Default Oscars boring? You've got to be joking!

Seeing is believing I suppose.

Some fake drama to generate flagging interest in fake awards for fake people.

Looked too neat to be real.



Unfortunately, I had much more important things to do at this time.. like cutting my dog's nails.

That's great. I couldn't find my glasses so the dog was reading the paper to me. Unfortunately, satire and humor is lost on him. Next up is another farce of an awards show, the Grammy's. My Dog hates rap and hip hop and informed me we aren't watching that either. The cats are none too fond of the shows as well.

The first academy awards ceremony was in 1929 and lasted 15 minutes. It has been going down hill ever since then.

The Oscars have been garbage because so many times they have given the award to something which clearly had a superior competitor, for example:

The Sound of Music winning Best Picture over Doctor Zhivago
Oliver winning over 2001: A Space Odyssey
Shakespeare In Love winning over Saving Private Ryan

And the documentary category has always sucked. You can pretty much spot what is going to win by the subject matter, not how good the documentary is.

Chris Rock can take a punch, but the left can't take a joke.

Well if i gave you a Marine slap or pre rainbow army slap you would have a dislocated jaw. And that would be just a slap. These are all actors that covid put straight to DVD and the country forgot about.Who cares CGI looks better anyway and it's cheaper.

I have watched to Hell an Back more than one time. Audie was the most decorated soldier of his time. Today i can not imagine. They have done a good job of scrubbing Audie along with Sgt.York from the local library.Along with Huck Finn,Robinson Crusoe even Old Yeller. Yes how is the new america any different than late 1930's Germany. Oh nothing against you Germans. it's a time point, a beginning to and end. America started its journey on November 4, 2008 and if there is any one left past 2022 they can write the end to America.

I thought being slapped in the face by a big willie was something else.
