Oscars felt like political waterboarding

I wish they would perfect CGI and we could have just CGI actors and get rid of these people.

Honestly, they are SO bad at sensitivity and humility, that they ought to stop trying. They can't carry it off, even the attempt is embarrassing.

Just go ahead and be self-congratulatory for one night. Let the rest of us enjoy it vicariously, we don't get to be full of ourselves in real life.

Good, good. Let the butthurt flow. CLEARLY you ain’t the only one that’s been offended by good ol’ Hollywood. To that I say: well-done once again, Hollywood! Buy yo, Bong’s well-deserved wins are already being attacked as political/woke by twitter bigot reich wingers, so there’s that.

Now, totally not agenda-driven reactionaries/chuds and supposedly apolitical folks who love to hate-watch the Oscars knowing full well they’re going to get triggered (it’s the REASON many of them tune in) and then bitch about it is PRICELESS. It’s been that way for years, and thankfully it’s the way it’ll be for years to come seeing as how those in Hollywood obvs aren’t listening to pissed off hypocrites (that kinda includes not-so-rightist celebs that also champion icky equal rights and stuff like Ricky Gervais whose “I’m edgy and don’t care anymore” shtick has gotten old) telling them to shush when it comes to real world issues.

Well news flash: Hollywood, as imperfect as it may be since behind-the-movie-exec-scenes things still aren’t as “woke” as you might think, keeps making progress and they won’t be regressing and shutting up in order to keep Hollywood-obsessed cons that scream virtue signaling & agenda (yet said cons applaud whenever regressive celebs get political and naturally they approve of the real propaganda coming from the 45 regime) happy. And FYI, several of these big bad Hollywood stars are more on the neoliberal side rather than the scary VERY non-con leftist side that the reich fears+cries about, albeit good thing their values do remain the opposite of their detractors

My awkwardly-awesome man Joaquin Phoenix? First off, ‘member all those reactionaries who were hell-bent on going after them sjws for taking issue with Joker? Lol... now Joaquin has been triggering those same reactionaries! “Waa waa... he got all sjw! He’s not 1 of us!” XD But Joaquin and all the talent that offended those like the OP, spoke some truth tonight! How dare these people care about politics/real world issues and use their platform to speak truth to power (speak from the heart) instead of staying quiet in this Twilight Zone world we’re living in or, worse, going on state tv Fox and sounding like your Ingrahams/4chan vermins who preach intolerance, exclusion, and science denial! (Why aren’t hate-filled, barely-famous 45 fans like ur Dean Cains, Ted “inbred” Nugents, Jon Voights, and Kristy Swansons not the majority in a town that’s the complete opposite of basically anywhere in Florida?! LORDT JESUS WHY?!.) Out of touch these anti-social injustice celebs are, u say? (Many of them btw are self-made millionaires, didn’t get a small loan of a million dollars from daddy, they have compassion for others and actually do good deeds and support good causes, unlike salty cons.) Yes, so says the crowd that worships billionaire demagogues and loves to vote against their own self-interests. *major eye roll*

Moreover, ya miss them good ol’ days of Hollywood (always been political - hail Marlon Brando!) when the “commies” couldn’t speak up thanks to reich wing fascists? Those days are luckily gone; and pump the brakes with any false equivalency. Also, I’m happy to say that no one but (mostly) the reich has any reason to feel salty over what these meanie political actors have to say. They should keep quiet? 1. Praise free speech, especially free speech that isn’t hateful rhetoric (how ya like them apples “free speech” reactionaries?). And 2. Great to know that there’s a relatively influential industry that’s the complete opposite of the current administration and does not preach everything from prejudice to climate denial in an age where ‘Murica has taken huge steps backwards thanks to a rich conman demagogue who “tells it like it is” and his cultists.

So u really don’t like what these “waterboarding” political celebs gotta say, huh (“they don’t agree with MY politics and worldview, so they should shut up!”). Here’s a tip: don’t watch. It’s that painfully simple. But as is customary, a bunch of individuals like yourself need to rage and obsess over Hollywood being non-reich wing. *Now waits for the reich to bring up diminishing ratings, in an age where tv-viewership isn’t what it used to be, even though it is mainly their kind that cry about these shows getting too real for them*
But lolz, as always the reich is going to spend a week crying about the show - and all things social justice in Hollywood - until they feel they got their fill (their whining over Hollywood being anti-reactionary in general shall continue tho). They shall obsess over it more than ANYBODY else. And I ask: who be the snowflakes again? XD In closing... forward-thinking actors and, as studies have shown, the majority of movie audiences whom are all for inclusivity and standing up for what’s good> the anti-Hollywood regressives who want to cancel an industry that no longer caters to them like before.

I have spoken.

agree 100%

The smug cloud filled L.A. by the time these walking windbags were done

I didn't know many of these films, especially the obscure ones. I guessed which ones would win just based on the posters, and I was mostly right. Of course Barack and Michelle's debut propaganda film was going to win as well.

Makes me glad I avoided it.

There was like two mentions of actual politics, with only Brad Pitt joke being the only direct one. You conservatives are the biggest snowflakes.
