At the Oscar Ceremonies, it is forbidden to refer to someone as an "actress" . The pc term is "female actor".

That has always grated on me.

Maybe that's why I so seldom go to the movies these days.

I don't know what Oscar ceremonies you've been watching. The official categories are best actress in a starring role and best actress in a supporting role, and that's how the winners are announced.

I think the pc of actress to female actor is an indication of the illiteracy of the PC crowd.

Does anyone have the ratings for the oscars?

From this morning's fox stories, it was one big environment is morality fest.

IOW science is not relevant to the myth of global warming only feeeeeeel good morality matters.
