April 5th, 2022 10:09 AM
Goodness! What a night. During the live broadcast of the Academy Awards, actor Will Smith walked up to the stage and face-slapped comedian Chris Rock. When Smith returned to his seat, he unleashed a profanity-laced tirade -- muted by the show’s producer -- at Rock. What did Rock do to warrant the attack?

April 2nd, 2022 1:30 PM
Hard-left comics stretch, and strain, to make events fit their warped world view. Suffice to say Trump Derangement Syndrome didn’t end when The Apprentice star left the Oval Office. Late night comedians still feast on anything tied to Donald Trump, real or imagined (That helps them ignore the Biden administration’s calamitous year in office).
The Slap Heard Around the World
April 1st, 2022 2:58 PM
This week, Will Smith -- perhaps the most bankable star of his generation -- won an Oscar for Best Actor for “King Richard.” But that wasn’t why he made headlines. He made headlines because during the Academy Awards ceremony, comedian Chris Rock told a joke about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. Jada, it seems, suffers from alopecia; Rock, presumably not knowing about her condition, made a…

Tuesday was the premiere date for CNN+ but chief media correspondent Brian Stelter recorded an Oscar special of his new show Reliable Sources Daily on Monday to cover the elitist spectacle and the so-called “slap heard round the world.” In the midst of their conversation, Stelter opined about how surprised he was that more people on the right, specifically Fox News didn’t support…

On the latest edition of CNN’s lead Fox hatefest known as Reliable Sources, the Brian Stelter-helmed show suffered another pitiful showing in the ratings as, amongst all viewers in the 25-54 demographic, Stelter fetched only 85,000 viewers.

August 9th, 2016 8:33 PM
Actor Will Smith recently said something that would have been considered offensive and dare I say racist when he made comments about Trump and Trump supporters. Being a narrow-minded Hollywood hypocrite, Smith apparently thinks Trump and Trump supporters are white Islamophobic racists when he had a few things to say about how the Republican presidential nominee will help “cleanse” “embarrassing”…

This dynamic duo managed to throw down no less than 18 curse words in the opening 9 minutes of the show.

Bozell & Graham Column: Do the Oscars Need Quotas?
January 30th, 2016 7:58 AM
For a conservative, perhaps nothing in popular culture is more amusing than watching leftist Hollywood beat itself up with the battle cry “Oscars So White.” For a group of people that can’t possibly assemble at awards shows without making egregious displays of what passes for “progressive thought,” this fight over putative racism is as entertaining as the movies themselves.
