the Oscars have become a popularity contest for queers, communists, perverts and all things un-American.

Yes, Heath Ledger was outstanding in “Dark Knight,” and he very much deserved the recognition. No, he was not a saint, by any stretch of the imagination.

That being said, I didn’t watch the Oscars at all, and I was able to get up the next day, check the internet listings of who won, and that was that. Why it’s still being televised is beyond me.

Only FIVE things? You were much too kind!

The show has become such a PC fest that it has all the suspense of a Globetrotter game. You have the 5 worst movies of the year that nobody, even the actors themselves like, listed as the best. You know the biggest homosexual struggle story will win. The only suspense is what color ribbon they all will be wearing. Who didn’t know the Milk story would win for PC SoddomWould reasons.

Now they can sit in their mansions and let the world know they care.

Pray for America and Our Troops

I haven’t wasted my time on the Ocsars, the Grammies, Beauty pageants, TV talent shows, etc., since the pre-cable TV days. Back when we had six channels all of these were 100 times more entertaining and real. You could say the same about the balance of the line-up as well. Night after night the wife and I flip through all the Direct TV channels and find nothing on worth watching, and night after night we resort to our DVD collection of TV programs back when TV was fun. Last night it was shows from the first season of Star Trek.

I hated Sean Penn’s sanctimonious speech about how playing a gay man in a positive light takes such courage.

Sean, when you make a movie showing Al Qaeda or Islam or Arab governments in a negative light.....that’s a risk. Or if you make a movie showing a democrat in a negative light....that’s a risk.

Presenting a gay man in a positive light nowadays is about as risky as saying you love ‘apple pie.’ Get off your high horse.

5 things? I only hate 2:

1 - The actors/actresses/parrots

2 - Their opinions, political and otherwise

[GOPJ]

liberal actors preaching at conservatives
endless self-glorifying narcissism
directors
movies
boring bullsh-t

I suspect, though I haven’t done the research to prove it, that the true value to the United States of any institution is in inverse proportion to the number of awards it gives itself. Hollywood and the Main Stream Media come immediately to mind.

right on

let’s throw in the gaudy hundreds of thousands of dollars of jewels- all borrowed

Are not these walking billboards rich enough to own their own jewelry? Does flaunting borrowed jewelry really help sell the jewelry?

I don’t watch it, either, but it should have been dominated by ‘Gran Torino’ and ‘The Wrestler’.Jmho.

[N. Theknow]

#2 - The Old Lady Cleavage - Don't get me wrong - If a woman has the goods, nothing wrong with flaunting it. However, once these ladies reach a certain age, let's face it - Gravity has won!!! And its time to cover up... I mean really - nothing is more repulsive that an old bag trying to look young and showing more than we need to see...

Rumor has it Aretha got a rose tattoo on one of her breasts when she was younger.

If so, it is now long-stemmed.

I haven’t heard it mentioned but there was a part where Tina Fey was helping to present an award. Since I am hearing impaired I use closed captioning and read what she was saying because there was a lot of audience noise. She introduced herself as Sarah Palin and then said some obviously stupid stuff. I don’t think the TV audience heard it but the stars in the audience were really laughing hard.
Tina Fey has turned into such a joke.
