Surely you know Kimmel would rather the media be talking about his trash talk of the President

GIANT SMILE ON MY FACE THIS AM

This is my take as well.
I totally avoided the show last night. Awoke to reports of this major gaffe, and are enjoying it. The screw-up is the story, and not the left political speeches that were undoubtedly made throughout the night.
What a shame.

Are the Oscars "So White"? No...the Oscars are "SO WHAT?".

The truth is, most of the “black” movies are unwatchable propaganda or they just suck as entertainment.
I learned a couple of decades ago that if all the actors in a movie are black, I don’t need to see it. It’s not that I’m racist. Rather, it is that it is a movie created for the black culture, about the black culture. They are pretty much all comedies or romantic comedies, but the ones I saw were not funny to me because they did not relate to my culture.
I’m sure people in the culture they were written around do enjoy them, though. That’s just not MY culture.
And I find the same thing is now true with romantic comedies in general. The culture has changed enough that my wife and I (63 years old) simply can’t relate to them. Gone are the days of movies like Sleepless in Seattle.
I’m sure young people can relate to them though.
For comedy to be funny, it has to be based on reality. If it is based on a reality that is from a culture that is not mine, it just doesn’t work.
Though we did enjoy Under the Tuscan Sun...

[Why dont they just hand out participation trophies for everyone.
And why do they have to have separate awards for men and women, thats sexist.]
Give it time.

I’ve not taken the “best Picture” award seriously since Annie Hall beat Star Wars.
No, I’m not kidding. That was a farce.

I boycotted the show. I saw sports and Fox’s prime time lineup after Daytona and also was at the park before sundown. Went to bed early so the show was probably still on.

Until this thread, I never heard of Moonlight. I have no desire to see it.

These are the people who believe it is their right to run the entire country (and the world).
Yet they can’t even run a rigged ceremony giving each other “Aren’t We Wonderful?” awards.

Lion is a terrific movie. It’s one of those stories that stays with you after it’s over. I enjoyed Saroo’s book, too.

I agree. I think that was back in 1977 or 1978.

I had never heard much about it until this morning. It seems it could have been called “Blackbroke Mountain.”

"Well, we all know what that is:" A couple of self absorbed, self loathing, white liberal SJWs virtue signalling they are down with the struggle?

Reminiscent of the Scarsdale Surprise kerfuffle.
