I didnt watch it because I was straightening out my socks drawer.
At least part of the problem is that Hollywood doesn’t make many good movies.
Waiting for Black Panther to win “Best Picture” and “Best Actor” next year. LOL!

America’s ‘conscience’ doing the ‘Juggy talent show’ on The Man Show.
Maybe the left leaning exec will start getting the word out that if you want to work in Hollyweird, youd better keep you politics to yourself or even better yet, make it so the public has absolutely no idea what your politics are, or maybe that you support America, American vales, the President, the National Anthem, baseball, hot dogs, Apple pie, Chevrolet and everything else ,idle America holds dear.
Nobody wants to see Jennifer Lawrence in anything except the unemployment line................
Partly. Hollywood's products are garbage. Rather than entertainment, they are nonstop insults to the intelligence of their customers' tastes and sensibilities. The Oscar awards program compounds that with direct insults from actors, actresses, directors, MCs, etc.
Who, in their right minds, would sit through a program dedicated to rewarding products they don't want while being insulted by those who live off those products?!
From what I've heard, "Red Sparrow" was sunk by the fact that it isn't a very good movie.
Of course politics has a lot to do with it. But there’s also the fact that no one wants to stay up to find out what movie they’ll never see wins Best Picture. Hollywood seems to have lost the ability to make films that are both artistically and financially successful. Or even just fun to watch (I can’t stand superhero movies). Not only can’t they make a Godfather anymore, they can’t even make a Titanic or a Gladiator.
Red Sparrow i missed because i have become bored watching 105 pound pixies kicking the ass of NFL linemen, mafia enforcers, and special forces types.
What is very funny - in the middle of the article, there is a rating grid from Neilson showing who didn’t watch (vs. last year) by demographics - income and education.
It clearly shows that lower income people and less educated people were most likely to NOT watch vs. 2017 - their demographics watched less than the higher paid and more educated audiences.
The numbers in the grid are not discussed in the article. The grid is just dropped in there without any comment or reference.
So, the article (interview) is about the concept that liberals (Kimmel and Lawrence) may have driven away Republicans / Conservatives from watching. OK, probably some truth to that.
But, then tie that premise with the grid: the Republican’s didn’t watch because of the Liberals, and the grid says it was the poor and uneducated that didn’t watch: conclusion - Republicans are poor and uneducated!
This is the exact type of subtle bias injected in so many articles. Why put the grid in there at all if you are not going to discuss it? This is an interview piece and didn’t mention the demographics. Answer: the inflammatory rating grid is what the editors really wanted the reader to leave with; not the light bashing of Kimmel and Lawrence.
Maybe the are starting to sniff the Arabica.
The guy in the article didnt think Kimmel bashed rump? Hard to believe, but I didnt see much of the Oscars because Kimmel bashed the Right in his opening monologue.
” . . . this show was fun but still managed graceful moments on race, sexism, and immigration in speeches by Frances McDormand, Jordan Peele and Guillermo del Toro.”

How clueless can you get? Did it ever enter into their teeny little bubble heads that a film awards program might actually be better off it it stuck to - I dunno, FILM?
Who wants to watch a lot of preaching on ANY subject by these Hollywood dipshits, most of whom could graduate grammar school with a truck full of tutors, and who obviously made it to the top by renting their genitals to anyone with POWER written across their chest?
They’re losers, the lot of them - and it’s no surprise the crap they churn out for entertainment is so widely rejected by the half of the country that still has a capability to think.
You might as well spend a couple hours watching old film clips of Hitler trashing the Jews.
I had to give the cat a bath but from the clips I have seen the author was either watching something else or is Stalin’s long lost twin.
Hollywood-who cares?
Of course it’s about politics. The Academy awards used to be people watching actors and crews they admired awarded for movies they’d seen. Now at least half the audience gets to see actors and crews who hold them in open contempt awarded for movies that do the same. And the Academy membership and PR department seem to be incapable of figuring this out. It shouldn’t be a mystery to them - nobody is harboring any hidden grudges, and all they would have to do to understand what’s going on is to ask.
