Oscars
 

Guillermo del Toro showed again that he is one of the best film directors.
The Shape of Water won best picture.
Pans Labyrinth is still his best.
Hellboy might be second.

Whatever.

The awards have become too divisive and political for us. Years ago my wife planned her entire day around the awards, now she insists the TV is not tuned to the show or any related coverage.

I have rarely seen the movies, so its hard to get excited about the awards.

Don't care about who is wearing who's dresses, not much there for me.

I saw The Shape of Water...better than most of the past year..imo
The pre-show is worthless. About the same as the hours of pre-super bowl.
Kimmel was good, as usual.

I like movies. I like actors when they are acting but when they get the opportunity to speak in their native tongue, I rapidly lose interest. Didn't watch.

I didn't realize the virtue-signaling festival occurred last night until seeing the news this morning.

There was a new Top Gear on last night.

Didn't realized anyone still watched these pompous, pedophile loving communists.

I go to movies that interest me, and are a 3 hour diversion from reality, which is usually waiting in the mall parking lot when I leave. I don't really care who stars in the film, or who directed it, but mostly just go off of the short clips I have seen/trailer, or word of mouth to determine if it's something I want to see.

I think I saw one of the new films this year, and don't know much about the remainder of the hopefuls. I'm not a movie junkie, and therefore could care less about the Oscars.

Kimmel should set an example and cut his own penis off. Assuming he has one.

I heard he drives a Porsche :)

I've always thought the Oscars were boring, I could care less.
Del Toro filmed a good chunk of Crimson Peak just down the street from me, but I still haven't seen it, I've never have been much of a horror film buff.

Our Prez staged another, "I luv me" rally last night?!

I haven't seen Crimson Peak. I will sometime soon.
Pans Labyrinth is one of his that is very under-rated.

Yawn...to care any less than I do, I'd have to be dead.

I know several Hollywood people socially through a friend of my wife. They're even more full of themselves and less I impressive in real life.

What? Another "we're rich and beautiful and you're not" event?

Gosh...I missed it. The World Pool Masters tourney was going on in Gibralter over the past weekend. Much better skill was being shown without any political comment. One of the referees had a kinda "sexy young librarian" schtick going... She worked the semifinal between Jayson Shaw of Scotland and Shane Van Boening from South Dakota. Here's a link..

Just a bunch of goofy, narcissist, entitled prima donnas who would not be successful in any other activity that took more than half a brain...who somehow seem to think they are more enlightened than other Americans and should tell us how to think. They should stick to the one thing they know...how to make those violent, pedophilloic, anti-American films (now that they have stopped casting couch interviews). Of course this time, instead of children or members of the same sex (now that straight men are taboo in Hollywood)...they celebrate a movie about a woman having sex with a fish. Is that beastiality or...just fish sticks? If that is the best film of the year...then that just shows how far Hollywood/the Oscars have fallen. We might as well have a bunch of low-information pro athletes talk down to us with their gutter language, 2nd grade sentence structure and childish viewpoints about politics and why they should not stand for the flag/national anthem...oh wait.

Yeah, well paid actors patting each other on the back for extra recognition to go with their fame and millions... Not for me... Until they give oscars to nurse of the year, paramedic, teacher of the year etc...

I thought Shape of water was the worst movie I ever saw - a bad twilight zone episode, done and redone 40x before - goes to show you I know nothing about art... Happy for Gary Oldman though, that was a great performance as Churchill... I heard Eddie Vedder at some point (not watching - wife watched parts of it), almost went to see that but resisted the urge.

Kimmel has no right to bust on Trump, after hosting 'The Man Show'.
