    "I'll smelt my Oscars if the Academy awards doesn't let Zelensky speak!"

    Wow, his virtue is so good I can't look at it directly, because it would blind me, lol.

    Yep, it's this year's Oscar's ceremony.

    Prepare for next-level celebrity virtue signalling ...

    No one should listen to these people. Most are uneducated - they either dropped out of school or only did drama, and does anyone remember who did drama class at school? Never the bright kids ...

    Hopefully the Oscars continues to hemorrhage viewers as they drop further into irrelevance in people's lives.

    I'd rather hear from the democratically elected leader of Ukraine than the Democrat's CIA puppet with a green-screen.

    As soon as I saw 'Guardian' I switched off. Any intelligence that is in me gets removed by the Guardian. that's why I won't touch it with a barge pole.

    I find these actor types, who only have no originality because they only repeat other people's words from a script, tend to virtue signal for their own attention.

    I ignore them. So should everyone else.

    You'll usually find that those that try to show virtue and purity so vehemently are usually hiding their own sins.

    Zelinskyy is no Saint either.

    Remember a few years ago when it was "Oscars so White"? Now it's two black guys fighting on stage ...

    Way to "represent", and also teach that violence is the answer to a joke you find insulting. I don't recall anyone getting up to hit Harvey Weinstein for anything he did (but lots of gushing praise).

    These are not people anyone should goto for life advice, although they think they can and should lecture everyone on what to believe and how to live.

    Its not the first year I didn't watch it (it's in the the same bucket as the Olympics - there are better things todo with your time than give it to these people). But without reading anything else about it, I can guess the theme of the night:

    I'm going to constantly say "gay" and pretend that it makes me clever and ignore that the law is about preventing pedos from grooming children. This is Hollywood, we're built on devouring youth!

    "Ukraine, Zelinsky Biden", repeat ad nauseam. Maybe throw in some TDS for old time-sake.

    Actress showing her tits in a revealing dress to get attention will claim women are objectified and not paid enough, even though she earns more than 99.999% of people on the planet.

    At least an on-stage fight is unexpected. Which makes me think it's staged for publicity to try and bolster flagging viewing figures by turning it into something like the Jerry Springer show.

    I read this after posting. Maybe I was off on the specifics, but right about it being a shit-show. Imagine being in a room where people are trying to come up with ways to resuscitate the Oscars ... and someones suggestion was "Amy Schumer" and they were taking seriously!

    My wife showed me the video this morning after saying, "The Oscars seem have really gone to shit."

    I watched. I said, "Looks fake."

    I re-watched the incident. Smith appears to laugh at the joke, looking up at the stage. His wife gets it and rolls her eyes. He continues to laugh. It takes a while for it to sink in... hence your point above.

    Orrrrrr it was #fake #setup

    Did anyone besides me notice Venus and Serena Williams at the Oscars Ceremony? What's the deal??? Is The Watchtower now allowing JW sisters to go topless? Well, maybe that will keep people from chasing them off their porch so quickly.
