I Don't Care About the Academy Awards (oscars)

[c=#7700B2]it is hilarious how people on some talk shows and whatever else on tv are saying that the Oscars had record low ratings due to there not being enough blockbuster movies..
haha how delusional are these people? stop trying to preach your politics on us and just celebrate the performances in the movies and so on.. no one cares what your views on Trump or anything like that... besides didn't these celebrities say they were all moving to another country? still waiting for them to leave.. the only sane people at the Oscars seemed to be Jordan Peele and Gary Oldman [/c]

As citizens, they can certainly have their say. I respect that many use their celebrity for something meaningful, as opposed to folks like the Kardashians, for example...

@bijouxbroussard [c=#7700B2]trying to force their views on others isn't really meaningful and also blacklisting anyone from those events who show a difference in opinion.. its crazy. I would rather watch the Kardashians compared to having to listen to people at the Oscars speak about pollitics[/c]

@PlumBerries Who was blacklisted ?

PlumBerries · 31-35, F

[c=#7700B2]I never bothered to find out exactly who.. was just watching things on it on tv and that was mentioned several times[/c]

@PlumBerries I’d want to know more a few details before accepting that as gospel.

PlumBerries · 31-35, F

[c=#7700B2]its not that hard to believe when you think that everyone who goes to those Oscars, share the exact same opinions? doesn't make sense [/c]

@PlumBerries Many who go into that line of work are progressives. Not everyone, but a majority. The same way conservatives are largely representated in the military and law enforcement.

[c=#7700B2]they didn't mind all turning a blind eye to all the sexual harassment going on in that industry till just recently though did they? they certainly love preaching about metoo movement and all that stuff but yet they just let it all go on for so long... just saying[/c]

@PlumBerries Should they have just continued to keep quiet for the sake of their careers ? Sexual harassment as something one doesn’t have to accept is a fairly new concept. People in the entertainment business have spoken of the “casting couch” since silent films.

PlumBerries · 31-35, F

[c=#7700B2]my point is they did all keep quiet on it to further their careers till only recently people decided to speak out on it and like sheep they all followed.. even Oprah who wants to run for president is good friends with Harvey Winestein, you think she honestly knew nothing about all the sexual harassment he was apart of? I'm trying to say that they are just all hypocrites[/c]

@PlumBerries Better late than never, I suppose. I don’t know how it’s going to play out longterm, tbh. All of these male celebrities who have been accused now, are they ruined, or will they quietly continue to work, the way Woody Allen, Stephen Collins and Roman Polanski apparently have ? Time will tell.

PlumBerries · 31-35, F

[c=#7700B2]that is another thing I hate.. These male celebrities are getting accused left right and center and they are just deemed guilty and it has like you said ruined their careers to a extent yet, Roman Polanski is accepted still.. it is backwards crazy there.. Sure better late than never I agree, what I don't agree with is them preaching to us how wrong all that stuff is yet they let it continue for so long.. plus Oscars is meant to me about the talent that went into those movies and to celebrate the hard work they did, yet not it is all about politics and movies are the back burner.. I just don't agree with it is all and I'm assuming since it is record low in the ratings that many many people agree[/c]
