I cant believe we dont have odds in Vegas for that...long shot bets are famous there!!!
These people aren’t ‘stars’ they’re workers in the movie business.
What’s happened to Piers Morgan? He’s sounding more and and more like an alt right, extreme, knuckle dragging, deplorable right winger!
Maybe Jeremy Clarkson knocked some sense into him when he punched him.
The Oscars - Where is Al Qaeda the one time they could actually be useful?
Gary Cooper:
[on Hollywood] This is a terrible place to spend your life in. Nobody in Hollywood is normal. Absolutely nobody. And they have such a vicious attitude toward one another . . . They say much worse things about each other than outsiders say about them, and nobody has any real friends.
[October 1947] I feel very strongly that actors haven’t any business at all to shoot their faces off about things I know we know very little about.
They’re paid parrots to spout lines, and have been led to think they’re important. I have no idea who’s nominated or who the heck they are. I wish them record low ratings in the face of all their liberal activism.
And the length of the show is directly related to their self-importance and addiction to drama; I can’t imagine any reason it should go on more than 2 hours.
No, Hollyweird, feel free to make a******* of yourselves. The more decent people you drive away, the better off we will all be.
I never cared much about the award shows but I used to love to watch movies. Now I’m so sick of everything to do with Hollyweird that I hardly ever tune into a movie anymore.
Last year they broadcast the winner’s name and didn’t even get that detail right at the event itself.
Fake Oscars
Fake News
Back in the 90s, I never missed the Oscars. Of course, back then people actually saw the films that were nominated so they felt like they had some skin in the game. And they were good films! Sure, there were the occasional political comments but mostly the shows were fun.
Many are paid to take their clothes off as well; I don’t care what they think about ANYTHING.
This whole Weinstein affair showed just how classless much of this trash really is; when they “come out” years after making their millions, nobody points out they may have spared countless victims immeasurable agony if they’d said something WHEN IT HAPPENED. Instead, they took off their clothes and took the payment for prostitution services...
Let’s not be unkind——everybody knows tout Hollywood are “true believers.” In fact, Meryl Streep will be giving a devout reading of the “non-political Hollywood Creed”-—this is what all Hollywood truly believes. (hat tip Michael Kelly)
Hollywood believes President Bill Clinton. And has always believed him. Hollywood believed it when Clinton said he had never been drafted in the Vietnam War and believed him later when Clinton said he had merely “forgotten to mention” that he had been drafted in the Vietnam War.
Hollywood believed him when Clinton he said he hadn’t had sex with Gennifer Flowers and believed him later, when Clinton reportedly said he did bed her down.
Hollywood believes the president did not rent out the Lincoln Bedroom to celebrities, did not sell access to himself and the vice president to hundreds of well-heeled special pleaders and did not supervise the largest, most systematic money-laundering operation in campaign finance history, collecting more than $ 3 million in illegal and improper donations.
Hollywood believes that Charlie Trie and James Riady were motivated by nothing but patriotism for their adopted country.
Hollywood believed President Clinton when he conceded that his administration mistakenly obtained the FBI files of more than 300 people, including many top Republicans and believes it was the result of a “completely honest bureaucratic snafu” involving security clearances.
Hollywood believed Clinton’s chief of staff, Leon Panetta, when he told reporters that “obviously a mistake was made” and apologized to the people whose FBI files wound up at the White House. Hollywood believed Clinton when he said “I completely support” what my COS Panetta said about the affair.
Hollywood believed Vice President Gore when he said that he had made dunning calls to political contributors “on a few occasions” from his White House office, and believed him when he said that, actually, “a few” meant 46.
Hollywood devoutly believes in no controlling legal authority....but not for Nixon or Trump.
Hollywood believed Bruce Babbitt when he said that the $286,000 contributed to the DNC by Indian tribes opposed to granting a casino license to rival tribes had nothing to do with his denial of the license. Hollywood believed the secretary when he said that he had not been instructed in this matter by then-White House deputy chief of staff Harold Ickes.
