The Oscars have been garbage because so many times they have given the award to something which clearly had a superior competitor, for example:

The Sound of Music winning Best Picture over Doctor Zhivago
Oliver winning over 2001: A Space Odyssey
Shakespeare In Love winning over Saving Private Ryan

And the documentary category has always sucked. You can pretty much spot what is going to win by the subject matter, not how good the documentary is.

Chris Rock can take a punch, but the left can't take a joke.

They wanted more diversity.

Reminds of the case of Zinedine Zidane. I was with Zidane back then.

Not sure what to think of case with Will Smith now. Maybe a fake. Maybe real. If it were real, I probably would defend him. However, my problem is I cannot really stand Will Smith, and so find it difficult to think myself into his position.

No opinion on this from me, therefore.

Not nearly as bad as the Hockey hooligans in Canada, though.

Yea but it's part of our lifestyle. We have to do it.

Looked too neat to be real.

Unfortunately, I had much more important things to do at this time.. like cutting my dog's nails.

That's great. I couldn't find my glasses so the dog was reading the paper to me. Unfortunately, satire and humor is lost on him.

Next up is another farce of an awards show, the Grammy's. My Dog hates rap and hip hop and informed me we aren't watching that either. The cats are none too fond of the shows as well.

fake or not how many men you know that slaps

The first academy awards ceremony was in 1929 and lasted 15 minutes. It has been going down hill ever since then.

Well if i gave you a Marine slap or pre rainbow army slap you would have a dislocated jaw. And that would be just a slap. These are all actors that covid put straight to DVD and the country forgot about.Who cares CGI looks better anyway and it's cheaper.
