I hope it gets political!

Not that I’ll be watching, but I presume it’s rather like watching a bunch of chimpanzees at the zoo. It’s really fun to watch when the chimps start screeching and throwing their arms wildly. I see no difference between chimps at the zoo and these Hollywood types.

I really get a kick at these Hollywood court jesters who take themselves so seriously and assume we do too. Shhhh... don’t tell them. It’s fun to watch them screeching and waving their arms wildly.

I wonder how long Mel Gibson will be able to sit there and listen to all the commie bullsh*t that will be expounded upon while he’s waiting to see if Hacksaw Ridge wins best picture.

But the Hollywood Jesters don’t know that, and it might be fun to watch them LOSE THEIR MINDS all over again at the Prospect of moving to AFRICA!

One way we can ALL protest is by simply NOT WATCHING the Oscars. Period. And that includes the “Red Carpet”. I will be watching Turner Classic Movies on Sunday evening.

I couldn’t care less what these fish think. You lost and so did your millions of dollars. Go ahead and show your anti-American ass on stage. I will never see it or care.

You don’t think people who work in the industry don’t know that?

But will AMPAS restrain Kimmel?

Why? Because the Oscars is one of the major public "faces" of the entertainment industry (especially the movie industry), and after the debacle with Michael Moore 14 years ago, the AMPAS Board of Governors may impose strict rules on any Trump-bashing, so Jimmy Kimmel could be seriously "muzzled." And the nominees clearly know it, too; one wrong statement could cost the movie studio potentially many, many millions of dollars in movie theater box office revenues.

An evening of glitter and virtue-signaling.

There go the ratings

I hope they do go political this year. In fact, I hope they go totally, completely foaming-at-the-mouth unhinged!!!

I want to see tears flowing over the plight of transgendered Somali refugees who are about to lose their Obamacare coverage.

They do not pay attention do they? They will not get more viewers, they will get less.

Looking at the lineup for Daytona Sunday I find no Driver with that name!
I did find Jimmie Johnson, who will be worth watching.
With enough ribs, wings and beer. I will care less about Holloweird, any night!

About the only part of the Oscar’s I have ever watched is the opening monologue by the host. I don’t think they have had anyone really funny since Billy Crystal.

Most are hard to watch, such as Whoopi Goldberg.
