Why can't actors not stick to what they are good at.
If they want to be political than go to a political event and give a speech or endorse a candidate.

This is the Oscars and they are spoiling my fun to watch it and from yhe reactions of even fellow actors and actresses it seems they don't have fun sitting there.
The Oscars generally spoils everyone's fun because it's a generally boring show.

The BLM are really starting to come across as real $h17$....how pathetic and whiny can you get.

When I rent a movie, it costs under 2 bucks.....and that feels like too much to me. It is going to have to be a very special movie...for me to shell-out 10 bucks to see a movie in the theater.
Black lives matter did not start the situation with the oscars. Jada Pinkett did.

I didn't like that, either. Poor Di Caprio was sitting there with the camera on him during that diatribe. Chris Rock was funny, and lampooned Jada Pinkett-Smith, too, but the additional vignettes featuring Whoopi et. al. were overkill.

But nobody was more despicable than Cheryl Boone-Isaacs, who put a damper on the whole evening and attempted to diminish the accomplishments of those nominated by laying a guilt trip on them--or maybe I should say laying a guilt trip on the white Americans who were nominated since she was droning on about the global, diverse industry.

Give me a break.

I am just glad the black people I meet in real life are not as annoying as the ones on TV.

And did I mention that the "So-and-so wants to thank" crawl at the bottom of the screen was damn annoying?

There were 13 lynchings between 1950 and 1968. Doubtful any of them were grandmothers.

I've always like Chris a rock, he is funny. But I wonder why so many presenters are black. I didn't see any Asian presenters. I mean the world has more Asian people than black people, yet nobody cries discrimination.
