    Apparently there is no downside to Ukraine support, in fact our morals indicate clearly that support is the only choice. But equally clearly we shouldn't support too much, and everybody knows exactly where that line is, so don't ask, because everybody already knows. Only a bad person would ask.

        To be simpatico with cornered people defending their home against a nuclear power who will murder them, might obligate some small personal sacrifice. I'm not sure Hollywood has thought this one through. But let's face it, to not attend the Oscars will already be a bridge too far for most of them. This is popcorn worthy to see if Zelensky speaks there. I suppose it could turn into a nothing burger cheerleading speech followed by uproarious applause and no followup whatsoever. But that would be up to Zelensky and the degree to which he implored American pop culture to put their money where their mouths are.

          Has Mr. Penn asked the question, why would Mr. Zelensky want to address these losers?

            Waste of time. There won't be any white people there if the past two years are any indication.

                @Jolly Did they have 10 nominees back in 1939?

                I always remember it being five until the last few years.

                    It would be pure awesome if some activist actors took the podium at the Oscars to take America to task for caring so much about Ukraine but not various African conflicts. That would be more popcorn worthy than any of the best picture nominees.

                      It's also more likely.

                        Started watching about 15 minutes ago...

                        What the HELL was that first song? Apparently, when "Melody" called, the "composer(s)" didn't pick up.

                        Venus and Serena Willams - nice boobs.

                          I didn’t realize it was tonight. I guess Zelensky won’t be appearing to make an historical acceptance speech for Best Cause Celebre.

                              The show is so poorly written. The comedy skits are tedious and humorless.

                                    I just watched a few minutes.

                                    It looks like most of the private boxes are empty.

                                    They can't even get their own people to show up.

                                    Fortunately they seem to have enough variety in skin color this year, although to be honest I'm not sure you can have enough.

                                      Well that’s worth watching. Will Smith just went up on stage and smacked Chris Rock over some joke he told about Smith’s wife.

                                        I guess he felt he needed more street cred after his kiddy candy rap song Parents Just Don’t Understand. What a fucking joke to play tough guy at the Oscars over a nothing joke about his open marriage partner.

                                          Apparently Rock told a joke about Jada at the 2016 oscars, which she boycotted due to a lack of diversity. Rock said it was like himself boycotting Rihanna’s parties. He wasn’t invited.

                                          This time the joke was about jada being bald. I guess that is due to a skin condition, and I guess it’s off limits to Will.

                                          Oh and apparently in recent years, Jada cuckolded Will with a boy half her age.

                                          I would dearly love to watch what tough guy will would choose to do should Rock continue to make jokes about public person Jada. Maybe Will can prove how manly he is with a prison sentence and multi million dollar law suit. Idiot.

                                          But it’s good to see a more diversified cultural mix at the oscars.
