Will you be watching the Oscars this Sunday?

they are doing it again this year - making an awards show into a cause celebre - not worth it - I've better things to do

Don't forget singer Bjork's swan dress.

Ahhhh.... The pushups!

It might be controversial, but it gets people talking. Plus as godewey said, it's all about the ratings. I didn't watch the Golden Globes, but I was aware of some of the political instances. While some of the "stars" are certainly hypocrites, I just take it with a grain of salt.

I'm not sure. I mean when you have politicians that tweet their every thought, and have huge rallies where they can say whatever they want to their base, why should award shows be any different? Or perhaps they should have hollywood rallies instead of award shows? Maybe I am more blasé about it, because I don't watch. Perhaps if the ratings tank the producers will institute a stricter policy on political rants at these shows.

I really hope that video clips on youtube would quell any desire for an awards channel.

Miss Margo,

How many of those “Do as we say; not as we do.” hypocrites will be frothing at the mouth about gun violence, while their armed bodyguards are offstage watching? They probably trip over each other! The ones that berate gun owners the loudest are the ones who have a flick playing currently (or will have) laced with violence from guns, knives, swords, baseball bats, etc. Some of those ignoramuses even do voiceovers for bloody animated video games! God, save me from the hypocrisy of these pompous, pious arseholes!

I also couldn't stand that every 3 seconds they're showing the "stars" in the audience.
Just sitting there reacting to the person talking. So stupid.

I think it's just a bragging thing at this time.
You can say "I have and Oscar" and people will be impressed.
Many people have won an Oscar and just disappeared.

And the classic "It's just an honor to be nominated"
I call BS. With the Hollywood ego you know people are downright pissed if they don't win.

Thats a big NOPE here!!
And you need not ask me 'honestly...'
I am always honest thank you

The 'Globes have always been a bit lighter in tone, more silly and fun than The Oscars

I understand that a statement had to be made about the situation in Hollywood but man did they throw the fun train off the tracks!
Hard to watch

If The Oscars follows suit im gonna tap out early...i want glamour and laughs and fun
I dont require a sermon

A Million Ways To Die In The West was fantastic! Oddly enough, I don't like The Orville as much as many people do, probably because I was expecting a lot more comedy.
