Most of my racist, homophobic, islamaphobic, xenophobic, sexist, and just generally bigoted fellow Republicans didn’t like the oscars at all. They objected to the continuous rant about race even though, for quite awhile now, black people have won more acting oscars than their share of the population. Indians, Asians, and Hispanics hardly ever win oscars, and nobody’s making a fuss about it. So there was that, and then all the usual suspects, glorification of homo and trans sexuality, the bogus rape epidemic, climate change alarmism, Leonardo DiCaprio whining about “corporate greed”, etc., etc.
Me, I just expect it. It’s Hollywood. Sure, it’s annoying and stupid, but Chis Rock was very funny, and even-handed in a Chris Rock kind of day. The man and woman on the street in Compton clips were hilarious. The pretty people were gorgeously dressed, there was good music, great movie clips. What’s not to like? It was a good show. I was entertained most of the time.
There’s an enormous amount of great acting, directing, writing going on these days. Who cares if they’re all a bunch of nitwit liberals. Hollywood has always been that way, with some exceptions, Reagan, Wayne, Kazan, Eastwood, James Woods, Jon Voight. Next year maybe they can get Trump to host, if he doesn’t consider it to be too far beneath the dignity of the President.
