I don’t care she presented an award, but now that I read she was going on about “no matter what you look like, or who you love” what was that all about?

Supporting racists and perverts worldwide...

Not on my behalf, however.

This is a totally serious observation.
Bill O'Reilly just mentioned that a billion people worldwide watched the Oscars. Got me to thinking.

Why did politics get introduced as a surprise? Would the worldwide audience have been as large had it been announced ahead of time? I seriously, seriously doubt it. I believe the total audience would have significantly (and justifiably) reduced. At least 50 million in the US alone.

Speaking for myself, I NEVER watch this circle jerk. I did this time curious about the reception of the Les Miz movie. The sudden appearance of the "moving on up" sasquatch was an unexpected intrusion totally lacking in taste.

I hope the sponsors remember to disclose the political contribution to the everlasting campaign of the Great Uniter.
