I remembered it was on but never tuned in.

I haven't watched the Oscars in over 10 years. I used to love it, we were film buffs and friends were being nominated for best picture and best screenplay. Oscar night used to be a favorite family TV night for us. No longer. The utter hypocrisy of a bunch of jet-setting actors using their shining awards moment as a strident political soapbox sucked the joy out of the process for us.

You are actors, directors, writers, and sound artists that have been chosen to receive an award for excellence in your field. This is not your political soapbox. Honor the moment, dress nice, be polite, collect your lovely award, and thank those who helped you to make such an amazing moment possible. Now STFU and go sit back down. It seems there are about 20 million former loyal Oscar viewers with similar sentiment to ours. Soon they will be handing out the Oscars at a local Denney's restaurant to a viewing audience of 40.
