Graudates of Black Acting School?
Perhaps I would've noticed if I had watched. Which I didn't.
Go woke. Go broke.
I didn't watch and did not know he was in the running BUT KUDOS to him!
But people who can bounce a rubber ball, why they are deep thinkers and experts on everything.
Once upon a time the Oscars were a fun evening for movie fans. But, the woke culture has killed it just like it ruins everything.
They don’t care. It a Mutual Admiration Event.......................
I watch little TV but when I do, most commercials on all networks feature blacks & homosexual males - rarely a white heterosexual male and never a normal white heterosexual couple.
Yep that pretty much covers it. The first oscars were like a dinner banquet and fairly low key but that changed over the years. Now since politics intrudes so much it’s just a big bore.
Regarding 2 and 3. If the movies were any good, the fact they were on streaming services would have meant even more people watching and hearing about them. The content was garbage, not the distribution.
And the "woke" either don't notice they are committing suicide or their "causes" and ribbons are worth it and the people buying tickets, well half can go to he*l.
The polls all lie to us, the American people, about Failed, Democrat, Faux POTUS Biden & Democrat, VP, Kamala Harris, who are two confirmed “ZEROS” and,”Hollywood” has slit its own throat with political nonsense. Who makes money in films today?...why Hallmark & Small Independent film producers that stick to the business they are in!!! Hollywood has killed itself and no one in America cares or listens to a word they utter...fools that all of them are!!!
Glad people are avoiding this trash.
I did catch a clip online of Glenn Close answering trivia, praising Spike Lee, and embarrassing herself by shaking her rear. The trivia/talking part at least was obviously rehearsed, but whatever it takes to fool the woke crowd, I guess.
Nekkid Man was awesome.
No because I spent time with family
Sad....but she still will not be ignored.
Did the U.S. make any movies the last year?
This is great! Hollywood and sports lost thier star attraction power. Time to attack public schools and unions next and the DNC is neutered!
