What is this "academy awards" thing you speak of, and do you miss your man card? ;)

Ditto. Never have watched, never will. When I read about it in the news, the fewer names I recognize, the prouder I am.

When you have Piers Morgan complaining you know you have a problem....

"So by the time we got to Leonardo, my caring, sharing, right-on liberal heart was smashed to smithereens.
I had nothing left in the worthy issue tank.
My 'serious cause' locker was empty.
I just wanted someone, anyone, to stand there, clutch their award to their beating jubilant chest, and resolutely desist from the desire to lecture me about anything.
My prayers went sadly unanswered."

I know everyone is pissed because Vincent Price never won but that's no reason to go all racist on everyone

I generally don't care for Piers Morgan, but that was spot on, right there.

I mean really, the guy, Dicaprio, with his private jet, pulling again from the Hollyweird serious cause locker to lecture others about CO2 fears.... wow.

And Chris Rock promulgating racism . . doing what he can to keep that bent schtick alive. I mean, what does he have if he hasn't white guilt to leverage?

A bunch of self-stroking, out of touch, bubble-boys. . .AWARDS!!

ProQuest Document View - Solving for irrational zeros: Whiteness in mathematics teacher education

Solving for irrational zeros: Whiteness in mathematics teacher education
by Warburton, Trevor Thayne, Ph.D., THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH, 2015, 327 pages; 10010629

Abstract:

For many, mathematics and social justice are perceived as incompatible. Several mathematics education researchers have noted resistance to social justice among mathematics teachers. However, mathematics education has a consistently negative impact on the education of students of color. This study seeks to better understand the nature of this resistance by studying how preservice secondary mathematics teachers grapple with understanding social justice mathematics education

Racism exists....... it is a shame that all those acting millionaires have to deal with the injustice.... I am taking solace in the fact that they have an effective vehicle such as the academy awards to air their grievances....

That because folks are catching on to Tumblr for all their porn needs. Speaking of which, will you excuse me please, it's lunch-time!!!

Nice to see that while they were dealing with racism and embracing diversity they found the time to throw in a few Asian/ small dick jokes.

creaturecat 03-01-2016 09:28 AM

Chris Rock ruined it for me.
Racial diversity is the norm for film production employees in Vancouver.
The Grammys had a disproportionate black contingent. i did not here any complaints.

Bill Douglas 03-01-2016 09:29 AM

Al Sharpton should have got an academy award in the Tragic Faces category.

Umm Chris Rock. Surely in rehearsals someone would have said his speech is not OK. And if he is being paid, which I'm sure he is, it's not the time for a personal rant.

I know right.

Leo was whining about having to go to the Southern Hemisphere for snow and cold weather, well Leo, it's usually not cold and snowy here in the summer, you should have waited for winter. I mean Leo, the seasons are reversed, didn't anyone tell you, it's the winter here summer there thingy.

BeyGon 03-01-2016 09:43 AM

At least Chris's daughters sold some cookies to those white racists at the awards, to help with their white guilt.

pitargue 03-01-2016 10:03 AM

i hate the Academy Awards because it means it's time to get serious about doing taxes. It's just a timestamp event for me...

scottmandue 03-01-2016 10:19 AM

I'm a big fan of diversity and Chris Rock (though it is difficult to get past his potty mouth when he does standup)

I am not a big fan of award shows... to the point where I will not voluntarily watch any of them.

I am also not a huge movie fan, but my wife is so we occasionally go to a movie on date night. Therefore I don't have a encyclopedic knowledge base of all the moves that were available for awards.

I don't hear much from the protesters RE: who should have got an award that didn't?
