Glenn Close twerking

I'm so glad I fell asleep. Had I wakened, I would've thought it was a nightmare.

It was, I assure you

It hardly seems like a year since everybody was complaining about how shit last year's Oscars were, and it's actually longer than that.

I've never understood why anybody would watch a bunch of rich people telling each other how great they are. If you did watch, you've only got yourself to blame.

Incidentally, if they want to improve it, they need to have Rick Gervais host. I'd watch that show.

Three things lacking:

1. Old time star power.
2. Oscar winning movies that people actually want to watch.
3. An appreciation for the fans, without an abundance of woke BS.

I did not know the Oscars were this weekend until this thread.

IOW, you were not in the 9.8 million, LOL.

[LuFins Dad]

They’re ratings matched an average ratings for NCIS or The Voice...

Also - the Oscars are fake. They’re all paid actors.

A sense of their own silliness would really help.

First Oscars in memory that I can recall not watching any of.

Same here. First time in probably 20 years I skipped it completely. Genuinely tired of the preaching and out of touch views.

Best comment:

“That was not entertainment. That was Frances McDormand having explosive diarrhoea in a plastic bucket on a van.”

@george-k said in Masking at the Oscars:

In 1998, the Oscars had about 57 million viewers.

Last night, they had 9.8 million.

I think it's safe to say that circa none of those 9.8 million were of the disadvantaged classes the high status woke at the event presume to speak for.
