The 2017 Academy Awards ceremony felt more like a DNC revival than a tribute to the year’s best movies.
Winner after winner, joke after monologue joke targeted new President Donald Trump. That may have been a warm-up act.
Hollywood has embraced the resistance hashtag as much as any industry. And there are no signs that will stop as we steer into awards season.
Martin Sheen just called his home country a “land of lunatics” for electing Trump.
The industry collectively recoiled over the President’s tweet banning transgender Americans from serving in the U.S. Military.
Stars like Mark Ruffalo and Michael Keaton expressed their glee over Anthony Scaramucci’s oh, so brief reign as White House Communications Director.
We’re getting an early sign that this month’s Toronto International Film Festival, the unofficial kickoff to awards season, will continue that trend.
Consider this comment from TIFF Documentary Programmer Thom Powers. This year’s non-fiction lineup is all about “resistance,” he said (his word):
“We pay witness to rebels challenging the status quo in art, politics, sexuality, religion, fashion, sports and entertainment,” he said, in a statement. “They speak powerfully to our times as audiences seek inspirations for battling powerful and corrupt systems.”
Several Fall films could segue smoothly into attacks on the Trump administration.

Since I won’t be watching the Oscar #NeverTrump libfest or seeing the flicks of these idiots....I could care less!
agreed
Why is this even on FR?
It has been and will continue to be the face of anti-Trump hate.
But NEW? Nothing new about it at all.
Is the Pope a communist?
I wanted to respond, “Is the Pope Catholic?” Then I caught myself.
No. He’s an islamist.
“Why is this even on FR?”

Why shouldn’t it be?

MOST DEFINATELY! ALL THE HOOLYWOOD WITCHs and WARLOCKs will come out with their FLYIBG MONKEYS.
Uh, because I wanted to post it. I can ask the mod to remove it if you want. Nah, never mind. ;-)
Did not see even one of the Oscar nominations last year.
Not due to politics, but because they were simply not interesting.
H-Wood has the creativity of a Dorkbama...e.g., zip, zero, nada.
This article is on FR because ho-wood has influence over the masses. They are the massah of the masses. Most of us here on FR don’t consume ho-wood’s products, so we need to be kept up-to-date on what those homos are doing.
Also, it gives me a chance to post one of my favorite sayings: Death to hollywood! :)
I'm not saying a full-out breaking windows/burning limos kind of reception, just enough noise, disruption and chaos to ensure a memorable evening.
SHUT IT DOWN, just like the neo-commies like to do to conservatives.
“....full-out breaking windows/burning limos kind of reception....” Silly. That kind of activity is only approved for blackbloc types and antifa assclowns. We’re not on the list. ;-)
Citizens don’t go to movies because movies suck... AND so does Hollywood AND most of the hate filled ‘stars’...
It’s like they want to fail... Go figure.
Hollywood doesn't represent the country - - they're not worth our time or effort.
It's best for us to continue ignoring them...don't go to their hate filled 'movies'... Why give creepy liberal elite jerks the free publicity?
The only film I saw in the cineplex this year was Dunkirk. I’m waiting for the other releases to come to the library on DVD where I can take them out for free.
I’ve not watched the Hollywood version of stinky finger since the late 80’s..
