And the Oscar goes to...
« on: February 27, 2017, 08:42:32 pm »
I didn't know until twelve hours after the Oscars were presented. I actually worked until I fell asleep-pretty much snubbed the Oscars till this morning when I was reviewing news for my day job. I think that I only saw one National Football League game this season as well.  I do not like providing support to over-paid athletes/actors/actresses that decide to use their venue to push political agendas. I very rarely watch television but when I do, I do not want to watch pro-athletes preaching about oppression nor do I want to listen to movie stars talking politics. I watch sports to watch sports. I watch awards shows to see how my opinion stacks up to movie critics. Regardless of whether their views match mine, or not, I do not want to see any of the inappropriate grand standing when I turned on the television to see something specific. If they want to make a difference then have them donate to a charity or group that is fighting for their political views.
