    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.

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          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.

                            Just read that Will is haunted by his childhood inaction when his dad abused his mom. It was a big part of his memoir. I can see how that might have played into this craziness. Maybe it was cathartic. Too bad he had to punk Chris Rock in the process. I anticipate generosity from Rock and an abject apology from Smith and the idiot masses thinking it was awesome.

                              I literally couldn't care less.

                              The Oscars are essentially an American version of the Royal Family. Every year people waste 3 hours of their lives watching, and then spend another 12 hours telling everybody how much they don't care about them.

                              I was only joking
