Will anyone be watching the Oscars tonight? I don't normally watch them but I there are some good stars tonight.
-
i will probably watch until i have to go play volleyball as nothing really on tv anyway
-
No, I won't be watching the award show tonight!
-
I used to like the Oscars years ago. There were so many more movie personalities that I really liked back then. Nowadays, there are only a few people that I care for and I haven't been following any of the new movies so, no, I will not be seeing this program tonight.

I always wondered if your username had anything to do with volleyball. Know I know. It's such a great game. I hope you have a good time.

i probably won't watch it i don't like award shows. they are way to long and boring :rainbow: :peace: :wave:
-
No. I'm so over award shows & the Hollywood hypocrites preaching... yawn. Good on them for achieving in their field, but I don't need to see it.
I do like to catch the fashion, which will be all over the internet tomorrow :)
-
Not anymore when stars make it all political!
:( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(
-
Nope....not really interested...get any details I need/want afterwards....too much drama/politics
-
Maybe, maybe not. If another show that I like is on at the same time, then no.
-
Nope. I find all award shows to be quite boring.
-
I used to watch the Oscars a long time ago but then I stopped. I guess I don't watch many (if any) movies anymore, so I stopped knowing who a lot of the actors were and if they were the best of the best or not. Also, I'm not a big fan of anything but fictional TV like dramas and comedies and the like. :peace: :heart:

i don't even waste my time watching anymore --and i used to never miss them ! i just am not interested in all the nonsense that happens anymore

I have the Oscars on in the background this evening. This year does appear to have some interesting nominees, although admittedly I don't go to the movie theaters that much anymore.
I did intend to see Bombshell before the Oscars, but haven't yet. I'm particularly interested in how the events at FOX were scripted for this movie because I was watching FOX News very closely in 2016, actually remembering the very moment Gretchen Carlson took a stand and left the air.
Even though it was a part of Megyn Kelly's past as an associate attorney in the '90s (working for Bickel & Brewer LLP's Chicago office before leaving and searching for her next opportunity) I also worked for Bickel & Brewer LLP (the home office in Dallas) on a high-profile case for Bill Brewer in '95, later turning down another case offered to me out of their Chicago office. I've since read the excerpt from her book about those times and had a great chuckle. Hmmm...maybe I should not have turned down that case? But, seriously, I was burned out by the case I had worked on.

I only watch briefly as I am changing channels and see something of interest.
-
Watched most liked Eminem he looked different. Heard he's been off drugs and alcohol. If there id be dancing. The rest of the show was ok. Liked steve martin and chris rock.
-
Nope haven't watched any in years. They're all rigged anyway.
-
I am so glad I didn't watch the Oscars. I was hoping the Irishman would win something and it did not. The choice that won best picture made no sense at all.
-
I will start watching the Oscars when they make Ricky Gervais' suggestion at the Golden Globes a reality. Since that will never happen, I don't have to worry about wasting 3+ hours of my life every year watching absolutely worthless and hypocritical jackasses and rich bitches preach at me about stuff that they have ZERO qualification discussing.
There is not a single award show out there that is worth a millisecond of my time or attention.
-
I used to watch the Oscars many years ago. That's when the Oscars were the only award show on TV and it used to be more like a holiday with party.Today, you name it-there's an award show for it. Plus they've all become political. I do think Ricky Gervais is fantastic and tells it like it is but it just doesn't get through the thick heads of the elites. They think his messages are for someone else.
-
I get both of your messages, UGetPaid and sfreeman8, and basically concur. I don't like wasting my time either. I am constantly evaluating what is of value to me and my life because our time is our greatest gift, IMO. The Oscars were a wonderful 'childhood' memory for me (and even back then there were politics as when Marlon Brando sent a young Apache woman to accept his Oscar in '73), but the Oscars and politics have been bedfellows long before that. My statements are not meant to sound preachy because I do agree that Ricky Gervais puts it out there and cuts through the crap.
Having said this, the 2020 Oscars proved to be entertaining {*shock*} for a change; plus, I like to see the 'In Memoriam' segment (I had it on while preparing dinner and working on FusionCash so I multitasked rather than give Oscars my full attention).
-
I don't like all the social commentaries they give on that show. It should be what it is called; an award show. If they want a social platform for their speeches, it should not be done there. :angry7:
I like how Juaquin Phoenix thanked the audience, but I didn't care for the way he launched into social issues later. He deserved the award for his performance in Joker. He was phenomenal. :star:
BTW, I didn't actually watch the Oscars, but I heard his comments later while listening to the radio.

Now why don't you tell us how you really think. ;)
-
I have not watched.
-
I don't watch them anymore
-
I recorded it so I could fast forward through the boring parts.
-
I have never cared for the awards shows. I don't know too many of the current actors/actresses. I don't watch much new stuff. Still stuck on the 60's, 70's and 80's shows.

You know, having read this, I will backtrack on my previous harsh comments. You are correct. The In Memoriam segment always was a crowd pleaser and I did always enjoy seeing that (when I still watched).
