Why are there still separate categories for Best Actor and Best Actress? Don’t the Oscar people feel gender is fluid?

Good point.... why aren't there 197 Best _____ whatever awards since the left has tried so hard to convince us that this is the number of genders out there (with new ones arriving every day)? What they are doing sounds pretty discriminatory to me!

The last time I watched the Academy Awards Billy Crystal was the MC, and Return of the King won 11 awards.

I also believe it was the last time I had watched any film that had been nominated for any award.

What? And have one week per year when Hollywood isn’t showering itself with awards?

Hmmm...

Now, hold on now. Not that many years ago I would watch the Oscars while posting to the Oscar thread on Free Republic. It was great fun.

I haven’t watched in years because, even before the scandals, I had lost interest in both movies and Hollywood.

And sometimes I did wear a housecoat back in the day.

Need a new clean comedian to host—maybe Jay Leno— And keep politics out of the commentary —Make all jokes simple and even handed. Do not mention Hillary, Trump, or any controversy.

Although he’s no conservative, Billy Crystal was probably as good as you were going to get as an Oscar Host.

Weren’t the Oscars started because of all the sex scandals in Hollywood? They were trying to clean up their image.

Maybe a terrorist Jacket Bomb will open the festivities this year. Maybe fire hoses filled with face eating acid. Promises to be a good one.

Have the military drop bombs on Hollywood that would get people watching.

Does anyone still watch that crap?

The the winnah IS Harvey Weinstein for “Predator of the Year” in the Director Sexual Bully category...

Hey Harvey - hire a hooker - that's what sex workers are for... they can even pretend to be humiliated and shamed since that appears to be your sexual kink... Leave the young actresses alone.

“What’s an Oscar?”

The grouchy Sesame Street character who lives in a trash can.

For me, when Marlon Brando had a stand in. That was a long time ago.

Niven said, "Isn't is fascinating to think that probably the only laugh that man will ever get in his life is by stripping off his clothes and showing his shortcomings?"

IIRC the streaker later died of AIDS.
