Well, the writers strike is over, the Oscars will go on and, by golly, we conservatives just can't wait to watch Hollywood pat itself on the back for another year of anti-American, anti-military, anti-traditionalist filmmaking. And while red-carpet anticipation is giving me the shivers, I can't help but imagine an alternative Oscar ceremony in a different kind of Hollywood with this list of exciting best picture nominees:

"Oono." Hilarity ensues when a 16-year-old girl finds herself pregnant and gives the baby away to a similarly unmarried neurotic so that the infant grows up to become a drug-addicted loser and dies of an overdose at 23, whereupon the hilarity abruptly stops.

FR is pretty slow today, or you’d have gotten more replies.

The author makes a good point. I’m old enough to remember PATRIOTIC movies.

Apparently more people enjoyed this blog than they did the Oscar telecast: According to news reports, the Nielsen ratings were 14% lower than any recent broadcast.

This only proves how far out of step Hollywood is with the rest of America.

Perhaps we may not have to wait too much longer, thanks in part to Walden Media and Roadside Attractions. These two production companies were responsible for bringing America “The Chronicles of Narnia” and “Amazing Grace”.
