HAS ANYBODY SAID IT YET? BOYCOTT THE OSCARS (Oscars Live Thread)
3-4-06 | freedom4me

Posted on 03/05/2006 1:43:20 PM PST by freedom4me

I suppose on this thread it goes without saying, but I'll say in anyway...BOYCOTT THE OSCARS tonight.

I want the ratings for this year's program go into the toilet (where most the nominated movies belong). I won't waste my money to see the films, my electricity to watch the Oscars, or my time watching to witness Hollywood's self-adulation fest.

Pass it on...

I'll be doing my part. I have zero interest in the Oscars.

Does it count as a boycott if you've almost never watched them before? Or do you have to have been an Oscar watcher and stop watching?

Such confusion!

Seems most of the gals are wearing 'smokey eyes' tonite.

I used to watch them all the time and my husband and I are not watching this year. I love to go to movies, but I am tired of the types of movies Hollywood is producing. They only produce them for their other movie associates. They don't care about the fans. If they did they would make movies they know we like and that we would go to see. They are so self important.

Drudge will tell us everything we need to know. Why would we waste our time? As far as women wanting to know what celebrities are wearing, that'll be shown on all the news shows tomorrow. Great night to read a book or give the spouse a back rub (or both).

Mr. HR keeps flipping it to the Hallmark Channel where they're airing Lonesome Dove. I've told him that I refuse to watch the part where Gus dies.....

Call her up and ask her if she wants to go see "Brokeback Piggly Wiggly", where two stockboys fall in love.
