I turned off the Academy Awards about twenty years ago. It's really strange to consider, as this article assumes, that people in the film biz believe their own hype and propaganda. When I was living in SoCal in the 1990's, I was invited to some private parties hosted by people in the film making biz. These film biz people are far more interesting in private. Many are bright and articulate. They do not have socialist political views that most Freepers assume they must have. Gays were not invited to any of the parties that I attended. I believe gay politics are being largely ignored by people in the biz. The Oscars are all tinsel, glitz and glitter. Gays are attracted to glitter like fish are attracted to fishing lures. 'Nuff said.
Sometimes I wonder if these people many of whom have no post high school education are simply spewing garbage from their mouth because they feel it is what is expected from them by their peers. I wonder if the absolute truth be known if in reality, some of these so called "stars" are more conservative than they say. I just don't see how one industry could have that nut cases in it.
