yep. Everytime, there's a new gag that I missed.

This time, it was Lloyd Bridges, striking a pose in front of a picture of himself, striking the same pose. :-)

It used to be fun to watch when you actually liked the actors and actresses and the gowns were fabulous. Today you not only dislike the people, the clothes are awful. Each actress tries to see how low her dress can go and the one who gets closest to her pubic bone gets to scream #MeToo

Oscars have turned in a propaganda production. This time there was, I heard, lecturing regarding illegal aliens and how wonderful they are.

Folks, just like Obama & Clinton have killed the Democrat Party, the “Hollywood Elite, Low Life” have killed the Academy Awards. If the TV viewership numbers are anywhere near correct, that means that only seven (7) or eight (8) percent (26 Million) of Americans tuned in last evening....a literal, dismal, massive failure. Take that...Jimmy Kimmel!!!

Some winners in one of the lesser categories came up, and the man thanked his husband and the woman thanked her wife. Ugh....

It’s our fault for not wanting to be ignored, demeaned, abused, and controlled.

Clearly, the American people are tired of the crap from Hollywood. Too much intrigue, he said, she said stuff. Too much soap opera stuff.

5’9” to 5’3”.

Jennifer Lawrence is two inches taller than co-star in Hunger Games, Josh Hutcherson.

I read the book. Katniss was petite, second smallest candidate, as I recall; lethal long-range archery was what saved her. Peeta was actually big and strong, and the actor who played Cato, Alexander Ludwig, auditioned for that role, while the actress, Isabelle Fuhrman, who played his partner, Clove, tried out for Katniss.

Ludwig at 6’2”, and Fuhrman at 5’3”, would have been better, but lacked the current buzz to get the lead roles. If Fuhrman can sing, then she would have been far better: Katniss had a beautiful singing voice; it is pivotal to the story.

Lawrence has talent and presence, but she was not really appropriate for the role, and she cannot really sing.

She should shut up and not sing but act.

She should have an award for convincing Weinstein that she found him smart, funny and attractive.

Just like the NFL. Down nearly 20% for 2 years in a row.
Nominating terrible movies just because they are edgy and has “diversity” actors.

Actress Frances McDormand wants movies to be made by quota or she won’t make them. She herself would never get hired again as she is not the person the writer wrote about. She would have to act the part but with quotas she would not be eligible anymore. She is none of the characters so she would be unemployed.
