I don't identify as a liberal. I find some of them as annoying as conservatives...but I have to say I think I get more joy from watching these awards shows to see what will trigger the beast in the conservatives.
Seriously -- I watch these shows religiously - and I like them -- but I don't see them for anything more than what they are -- light hearted entertainment. Sure they mirror our pop culture and will spout political mumbo jumbo -- it's all part of the show.
It's conservatives who think that people take everything that happens on these long, tedious shows to heart.
No no no.
You conservatives may fall victim to dramatic radio talk show hosts (Limbaugh) and Fox News....and such but us moderates -- or folks who aren't entrenched in dogma -- we just watch to see who won....see who says something silly, wear something silly.
Relax -- an awards show is not where some underlying indoctrination is happening.......get the tin foil hats....

Your self-identifying meter needs recalibrated. Your picture is under "liberal" in the dictionary...IMO.

Because I watch awards shows...pfft.
If that's how you identify your political ideology -- I can't argue with you.
I have nothing to bring.
I don't boycott Charleston Heston or Clint Eastwood because they are conservatives -- They have entertained and I appreciate and listen to their message as much as the next.
But because I don't tow your conservative line...I must be liberal.....
Lmao how you don't watch but you research sales figures and claim that the film has no audience but fail to acknowledge that it was made for 3.5m has earned 32m. Therefore, your hypothesis is wrong, it's a successful film.
Hopefully, the studio takes the money and makes 10 films that **** off Pence.
Until the Hollywood elites start pushing for legislation I don't care what they say/do.
It's mostly all garbage anyway.
They already push for legislation. They are the most visible part of "The Resistance" and all the lefty garbage that winds up as proposed legislation doesn't get to the committee before all the DNC darlings and their show ponies like Obama and Clinton and Pelosi and the Mexican Mafia have held a bunch of glitzy $5000/plate dinners so they can rub shoulders with the talent and the moneybags like the Weinsteins and Diller and Bruckenheimer and Peter Guber and SKG. At some point Rob Reiner has to get on board to rally the troops.
You think they aren't completely political?
Look at those political donation watchdog sites. They give BIG, and its ALL to the DNC.

What a joke. You have GOT to be kidding me. This film is a total turd. The actual expense budget is probably closer to 15-20M ...you're referring to the quoted production budget, which they couldn't find conventional financing for (which makes perfect sense because there really is not much market for a gay indie film), so they deferred most of the big ticket elements to be paid on the back end.
Even an indie film will burn up a few million dollars just for the crew and the sets and doing the principal photography. That's just to get the thing in the can. Then you have to pay for editing and post processing and packaging. Then you have to pay the producers, the talent, cover the story rights, and pay your distributors.
It might SEEM like its a profit home-run, but its totally NOT a money maker. That's why Kimmel said "We don't make films like this for the money." That's because there is no money in it!
I don't watch the Oscars anymore, but was just reading some of the coverage, and being amazed how their agenda is so overt these days. These Chaos Masters are not even really trying to conceal their subversive nature anymore.
The "this is a joke, but its not really a joke" moment came during Kimmel's monologue when he said, "We don’t make films like Call Me by Your Name for the money. We make them to upset Mike Pence.”
What this "kidding not kidding" quip reveals is the Homosexual Lobby's agenda to promote their alternative lifestyles as being equal to normal ones. A desire that comes not from a quest for personal freedom, but for an irrational and aggressive desire for control over the thoughts and opinions of other people.
The "Love that dare not speak its name" has become the "love that won't shut up".
And Kimmel wants to make it clear that this is the only reason these films really exist. It isn't because the public has an appetite for them. There was really no untapped market for The Crying Game, Philadelphia, Brokeback Mountain, nor Call Me By Your Name, which from reading a few book reviews, is far more sick and twisted in its degree of perversion and fetishes than the mainstream erotic films that the movie-watching public, which is 90% heterosexual, actually did crave, such as Last Tango in Paris, 9 1/2 weeks, Eyes Wide Shut, or Fifty Shades of Grey (Fifty Shades sold more than 140 million copies worldwide).
By comparison, the book on which Call Me By Your Name is based, of the same title, has sold less than 35,000 copies.
The sales data alone demonstrates that there is literally no market for the movie. Most books that only sell in the five figures will never get a second publication, let alone turned into a movie. Its something the publisher will lose money on. The truth is because there are so few LGBTQ people, as a percentage of the population, there really is no viable market for "Gay Literature". Its a niche, and it will always be a niche, because 90%+ of the reading population is straight.
Anyway, I just thought how bizarre it is to see Skinny Kimmel actually tell the truth about something. I gotta say I liked him better fat. When he had the Juggies and seemed like a cool dude. Guess THAT was the act, and this taunting ghoul is the REAL one.
Sounds like you need to stop watching the Oscars and mind your own business....
