Deadline ^ | 3/11/2023 | Dominic Patten, Ted Johnson

[Bullish]

I couldn’t watch jimmy Buttface Kimmel for 2 seconds so I’m out.

[bray]

The Communist Party is not having a good year to boast about.

[Sicon]

unless events between now and then demand it, Kimmel’s opening bit is said to feature only fleeting political references

So, you’re saying that unhinged TDS is played out?! After only eight years?!!

Quitters.

[Gaffer]

As a boy of the 50s, I grew up on these movies. “The Horn Blows at Midnight,” “The Major and the Minor,” “Imitation General,” “The Best Years of Our Lives,” to name a few and there were so, so many more. Today’s movies don’t hold a candle to them, IMO. Just Woke BS.

[gibsonguy]

They are getting rid of the red carpet..

[Shady]

With Jimmy Kimmel as host? 🤣

[clintonh8r]

Yeah I guess that’s why they hired non-partisan uniter Jimmy Kimmel.

[catnipman]

“Oscars Seeking To Eschew Politics, Partisanship In Favor Of Old-School Escapism”

that must mean they revoked their “diversity” rule that pics were eligible for nomination ONLY if they were chock-a-block full of LGBTQWERT’s and various skin shades and genders and religions OTHER THAN WHITE CHRISTIANS, right?

[Optimist]

We want to embrace the diversity of talent and nominees
DIVERSITY thy name is wokeness

aiming to stay primarily politically agnostic and controversary free
Sadly liberals think their viewpoint is neither political nor controversial

[sauropod]

Good luck with that.

[AC86UT89]

Staying away from politics? Jimmy Kimmel is a democrat party hack. No thanks!!!

[AnotherUnixGeek]

“We’re not interested in distractions or partisan debate, we’re interested in Tom Cruise,” a 95th Academy Awards ceremony insider says

Then don't invite a partisan scumbag like Jimmy Kimmel to host. No one will watch, and Kimmel will be a big part of the reason why.

[Blue Collar Christian]

Seems this all started when ol’ gerbil butt used his time to denounce China’s wicked humanitarian treatment of Tibet. Apparently Hollywood relies significantly on income from China, so they banned him from the Oscars. Since then stars have been sneaking in their politics and pushed the boundaries until now it seems stylish to spout their leftist opinions.

[cgbg]

You can always trust leftists—to stab you in the back.

[Trump_Triumphant]

Who is getting bitch slapped this year?

[Allegra]

I’m not buying it. The wokesters can’t resist shoving their obsessions down everybody’s throats.

I haven’t watched the Oscars since I was a teenager and haven’t missed it.

[nickcarraway]

Please, no. We live for them preaching to us, and telling us how wrong we are.

[jocon307]

“Hosted by Jimmy Kimmel?”

Exactly. It was actually during a prior hosting gig at the Oscars where Jimmy Kimmel became dead to me. And really, I had liked the guy.

[mewzilla]

The Harkles.

[Trump_Triumphant]

I would tune in to see that.
