The Oscars

[dreamyxo]

Not me I  could care less.

Come on now, every movie buff has got to watch the Oscars for at least a little while.

I'll consider letting some of you slide, if you, spend some time googling and watches clips or rebroadcasts online.

did not watch the oscars,,  could have cared less.   to much politics and stupidity.  Watched The Walking Dead !!!!  So much better

My personal feeling is that the Oscars ceremony is a complete waste of my time and insults my intelligence. I am interested in who wins, but I'd much rather spend 90 seconds to read that information the morning after than spend hours upon hours to watch it live and be inundated with political viewpoints that I (mostly, but not entirely) disagree with.


When the award shows (this includes more than just the Oscars) became more about politics than the field of entertainment they honor - they became dead to me.  I watch actors and athletes and listen to musicians for their talent because that is what they are good at.


I watch political debates and news sources that I find reliable for political opinions and I go to church on Sunday to listen to someone that I respect preach to me. When an entertainer or athlete gets onto one of these podiums - I turn off the TV or radio or whatever media they spew from and I chose to direct my attention to something much more worthwhile of my time.

I don't like to spend a whole evening watching the Oscars. I prefer to watch the following day when the best parts are highlighted in the news.

I'm not watching the Oscar, I've had enough of politics & virtue signaling & don't always feel like being preached at while the people doing the preaching are the ones engaging in the behavior they are preaching against.

Sometimes I just like mindless entertainment that is positive & just an escape from reality for a couple hours.

Heard they went pretty well!  Jimmy kimmel did a great job I bet!

I had no interest in the Oscar's. Too long and boring for me. I'm sure I'll see a list of the winners and who was best dressed on line somewhere 

[Timely214]

Yay! Responding way to late to something that happened long enough ago that no one will give three craps if I have anything to do with or have anything to say about it until it really isn't anything important anymore. I didn't watch, but I followed along as much as I could.

When I was much younger I used to love all the award shows where there were movie stars.  I used to watch from start to finish.  However, by the time I got into my thirties, my interest started to decrease and I would usually turn the channel back and forth.  By my forties, I was pretty much done with these shows and just listen to the news next day for the winners and catch the highlights on shows like Entertainment Tonight.  That's enough for me!  Kind of tired of people making all that money trotting around in gowns and jewelry worth thousands of dollars and getting gift bags that they can afford themselves.

The best show to avoid......

Totally a waste of time.

Is long and boring.

I did not watch the Oscars because a large percentage will either be political, about sexual harassment, the inequities dealt to minorities or about power to women-none of which has to do with handing an award to the supposed best and brightest that Hollywood has to offer. I have watched eighty percent of the movies up for awards and thoroughly enjoyed all of them. Amazing actor's and actresses. If I turn on an award show to watch awards bestowed upon the best, that is what I want to see-not over payed people spewing their personal opinion on the travesty of life. I stopped watching the National Football League for precisely the same reason: I wanted to watch football-not overly priced steroid heads and an oppression movement. I work hard for my money, rarely have time to engage in entertainment, and now (pretty much) catch the results on the internet.

I wasn't interested in watching the awards show.  It's gotten to be very boring.

[JediJohnnie]

The Oscars is (or was) the only awards show that I used to watch, but this year I skipped it for the first time. It's not like I "boycott" it or something, but it just doesn't seem worth the effort anymore.
