![]() I cannot watch these spoiled, entitled actors during award season. I haven’t watched the Oscars in years. I was wondering how many people actually wet this anymore. Just curios.

![]() i watch all award shows and red carpets, at least in the background while doing something else - the globes, grammys, amas you name it! i find them entertaining. lots of botox and 70 yo people looking like they are 30, just like some of our favorite FMers. some good songs some bad, some great movies, some i don't care about or will never watch. some good jokes others bombing.

![]() Do you really not like people preaching politics or is it just people that preach politics that you don't agree with?

![]() I guess this years Oscars was the lowest rated ever. Like 20% Below last year. No wonder.

![]() You could not pay me to watch the Oscars. I just think its the most boring show in the world. 4 hours of mostly awards no one cares about. Now they have pre-shows that go on for hours about what people are wearing. I have no interest in any of this.
I have always believed its not the acting job but most times its the role being portrayed that gets the actor the award. But that is just MHO.

![]() when someone watches an award show or the NFL, they are watching it for entertainment, not to preached at by some self-appointed, spoiled butthole.

![]() I may not agree with most of the actors' politics, but I don't mind if they speak their piece. If they don't say anything, then I can't criticize it or critically think about it.
The beauty of free speech is that you get to criticize what they say. I don't believe in telling people to shut up and dribble or act. If they spew out stuff that you don't particularly like, then don't listen to them or don't watch their stuff. They have a right to speak and you have a right to criticize them or just don't listen to them. |

![]() Yeah, I'm aware of free speech being limited to what the government can and cannot prohibit. What are you paying for exactly? The opportunity cost? Don't answer this, I honestly don't care.
You know what you can do? You can DVR these shows and just skip over what you don't like. Oh wait, using the DVR still counts for the advertisers, so are you still not going to watch? Fine, good on ya. You know, if they don't talk, you don't know how 'wrong' they are in your view. What do you think Hollywood is? They've been preaching the liberal message in their Best Picture winner choices for practically the last decade. The winner is either a celebration of Hollywood or the actor or it's preaching a liberal message. Argo was practically Hollywood saves the day and The Artist was a celebration of the Silent Era. Don't get me started on the rest of whatever has won. At this point, their selection of winners is laughable that I don't hold any movie choices that they've made in the last decade in high regard. Until they start awarding Best Picture to films that people actually watched or that didn't preach a message to your face, I will start to respect the Academy once again. I like their picks for the 1970s the most. Also, this year's ceremony was almost 4 hours. That's ridiculous. Just record the thing and skip over the parts that you don't like or listen to Ben Shapiro's podcast for the 'highlights.' |

But you are even worse. You know what they are doing is wrong but pretend it isn’t because you agree with their political message. Everyone knows politics doesn’t belong in Award Shows or in Sports. That’s not what people are paying for. Actors and Athletes aren’t known for their intellectual ability anyway. Why would anyone listen to them? The bottom line is people pay for entertainment to forget their problems, not have it shoved in their face by self righteous, spoiled, rich liberals who don’t live like the rest us of do anyway. But you already know this and so does everyone else. Last edited by Jondalar; 03-11-2018 at 10:35 AM.. |

John Fogerty is/was a political activist. In 2004 he went overboard in attacking George Bush at all his concerts. And you know what? George Bush had John Fogerty songs programmed into his own Ipod and considered him one of his favorites. You must learn to separate your political views from everything in life. There is a full world of experiences out there. There is tons of liberal hypocrisy. But there is also conservative hypocrisy. Nugent has said way worse things about Obama than the Dixie Chicks said about Bush. Nugent was not banned from radio like the Dixie Chicks were. Nugent still has a career but the Chicks do not.

Who do conservatives have - Kid Rock, Scott Baio, Pat Sayjack and a few others versus everyone else in Hollywood. Hollywood can’t separate life from politics. That all they talk about. |

Yet you tried to silence me for my beliefs. And I didn't even say the things you claimed. Note, this is not a personal attack. It's just the truth. Do you stand by your statement from above? |
