Well, so much for trying to keep politics out of yet another idiotic awards show. This time the chosen venue for those on the left to spew their leftist drivel was ‘The Oscars’. While the producers of this montage of insanity had put out a plea to those who would be participating to keep the politics to a minimum, but such was not the case. But with this bunch of losers, that should have been a foregone conclusion.
Anyway it would seem that what the producers were
hoping to avoid, that being a ratings disaster, is now all the more evident now
that the dust has settled The 90th Oscars. The early ratings numbers are not looking too good
for ABC. As was expected the show was
heavy on criticism of conservatives and conservative causes, targeting
President Trump, Vice President Pence and the NRA among any number of others.
To say that this ‘awards’ show was anything other
than uneventful and very predictable, would be an understatement, which may
have also contributed to historically abysmal ratings. Early returns for the four hour telecast
indicate that this may be the lowest-rated Oscars in modern history. The Hollywood
Reporter reports that the broadcast suffered a ratings loss of 16 percent from
last year.
But it’s not just the Oscars that’s suffering. America has grown tired of the moral posturing
of these ignorant superstars and aren’t watching other awards shows like the
Golden Globes and the Grammys. And what,
pray tell, are Americans missing by not tuning in? Things like host Jimmy Kimmel praising the
emasculated Oscar award for being the “most beloved and respected man in
Hollywood.”
It was in describing the coveted statue that Kimmel
said, “And there’s a very good reason why: Just look at him. Keeps his hands
where you can see them, never says a rude word, and most importantly, no penis
at all. He is a literal statue of limitations.” At least Kimmel didn't start crying
during his opening monologue. But hey, not
to worry, no doubt he’ll back to his normal gig each night this week.
Let’s face it, the writing was on the wall for this
ratings disaster. Almost every other
award show suffered massive audience erosion and there was no movie nominated
for Best Picture for anyone to root for. Seven of the nine nominees averaged just $47
million at the box office, which means only about 5 million people saw
them. And bringing Kimmel back for
another round as host was simply asking for it.
Kimmel is one of the most divisive and polarizing
figures in the country, a Trump-hating-kook-of-a-leftwing-Democrat who regularly
lectures the rest of us about embracing socialized medicine and giving up our
guns. With Kimmel as host, what the
Academy basically telling 50 percent of the country was to go watch something
else. Which, apparently, many apparently including yours truly.
On top of insulting President Trump, as well as
those who chose to vote for him, this Oscar telecast also promised to be a lecture
in favor of gun control by a bunch of elitists protected by hundreds of armed
guards and against sexual harassment by elitists who are either harassers or
enablers. As the early ratings show, even Democrats were not interested in
watching that kind of self-serving hypocrisy.
If Sunday night’s telecast signaled anything,
though, it’s that Hollywood is going the same way as the state-controlled media,
formerly known as the ‘mainstream’ media. With their ratings and credibility gone,
and knowing they have lost Middle America forever, both institutions are
blatantly and belligerently moving further and further to the left in the hopes
of at least holding on to their base of support.
At a time when technology gives us entertainment
choices beyond what anyone could have possibly imagined, the Hollyweird branch
of entertainment consistently alienates one half of the U.S. population. It represents the most idiotic move by the
elites in an industry where revenue is a direct result of paying audiences. Stupidity, arrogance and lack of intelligent
judgement has never been so prevalent in any other industry.
My wife and I used to take in a movie a week and did
so for years. But these days after figuring
the cost of the tickets, and the cokes-popcorn-candy it got to be about $40
bucks every time for just the two of us.
But we just got tired of all the leftwing rants a few years ago gave it
up, and I'm now saving $160 a month. So
thank you Clooney, Hanks, De Niro, and all the rest! You'll never get another dime from me.
And you know, just where is it written that this is
entertainment? Hate, hate, hate, resist
Trump, resist tax cuts, resist religion, confiscate everyone’s firearms, blah,
blah, blah. The message of the left is
self-destruction and I want none of it. The
truth is people do not like self-righteousness in any form, including the
posturing and self-aggrandizing behavior of uneducated, self-absorbed ‘celebrities.’
Hollyweird doesn't get it though. Quit trying to ram
your politics down our throats, it is a form of intellectual and cultural rape
and we are tired of it. Sure, Americans
don’t really care to watch those who “play make believe” for a living take part
in what is nothing more than an orgy of self-congratulatory verbal masturbation
while attacking and attempting to destroy the nation’s morals, standards, and
culture.
Isn't it ironic that while these hugely compensated
stars are always in some awards show, the real heroes like our military,
police, fire, and other first responders never get anywhere near these kinds of
accolades. I mean you have a group of
people, these so-call celebrities, most of whom don’t even have a high school
education. And yet they somehow view
themselves as being far more enlightened than the rest of us.
