The Oscars

Matt Walsh bashed the Academy Awards gurus for snubbing his successful Am I Racist? documentary when it announced an initial pool of 15 documentaries that will be whittled down to five nominees. “This is the outcome I expected, of course, but it doesn’t make it any less of a farce.”

This week at the Oscars, a director named Jonathan Glazer made international headlines. Glazer won an Academy Award for his film, “Zone of Interest,” which centers on the family life of Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Hoss and his wife, Hedwig, who happily cultivate their home and garden as just behind the wall, Jews are tortured, shot and gassed.

On Monday, CBS Mornings was the only flagship morning show across the broadcast networks to mention Sunday’s Oscars started six minutes late due to the latest band of pro-Hamas protesters demanding a ceasefire by Israel against the terrorist organization holding dozens of innocents hostage.  Better yet, co-host Tony Dokoupil made two simple observations about their lack concern for…

Media activists who obsess over “representation” in Hollywood (think the #OscarsSoWhite hash-tag on Twitter), will never be satisfied as long as there are ways to slice the racial-gender figures of directors, actors, award nominees, and box-office results so that liberals will come away disappointed in the alleged lack of “representation” at the movies. The Oscars are a prime season to air…

On Thursday, the House Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government held a hearing on the bombshell Twitter Files and the implication of the government colluding with Big Tech to censor free speech. The lively hearing featured two of the Twitter Files authors, Michael Shellenberger and Matt Taibbi. And throughout, Democrats tried to demean their work and lambaste the free press…

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? He told a joke about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. “Jada, I love ya,” Rock said. “‘G.I…

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).

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…

Latest stunt to bring audiences back ignores bigger problems plaguing show. The Oscars stepped on yet another rake en route to its annual broadcast. Late last month, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced it will pre-record select awards prior to the show and include an abbreviated version of them in the broadcast. Why? The show is three-plus hours long, and this will help…

The entertainment industry did their best to try and make Donald Trump’s life a living hell while he was in office, but it seems as if the former president is getting the last laugh. As the Trump administration ended, the president kept most of his huge base of support intact, while Hollywood proceeded to lose even more viewers than the few it still had.

Sure, you may feel annoyed about all the woke, self-righteous stuff Hollywood actors have directed at conservatives during the Academy Awards, but the silver lining is that they’re only hurting themselves.

Oh it’s Oscar season, baby, and once again that means fixating on all the political things Hollywood wants to talk about rather than actual movies. In the year of the pandemic, big Hollywood movies seemed hardly relevant, but our moral betters in Tinsel Town weren’t going to pass up a chance to lecture us.

From the beginning until the end, the 93^rd Annual Academy Awards was loaded with Black Lives Matter wokeism. Airing on ABC on Sunday night, the show began with self-described "preaching" from actress/director Regina King on the Chauvin trial in Minneapolis and the dangers faced by black men.

This year's Academy Awards show was an unwatchable train wreck of BLM virtue-signaling and bad lighting. A freshman film student could have produced a better show than this mess.
