Where were you when you learned that drinking cows milk is evil? You were in front of the TV watching the 2020 Academy Awards, thats where. And if you werent, you heard about it anyway because its the only thing about this years Oscars that anybody remembers. The Joker scolded everybody for putting milk in our cereal, and he was totally not kidding.
Joaquin Phoenix was also one of the few Oscar winners this year who was in a movie anybody saw, so he should be able to say whatever he wants. I raise a glass of 2% and toast in his honor.
The hope that somebody will say something insane is pretty much the only reason to keep watching the Oscars. Will we get another memorable moment like that next year? Will there even be an Oscars next year?

Good better Best!
How about a 16th-century giltwood fainting couch? ;)
If you buy something like that at an auction, the price alone could make you pass out, couch or no couch.
What is the reason for even living now? (/S)
Wow
Does some work for Oscars each year.
That’s gonna hurt...
They still have Oscars? I haven’t seen that show since 1976.
One and the same for Weinstein.
They should have them in Beijing (excuse me, Peking).
I could see the woman falling all over trying to keep their balance with the shoes and gowns they wear.

Maybe they’ll call them the Naw-scars.
Nancy will be there with her spoon and tub of melting ice cream.
Yeah, just cancel them for good.
Quick, who won the Oscars last year?
I rest my case.
Awesome...a good start to forever...
When a question about the Academy Awards after the 1990s comes up on Jeopardy, I don't even bother to guess.
My observation, as the years go by, is that I haven’t even heard of most movies and actors/actresses nominated for Oscars.
There seems to be a tendency to nominate obscure movies which while they may be celebrated by the “in” crowd in Hollywood, many of us aren’t even aware of who these people are and what the movies are about.
I think I’m not the only one, when you see the Oscar TV ratings dropping off. How many people want to sit through a four hour awards show, to see which movie or actor you aren’t familiar with, beat out another movie or actor you aren’t aware of, to win a statuette?
The Academy awards are film people felicitating film people. If they want to keep doing so, let them.
We don’t have to watch.
I haven’t since about 1998 (no TV) so was blissfully unaware of Phoenix milk speech until I read this post of yours
