in the future...
I don’t think anyone in the Oscar broadcast was willing to admit that...

I look forward to it. I don’t get out much except to kids’ movies! So yeah, I’ve seen Coco twice, so there. ;)

____________________________________________________________

Coco also won the Best Song award...The songwriter for that song also wrote songs for movie Frozen...

Michael Medved only gave 3 stars for Coco...He said that the movie was “too dark”...(3 out of 4)

Director of movie Coco criticized President Trump for making anti-Mexican comments...I did read an LA TIMES article about Coco...People involved with Coco expressed their displeasure with President Trump...

Coco people did not mention President Trump during their Oscar speech however...

I would like to watch Coco eventually...But, I wonder if Coco people really had to critize President Trump on his immigration policy...

I am glad that Janney won the Best Supporting Actress award...She was really good in I, Tonya...

I caught the end, Just by the little clips they showed of all the movies (I haven’t seen them), Saoirse Ronan was robbed for best actress, and I’m not just saying that cause she’s much better looking than Frances McDormand.

Gary Oldman won for “Churchill”, haven’t seen it but it seems like overracting based on clips.

Best Picture is a Movie is about a weird chick dating a fish monster.

I guess that beats “Moonlight” from last year.

But the fags got their due with a best adapted screenplay for another gay pedo adventure.

The audience cheered loudest for Black nominees.

Jodie Foster on crunches and Jennifer “Splooge” Lawrence wearing heels so high she looked ready to join the WNBA was an interesting juxtaposition, it was remarked they looked like two different species.

Did not waste my time as "The Oscars" has gone from being a much anticipated, must watch entertainment event of my 1950s childhood to a mega-bore-feast that insults most, if not everything, I hold dear.

It is like asking a Jewish combat vet from World War Two's European Theater to watch the goings on at a Nazi Party Congress in Nuremberg and applaud what is said and promoted there.

Of the films nominated for Best Picture, I actually watch only two of the batch: Darkest Hour (Pretty good flick but not Oscar caliber IMHO) and Dunkirk (Disappointing, disjointed, plotless two hours I will never get back)

The only other one I have any interest in seeing is Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri when it comes around on Netflix.

On the Best Actors, I only saw Gary Oldman in Darkest Hour and Denzel Washington in Roman J. Israel, Esq.. I enjoyed the former and the latter falls below my opinion of Dunkirk expressed above yet it did have a kind of plotline. However it does prove Denzel can convincingly act old, fat and boring.

Did not see any of the other acting award nominations.

So, did not watch and sadly, do not even care anymore--

BTW got to watch on FXM one of my favorite flicks that is not available even on Youtube and one that I have not seen in many, many, many years: Woman's World (also known as A Woman's World) is a 1954 Technicolor drama film with one of my favorite actors of all time, Clifton Webb.

It is pure 1954 and had some of the Dream and Concept cars Ford offered up in those early 1950s boom years plus Clifton at his best, rich as hell and 'I'll let you know it' smooth old fart, character with a heart and a still functioning libido. The rest of the cast are just as you expect them to be: June Allyson as the perfect, reluctant, but loyal 50's wife, Van Heflin shows he does have that "X Plus" gravitas, Lauren Bacall is the wife who does her best with Fred MacMurray as the driven to succeed even at the cost of his life husband and Arlene Dahl built as a 1950s Sex Siren should.

Now, that was a film with a beginning, middle and end to enjoy!

The fact that nobody complained about that disgusting movie being made was stunning. Even conservatives were silent about it. I was surprised to say the least.

Oh, the people who got up and spoke when Coco won made me ill. Both times they had to bla bla bla marginalized bla bla bla representation. Puke.

It was a good movie, a good story, a clever plot, and it was about a cultural holiday I didn’t formerly understand which is fascinating and rich, and the art was amazing and the music was pleasant. I didn’t notice anything in the story about marginalizing and representing. Everyone in the movie was Mexican. It took place in a Mexican town. THERE WERE NO GRINGOS. And I could handle that. No representation of “my people” in it. AND I SURVIVED and still loved the movie. Don’t ask me how.

It’s hardly the first film they’ve made on the subject in America or the rest of the world.

Big scandal was honoring it as one of the BEST.

I honestly haven’t heard of ANY of these movies.

I haven’t been to the movies in going on two years. I also haven’t had cable in going on two years either. I’m done funding these semi literate animals and their ridiculous “causes”.

The last time I watched one of those pervert conventions I hadn’t even been commissioned. Doesn’t interest me in the least bit. Even if they weren’t a bunch of sexual deviants I still would have no interest.

I don’t have a problem with mature adults trading favors for sex and vice versa. In fact, I’d call it impossible to prevent or stop. But I am glad it will be harder for the Weinsteins and Lauers of the world to abuse underlings or people seeking work.

And to me, personally, I think the Meryls of the world are as bad if not deceptively WORSE than the Harveys who say “suck this to be in that movie.” Streep and the other powerful, wealthy women of Hollywood who knew damn well and chose to avert their eyes chose their own selfish greed over the safety of many young powerless actresses. In some ways that is worse, because they had the power to stop Weinstein etc and chose not to. And they get to sit in the effing front row and pretend to be feminists. Pure evil. Pure lies.
