Oscars Expect Sun,but Ready for Rain on Show Day

ike the annual Tournament of Roses parade, the Oscars are usually blessed with standard Southern California weather: sunshine and blue skies.

That could be the case again this year, but not until the first major storm to hit Los Angeles this winter gives the area a major dousing.

The National Weather Service predicts heavy rain Thursday night and Friday, with showers Saturday that could continue through Oscar Sunday.

"We're prepared to welcome our guests regardless of the weather," said Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences spokeswoman Teni Melidonian, adding that she expects clear skies for the big show.

Hollywood Boulevard is already blanketed with red carpet, which is protected with plastic wrap. The whole arrivals area — the carpet, fan bleachers, interview stages and photographers' risers — is topped with a clear plastic tent that stretches from the intersection of Hollywood and Highland boulevards to the front of the Dolby Theatre.

I love the rain. I’d be happy with about 20 hours of rain every day.

Ah, yes. The Oscars.

When Hollywood salutes its-(politically correct, hyper-leftwing, anti-American, anti-military, and anti-family)-self.

The humorous irony is that best (anything) is nearly always connected with the also-ran films, those that few pay to see in a theater (exceptions exist).

I wonder what Jennifer Lawrence is. I don’t think she is a poor leftist celebrity that is for sure. I bet she is a Republican…perhaps a RINO due to social issues, but again I am not sure. Although I guess I should be thankful that she “shuts up and acts”.

With Jennifer Lawrence, I am on the fence about her, she said that she is a supporter of the 2nd Amendment, but she also recently said that people should not refer to anyone as “Fat” on TV..so not sure what she is

I saw that too, but forgot. I think she was called fat by some fans or paps and feels like it should not be done. I don’t know but people can be mean especially towards actors who gain a pound or two. Jennifer Lawrence is hardly fat, but depending on her hair style, her face can look filled out. Not sure if what I write is BS and she really said it for political reasons.
