Why I'm Skipping the Oscars This Year ( 10 Years of Agenda Driven Awards )

This dude's a little late to the game, ain't he?

I think most conservatives gave up on the Oscars years ago. Who watches these things anymore?

[fjsva]

Wow, I have not seen any of the movies listed as winners.

Have never watched more than a few minutes of any award show. Just too boring. I must really be out of the mainstream!!

[aligncare]

Don't you just love being 'out of touch'...with so-called popular culture.

My favorite is when the 'Movie Stars' are chatting with the late-night host, and they tell each other how cool they are. It's just so precious.

[HOTTIEBOY]

Watching the Oscars requires sitting like a bag of lard in front of the TV.

I figure I have some options.
If I turn the TV off, I can:
Work on my motorcycles
Drink a cold beer
Work on my motorcycles while drinking a cold beer
Work on anything while drinking a cold beer
Ride one of my motorcycles
Clean the house
Clean the house while drinking a cold beer
Jog
Play with the kids
Go out to eat
Go walk around the Mall
Play with my dog, take him jogging
Get out my telescope and do some stargazing
Try and fix a new recipe with my girl in the kitchen, away from the TV
Etc
Etc

Now let's examine my options if I turn the TV on:
Sit in the recliner like a bag of lard.

Here are all of the Best Picture winners from the past 15 years, and by gosh you're right. Every single one of them is gay, gay, gay.

Million Dollar Baby--About a woman boxer, and its star won an earlier Oscar for getting killed by hicks because she was a he (or was he a she?).

Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King--A love story about Frodo the Hobbit and his faithful gardener, Sam.

Chicago--A musical. Gay.

A Beautiful Mind--About a man, but has the word "beautiful" in it.

Gladiator--"Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?"

American Beauty--There's that word "beauty" again.

Shakespeare in Love--Has a woman disguising herself as a man for a part in a play. And I don't care if only men could be in plays in Shakespeare's time. That's just not right!

Titanic--Every woman loves this movie. Very gay.

The English Patient--Stars Ralph Fiennes, who has three strikes against him: He played a character named The Tooth Fairy in "Red Dragon," he's British, and the name is supposed to be Ralph, like Ralph Kramden, dammit, not Rafe. What a fag!

Braveheart--Stars Mel Gibson, who was in all those "Lethal Weapon " "buddy" films (wink, wink, nudge, nudge). And do I even have to mention the homoerotocism of "The Passon of the Christ"?

Forrest Gump--Could there be a faggier name for a movie? And, of course, star Tom Hanks won an Oscar the year before for playing a "Gay who gets AIDS."

Schindler's List--Stars Rafe Fiennes (see above), and that Commie Steven Spielberg directed it, so that's just about the same as being gay.

Unforgiven--Pretty much the prequel to "Brokeback Mountain."

Silence of the Lambs--The hero of this movie is a gay serial killer who makes women's skin into clothes. He's the villain? Never mind.

Dances with Wolves--Dances...with...wolves. 'Nuff said.

I don't think the Oscars are on any more either. I think they're called Golden Globes now.

No, that's the Best Actor nominee from 'Brokeback'.

"I belong to an organization that hands out trophies to mountain bikers, and God only knows we're not important either."

Thats the difference. Its not the center of your life.

I haven't watched the film "industry's" perverts yearly exercise in mutual masturbation for twenty years.

Why abuse yourself by watching these vermin swap spit?

I have to go take a shower now.

[Clint N. Suhks]

[hosepipe]

Ther should not be called Oscars..
They should be called, "MARXY'S"

[teletech]

Unkempt green fellow that lives in a garbage can.

What a grouch!

[ClancyJ]

I don't see much enjoyment in sitting waiting to be offended, shocked, disgusted. Apparently they do not wish to entice Bush supporters, those that honor middle America values, or those that support the war and America.

Therefore, let them enjoy the anti-America, pro-depravity, anti-war, democrat dictator lover crowds they seek to woo.
I won't waste my time to get offended.

[Tax-chick]

Those are important words.

I think (think, that is) I watched the OSCARS once on 1969. It bored the bejeebers out of me. As for being agenda driven, it's been that way for a good long time. I understand there was a time when Hollywood giants such as Clark Gable, James Stewart, Charleton Heston etal were patriots, those days have long passed. Even then they had weak minded stars such as John Garfield and Henry Fonda.

Regardless, the OSCARS have always been more than I could stomach.

"It's only in the last hundred years or so that we have elevated these people to some vaunted status. "

BARF warning!
Liza Minelli said, "We don't have royalty in this country, so everyone in this country looks at Hollywood as our royalty".

In Shakespeare's time the actors were considered the lowest of the low in society. How appropriate.

[steve8714]

What about "The Man who hung Liberty's Valances" about the first interior decorator in the west?

[redangus]

The People's Choice awards were entertaining for the hour that we watched. The presenters were all tongue in cheek and some good shows actually won.

[Rocky]

Academy Awards: Hollywood at its narcissistic worst.

I will miss it again this year.

[Maceman]

but Charlize Theron, playing an ugly lesbian serial killer in "Monster," won Best Actress.

Say what you want, but her performance in that movie was just amazing and absolutely deserving of the acclaim it garnered.
