I doubt I have to remind everyone that Hollywood's annual orgy of self-congratulation is Sunday (a day of self-worship), or that Hollywood has firmly established itself as an enemy of morality, conservatism, and America. I urge all FReepers to tune out this disgusting spectacle and find something else to do (don't you have a lint trap that needs cleaning?).
I suspect most of you won't watch anyway, but for those who think it's a harmless diversion, please consider that passive acceptance is active support. Do not fall prey to the glitter and allure of the cults of personality. There is hardly anyone in Hollywood worthy of your respect, let alone your admiration. And the few that are are unlikely to be nominated for any of these hollow awards.
This year, with the "controversy" about the Academy's failure to meet their black tokenism quotas, the spectacle promises to be even more repulsive than in the past.
Do not give aid and comfort to our enemies.

Actually, I was not aware of that. I knew it was some time this month or next month, more or less, but that's all I knew. By Sunday, I will have forgotten, and I will be doing something useful instead of watching TV.
I’ve been doing so for years now. Can’t do any more than that again this year.
Stopped watching years ago, when the red ribbons appeared.
I dislike The Revenant intensely, its a beautifully shot Road Runner movie, in the sense that Leonardo DiCaprio keeps falling down and getting up, and who cares? I don’t.
