  1. “Best Screenplay written by a black trans woman”. Oh yeah, that’ll sell in Ohio.

    Can I have “Career ending decisions for $400, Alex?”

  2. So the winner of “Best Picture” should no longer be confused with the best picture. No problem. File it along with the Nobel “Peace Prize”, aka “Liberal darling of the year award”.

    1. “the Nobel “Peace Prize”, Trump nominated for NOBEL… The Ann-Frank Jews will go Crazy….CNN blow themselves up as the EU Marxist’s go into the Dust-Pan of History….Trump will only win if he concedes to Sleepy Joe… The Bitch & the Mutt team….

  4. Haven’t watched the oscars in years. No reason to start now. Largely have stopped going to movies other than those with a positive message.

    Watch zero sports now.

    On the upside now have picked up and dusted off the guitar.

    1. Thank goodness for Turner Classic Movies, though its programming has slowly become politically correct after Robert Osborne died a few years ago.

      I, too, gave up going to movies a long time ago. I’ve seen some recent ones on TV and wondered what all the fuss was about.

      For example, Hurt Locker won a Best Picture Oscar. I found it slow and tediously boring. It’s the sort of flick one can paint a house by. While a coat is drying, go back to watching the movie and not miss a thing.

      1. I am strongly thinking of cancelling cable TV and Netflix (waiting to see if they stream Season 5 of “Outlander” this fall).
        I have discovered that I can hook up to YouTube via my smart TV and am having a lovely time watching old BBC TV Mini-Series – such as the Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple, all of the Minette Walters psycho-dramas AND have discovered all of Alfred Hitchcock’s movies from the 1950’s. Watched “It Takes a Thief” on Monday night – had only ever seen it in bits and pieces before. A more innocent time and everyone was a lot slimmer – the villains were fat. My sister is catching up on old seasons of “Vera”. We are good for the winter.

        1. My wife loves Outlander too. I got her 4 season’s worth on DVD/BluRay for Christmas, for less than a year’s subscription. That way we’re not paying for the Obamas.

          My son did one better though, the Downton Abbey movie. Mine was half expected, his was out of the ballpark.

    2. Canceled all the sports on my cable package and picked up my guitars also.
      I have more time in the day to take care of me and others

  5. Biden shoulda said eff minorities. I’m going to have the best possible candidate be the VP.

    Still get the black women. But seriously. Gives her more street cred.

    Just give the Oscar to the diverse pic. Don’t telegraph it.

    I hate giving free advice to the left.

  6. A poseur-fest with almost no relevance to most people is now compelled to be less relevant, if that’s possible. It hasn’t been much about the “art” since the days of David Lean

  7. Does anyone Really give a rats meow about the Self Flagellation Show – AKA the Oscars…??

    Let them take their self nominated crummy award and Fack Off back to their pedo circle jerk. If anyplace on EARTH is Truly deserved of Burn Loot Murder and their NAZI Bedfellows…?? Its HollyWood.

    NERO would approve.

  8. “Money” is the true power and lever in Hollywood. They have been losing relevance and box office revenue for years now. Their Oscar show has been hemoraging viewers for over a decade. I guess they think this wokeness will somehow reverse these factors and save them. Good luck with that. Even Chinese movie-goers will tire of this moral preaching eventually.

  10. I like action-adventure, sci-fi stuff. Stupid comedies. Movies, like sports are for getting away from crap, especially politics. Its rare the best picture makes a pantload. Would you rather win an award for your efforts or make money?

    1. Movies, like sports are for getting away from crap, especially politics.

      I believe it was Sam Goldwyn who said “If you want to send a message, call Western Union.”

    1. In the past, actually winning an Oscar meant something and there were movies that actually earned them, such as Lawrence of Arabia or A Man for All Seasons.

      1. Right up until Drugstore Cowboy. That was the jumping of the shark for us not in the room.

        With that choice, and all after, they didn’t give a #!$$%$^

  15. Generally, the “Best Picture” award is a warning to not waste your money. The new requirements will guarantee it. If you don’t heed the warning, that will be two hours of your life you won’t get back.

  16. So … essentially … Hollywood will now be officially codifying what has been obvious for the last 50 years. That the Oscar Winners and nominees will always display themes and portrayals of radical leftism. Nothing has changed. Meh.

  17. If only it was possible for myself to give less of a rats @$$ about Hollywood self adoring prima-donnas and the Oscars.

  18. I stopped watching the Oscars (and other award shows, like the Golden Globes) several years ago, because I got sick and tired of the actors’ endless preaching of the “woke”gospel. I have however continued to go to the movies. Thanks Hollywood, for now giving me a reason not to watch the movies, either. Thankfully, there are lots of other ways to spend my time and my entertainment budget.

  19. “The Odd Couple” – OSCAR SONG”

    Who cares about new rules?

    I care about Tradition!

    I now like to record the Academy Awards even though they’ve become political. The reason being is that I’ve never missed them in living memory and as a fashion nut I want to see what people are wearing. I usually fast forward and eliminate 99% of the speeches. It takes away the pain of lengthy talk from people who all say the same thing. Also, most often, I have to see what movies to look for on cable because I usually miss them at the theatre.

    Last year I was pleasantly surprised when Brad Pitt won an Oscar for his role in the Quentin Tarantino flick, “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.” He deserved it. That movie I did see at the theatre. Went during the daytime, the place had less than a dozen viewers. It was most enjoyable.
