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...

That would mean I had to watch them to be able to not watch them.

Boycott Bump! The worst thing about tonight is how the networks bump off our favorite shows to make room for this worthless exercise in pompous self-indulgence. Spare me. I have other plans.

How many REAL people actually care about a bunch of freaks putting on a private club's show?

I want to see Mel Gibson speaking in Mayan, other than that the Oscars interest me zip. And I love movies. But the themes in this year's crop of movies are just a total turn off.

It does go without saying for me, too - I am going to break out my old "Vicar of Dibley" videos and have a rip roarin' laugh or two!

From the looks of this thread, I think lots of people are steering clear of the Oscars. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1590479/posts?page=87#87

I'm not watching for the first time in my adult life. I'm really boycotting the show.

I've never watched it in the past, and I certainly do not intend to start...

So, how will you join the gossiping for the next few day, not knowing how tacky things were that some "people" had the audacity to wear?!!

Why bother? No one's going to watch them anyway.

After the Oscars they'll come out with their usual proclamation that "A record 725 billion housesholds watched this yea's Oscars" announcement.