Hollywood believed him when he said later that he had told lobbyist and friend Paul Eckstein that Ickes had told him to move on the casino decision, but that he had been lying to Eckstein.
Hollywood agreed with the secretary that it is an outrage that anyone would question his integrity.
Hollywood firmly believes in the “Clinton Standard” of adherence to the nation’s campaign finance and bribery laws, enunciated by the president on March 7, 1997: “I don’t believe you can find any evidence of the fact that I had changed government policy solely because of a contribution.”
All of Hollywood’s accomplished wordsmiths noted with approval the use of the word “evidence” and also the use of the word “solely.” Hollywood believes, as Clinton does, that it is proper to change government policy to address the concerns of people who have given the president money, as long as nobody can find evidence of this being the “sole” reason.
Hollywood believes president Clinton lived up to his promise to preside over the most ethical administration in American history that indicted former agriculture secretary Mike Espy did not accept $35,000 in illegal favors from Tyson Foods and other regulated businesses.
Hollywood believes that indicted former housing secretary Henry Cisneros did not lie to the FBI and tell others to lie to cover up $250,000 in blackmail payments to his former mistress.
Hollywood believes that convicted former associate attorney general Webster Hubbell was not involved in the obstruction of justice when the president’s minions arranged for Hubbell to receive $ 400,000 in sweetheart consulting deals at a time when he was reneging on his promise to cooperate with Kenneth Starr’s Whitewater investigation.
Hollywood believes, as Harvey Weinstein does, that Paula Jones is a cheap tramp who was asking for it, that Kathleen Willey is a cheap tramp who was asking for it, and that Monica Lewinsky is a cheap tramp who was asking for it.
Hollywood firmly believes Monica Lewinsky was “just fantasizing” in her 20 hours of taped conversation in which she reportedly detailed her sexual relationship with the president and begged Linda Tripp to join her in lying about the relationship and that any gifts, correspondence, telephone calls and the 37 post-employment White House visits that may have passed between Lewinsky and the president are evidence only of a platonic relationship.
Hollywood believes, as all casting directors do, that such innocent intimate friendships are quite common between middle-aged married men and young single women, and also between presidents of the United States and White House interns.
Hollywood sees nothing suspicious in the report that the
president’s intimate pal, Vernon Jordan, arranged a $40,000-per-year job for Lewinsky shortly after she signed but before she filed an affidavit saying she had not had sex with the president.
Nor did insightful Hollywood with its finger on the pulse of America read anything significant into the fact that the ambassador to the United Nations, Bill Richardson, visited Lewinsky at the Watergate to offer her a job.
Hollywood producers, directors, authors and screenwriters believe the instructions Lewinsky gave Linda Tripp informing her on how to properly perjure herself in the Willey matter simply wrote themselves.
Hollywood believes, as does Hillary, that The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, Newsweek, Time, U.S. News & World Report, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, PBS and NPR are all part of a vast right-wing conspiracy to malign the saintly Clintons.
Really? Piers, you are part of the problem, don’t tell me you’ve seen the light!
I may have watched an awards show back in the early 90s... seriously though, it has zero interest to me. If they want to congratulate each other on what they think is a job well done.... fine. Even if I agreed with them I wouldn’t bother watching. Pretty people in expensive effed up clothing. Yawn. But throw in all the hypocritical, anti American BS... I’ve got a cat and a laser pointer that I’d rather waste time with. Or maybe polish the chrome on my Harley, or clean a couple of firearms.
God I abhored that Unforgiven movie, sick stuff
Just another boring show where pompous celebrities give each other more awards. (yawn!) Not watching.
The buzz is the requisite “goodie bags” given to starlets will contain some new items:
pepper spray
brass knuckles
test kits for checking
whether your drink was spiked
app to contact law enforcement
chastity belt
attack dogs
Unfortunately no beheaded Hollywood stars.
