Eight Simple Ways to Liven Up This Year’s Academy Awards
Pajamas Media ^ | February 21 | Kyle Smith

De-gayify. Oscar wants to rebuild its viewership and it hires as its producer … the guy who made Dreamgirls? If there’s anything Oscar desperately needs, it’s to get rid of its showstopping (i.e., funstopping) song-and-dance numbers. No disrespect to our gay brothers and sisters, but perhaps they can be persuaded to watch even without those excruciating Broadway interludes. And if there were as many gay folks in the country as Oscar seems to think, then gay-themed movies (Brokeback Mountain, Milk, Batman and Robin) would do a lot better at the box office....

“Milk” and Sean Penn may win their Oscars.

If they do, look for speeches about gay causes. Look for them to say Harvey Milk fought discrimination, and his fight continues because of battles over same-sex marriage. They will say Harvey was against hatred in his day, and that this battle still has to be fought because of Proposition 8, yadda, yadda, yadda.

The Hollywood idiots have to prove over and over that they are good liberals.

I thought it was funny the year “Brokeback” was up for the Oscar. The gay activists praised the courage of the Hollywood community for making a love story about homosexual men.

Then, when “Crash” won the Oscar for best picture, those same gay activists said that the Academy members lost their guts in not voting for “Brokeback” for best picture. The activists attributed their fears to the climate of fear created by the Bush administration.

Presumeably in the open tolerant liberal Obama administration, it’s ok to have a gay movie win an Oscar. We’ll find out.

Any flick that has the slightest to do with homosexuality, oppressed peoples or anti-GOP/conservatives will win an award.

And this includes winners in every category from Best Movie clear down to Best Mangled Film Reels.

Wait and see.

The only decent movies are usually the nominees for Best Foreign Film.

Who watches that cr@p? My guess it's mostly the foreclosure class. Maybe with the bailout money they are actually a good target audience? As for myself, I'd rather watch a rerun of some old baseball game, and since I mostly don't like sports events where I already the outcome this puts the Oscars down near the whale poop for me.

DON'T WATCH THE ACADEMY AWARDS!

Hollywood has been an aider-and-abetter of the Marxists for a long while. Payback time begins now. Don't tune in -- deny them the ratings. (If you have cable or satellite, and you watch, you'll get counted as part of the ratings.) Spread the word!

I am pulling for Mickey Rourke, but the Fag Mafia will ensure that Sean Penn wins.

If that was for Leni Reisenthal, that was VERY FUNNY

If it's the annual grudge match between the Westbrooke Wildcats and the St. Katerina Kittens in the Manitoba Disabled Women-in-Wheelchairs Over-40 All Stars, what channel is it on Dish?

Wow!

I never miss that game!

Here is an idea ... why not make the Oscars a Pay-per-view"! Then the people who really want to watch that crap would make the effort and we could be spared the sanctimonious BS

Barring that, have the "Boys" host the show ... Beavis and Butthead. I'm sure they would generate some good ratings.

“Any flick that has the slightest to do with homosexuality, oppressed peoples or anti-GOP/conservatives will win an award.”

...yep, not to mention if a film is ridicules the American way of life....that’s why they love that fat f*ck Michael Moore and other self hating American producers.

....meanwhile “Gran Torino” and “Taken” are racking up big bucks at the box office.

I’m trying to remember the last time I watched the Academy Awards...I know I watched when Johnny Carson hosted, maybe once or twice with Billy Crystal. I think I remember Letterman bombing as host too.

Watching liberals congratulate each other for making liberally themed movies that I will likely never watch...no thanks. Lots of good stuff on DVD to see!

Grand Torino reminded me of one thing I have to do in my lifetime.

I have to own an M-1 Garand.

I have other rifles that shoot “better,” (Like my 6.5 Grendel) but I just have to own a Garand... and on my passing, will it to my Grandson.

FReepers will understand why.
