Who will donate to the Democrats if Hollywood dies? Other than PP of course.

I don’t recall ever watching an Academy Awards show back when I had a TV. I can’t imagine watching people patting themselves on the back about what a good job they did even before each speech became an attack on Republicans. I’d rather go to the dentist.

I was always a movie buff and used to watch the Oscars to get a glimpse of the stars and to see clips from the nominated films. That was before home video. You saw a movie at the theater, and would not see it again unless it was sold to network television or re-released in theaters. I also used to collect soundtrack albums of my favorite films. That was why I used to like to watch the Oscars, to see brief glimpses of the best movies.

I began to lose interest in those things when home video started with the first VCRs in the late 70's. I no longer collected soundtracks as a reminder of a film when I could record or buy a copy of said film. Seeing clips on an awards show or a talk show lost their appeal.

Now that Hollywood no longer produces a product that interests me, and now that awards shows have turned into incessant GOP-bashing, I cannot imagine ever watching one again.

Laverne Cox should host. Can’t get more perfect than a black trans woman.

Might as well go without a host since they seem to go without an audience.

LOL! Good one.
