Hattie and The Duke - two of my favorite actors. People who only know her as Mammy should check out her brilliant performance in Alice Adams which starred Katherine Hepburn.
Nice sentiments.
But, I fully expect this Oscar ceremony to be full of liberal jokes that you have to be liberal to think are funny, and full of this nonsense about how the liberal entertainment business is not giving enough awards to black performers.
I hope to be proven wrong about what happens there.
Compared to the John Wayne era, today’s Oscars is a self-aggrandizing parade of delusional narcissists.
Hollywood “actors/employees” are the most egotistical group of professionals ever known in history.
I have far more respect for the engineers and entrepreneurs in our society who have toiled to make great strides in our quality of life (jet travel, medical breakthroughs, technology).
We should have an “Oscars” for engineers/entrepreneurs to honor them. But instead we have this trash.
Hollywood actors have no class. And they’re all left-wing socioeconomic fascists, like Leonardo DeCraprio who preaches against global warming and then hypocritically jets around the world to frolic on gas-guzzling mega-yachts with gullible pretty girls who fall for his schtick. He’s the definition of Hypocrisy.
And these Hollywood “stars” think because they’re so good at PRETENDING they are someone else in a movie — and have thus become famous — that the world should listen to their flaky political ideas.
Disgusting. I never watch the Oscars.
Chris Rock doing his Blacks Get Even With Hollywood bit on the TV in the other room as I post - might be bearable if he were funny at least, but the masochistic libs are eating it up anyhow....
She was supposedly criticized for playing roles in which she was always the maid to white actresses.
Her reply was, "I'd rather play one than be one."
