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 haven't seen the Oscars since Ben Hur won.
Don't want to sully my record.
LOL! That's so true. I have watched every year for years. This year though, I really am boycotting. Hollywood has gotten completely out of hand with the politics in movies. I can't even say the last time I went to a movie and said, "Wow that was really good, that should win an Oscar". I can't remember the last time a movie came out that I was really anxious to see. It's been at least a few years now.
There is very little creativity left in Hollywood. All the movies have political agendas or they are movies about other celebs. Think about it. Ali, Ray Charles, Howard Hughes, and the list goes on.
If they decide to stick to just making movies to entertain us, rather than push a political agenda, maybe I'll watch them again.
Sorry, In order to boycott them I would have had to watch them in the past. Why would I waste my time watching a bunch of people, who only pretend to have intelligence, give themselves self congratulatory awards?
:)
It has now!
is he fighting tonight?
They say that the Oscars are like the Super Bowl for women.
Time for some serious bitch slappin'.
My wife wants to watch the Oscars, so that settles that.
The what?
I will be sitting im my recliner,checking in at Free Republic as I watch the Fox News Channels "War Stories" with Col. Oliver North. Thats basically a Sunday ritual with me anyway.

But back then I was a 
liberal.
I'm sorry to hear he's at the Oscars, actually.
I look forward to seeing that, but I'll wait for the clip to be passed around the net.
LOL!
The Internet rules! We don't have to 'watch' the junk hollyweird produces, in order to see what interests us.
Here's an alternative...a new "War Stories" with Ollie North on Fox News Channel.
It's about the good old days when Hollywood actually was an American enterprise.
You know, when Hollywood supported the military. (OK, it was because our
gifts of planes and equipment saved the USSR from being overrun by the Wehrmacht)

You are absolutely right. I am playing soccer tonight, then we are going to have a few brews and then ...NOT watch the Oscars.
Of course down there in Guantanimo they are planning to force the terrorists to watch them as part of the softening up process. They make me want to scream - so God help those poor b'grs.
I'd rather watch the first episode othe first "day" of "24" (got it at Target last week for $20)
