Babylon Bee ^ | February 22, 2019 | Benjamin Edens

A report coming out of Hollywood this afternoon revealed that a 4-hour-long political lecture scheduled for Sunday will be disguised as an awards show in order to drum up interest.

"See, if we just asked people to tune in for four hours of virtue-signaling and political posturing, we'd have zero viewers," said one of the show's organizers.

The awards will be politically motivated. The acceptance speeches will be politically motivated. The interviews will be politically motivated. In other words, same old garbage.

Unfortunately, the rain has finally cleared here in L.A. after 10 days or so, so the rain won’t have any eff vt on their red carpet entrances. Damn + lol!

Again this year, as has been true for a couple decades, I won’t be watching since I don’t go to movies that are nominated for oscars.
