This is exactly why I WILL NOT watch the Oscar's nor any other Hollyweird Crapola.

These people are modern day Court Jesters . Absolutely nothing more. Back in the day when they would bomb ,
their heads often departed company of their bodies. But now we targets of their bombings have only one power ,
turn the channel . I have not watched this crap in decades . Anyway , here is what the little darlings did this year.
Pandering whores on stage for the world to see.

Oscars attack Trump: Celebs unleashed on Hollywood's big night .
The first salvo against Donald Trump was fired only a few minutes into the Oscars.
After a joyous opening musical number by Justin Timberlake performing best original song nominee “Can’t Stop the Feeling” that brought the crowd to its feet, host Jimmy Kimmel took the stage at the 89th annual Academy Awards and threw out one POTUS joke after another:
“This is being watched live by millions of people in 225 countries that now h**e us,” Kimmel said (full monologue video below).
Kimmel also had this to say: “I want to say thank you to President Trump. Remember last year when it seemed like the Oscars were r****t? … It’s gone thanks to him.”
And this: “In Hollywood, we don’t discriminate against people based on what countries they come from. We discriminate on them based on their age and weight.”
Kimmel also made jokes about “mediocre” and “overrated” Meryl Streep — a reference to Trump’s criticism of the actress who slammed him during her Golden Globes speech last month.
And the ABC late-night host noted that actors will give speeches that “the president will tweet about in all caps during his 5 a.m. bowel movement tomorrow.”
But Kimmel also surprised by throwing out this plea for unity: “If every person watching this show … if every one of you took a minute to reach out to someone you disagree with, someone you like and have a positive, considerate conversation — not as liberals and conservatives, but as Americans — we could make America great again.”
The host also joked that he’s the wrong person to unite the country. “I can’t do that,” Kimmel said as the camera shifted to showing Hacksaw Ridge director Mel Gibson, a best director nominee, seated in the audience. “There’s only one Braveheart in this room and he’s not going to unite us either.”
After the monologue, Kimmel wasn’t done: “Doctor Strange was nominated for special effects — and also Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.”
Later, when Iranian director Asghar Farhadi won for The Salesman, the award was accepted on his behalf by Anousheh Ansari, famed for being the first female space tourist. Ansari read a blistering letter from Farhadi, who declared last month he would not attend the Oscars in the wake of Trump’s executive order blocking citizens from Iran and six other predominantly Muslim countries from entering the U.S. (The ban has since been halted by judicial decisions.)
“I’m sorry I’m not with you tonight,” Farhadi said via the letter. “My absence is out of respect for the people of my country and from the other six nations whom have been disrespected by the inhumane law which bans immigrants entry into the U.S.” Ansari was interrupted by cheers here, then continued: “Dividing the world into the ‘us and our enemies’ categories creates fear — a deceitful justification for aggression and war. These wars prevent democracy and human rights in countries which themselves have been victims of aggression. Filmmakers can turn their cameras to capture shared human qualities and break stereotypes of various nationalities and religions. They create empathy between us and others — an empathy we need today more than ever.”
In another instance, actor Gael Garcia Bernal took a shot at Trump’s border wall plan while introducing best animated film: “Flesh and blood actors are migrant workers. We travel all over the world. We construct families, we build life, but we cannot be divided. As a Mexican, as a Latin American, as a migrant worker, as a human being, I’m against any form of wall that wants to separate us.”
And when Zootopia won that category, director Rich Moore pointedly noted, “We are so grateful to audiences to audiences all over the world who embraced this film with this story of tolerance being more powerful than fear of the Other.”
We’ll update this post with the other political moments from the telecast as they occur throughout the night.
Sunday’s ceremony is expected to one of the most politicized in memory given Hollywood largely standing in opposition to President Trump and his policies. Even on the red carpet before the show began, several stars were spotted wearing the blue “Stand with the ACLU” ribbons. While the nonprofit organization is considered nonpartisan, its mission to protect “individual rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution and law of the U.S.” has become rather topical of late as the ACLU has mobilized an effort to resist Trump’s deportation plans.
On Saturday, Hollywood had a warm-up round at the Film Independent Spirit Awards, where Casey Affleck used his acceptance speech for best actor to call out Trump’s policies as “abhorrent” and “un-American.”

Why do you think anyone would care what you watch? As a conservative I would assume you only watch conservative approved programming. Anything else would be a shock...

I wonder what it would be like for these beautiful people to line up in the unemployment line!
Thanks for the wasted time on your TV slot. This time should have spent on how we can save this country!
