Which movie do you think will win best picture in the 2019 Oscars? (Guests allowed)

A report coming out of Hollywood this afternoon revealed that a 4-hour-long political lecture scheduled for Sunday will be disguised as an awards show in order to drum up interest.

"See, if we just asked people to tune in for four hours of virtue-signaling and political posturing, we'd have zero viewers," said one of the show's organizers. "If we want to keep the three or four viewers we still have left, we have to pretend the purpose of this ceremony is to hand out awards for excellent movies released in the last year."

 Green Book is the only thing on the list worthy of a vote IMHO.  Unfortunately, it won't get a look by the academy.

I won't watch  the *awards*.....Victoria is on PBS on Sun night...

This year the movies seem to be over 50 percent black in some manner

Gay, trans-whatever, and all that LXYZ crap (I mean real actual ones, and not just people playing politics and virtue signaling) are well less than 10% of the population. And one estimate I read put it at less than 3%. And yet judging from American TV and Movies anyone would get the impression that they are the other 50 percent.

Hollywood has American demographics at 40% Black, 40% sexually confused, 10% White, and 10% assorted others.

I don't see it as a political lecture. It is more like "America's got Talent". Only instead of singing the contestants are competing with each other in a "Who Hates Donald Trump More?" contest.

Contestant 1: I hate Trump the most of anyone on Earth!
Contestant 2: I hate Trump more than that!
Contestant 3: No, I do!
Contestant 2: I would punch him in the nose!
Contestant 1: I would kill his dog!
Contestant 4: F**K Trump!
All: Yea! F**K him and all his supporters!
(and on and on like that for hours)

The Oscars have been leftist political howling for decades prior to Trump being a "thing."  Think Marlon Brando.

That's true. But now it has become vulgar and personal against Trump and his entire family, including children.

The best movie from 2018 wasn't even nominated: The Rider.  Roma is way overrated.  It has a lot of stunning cinematography, but not much in the way of characters, story or plot.  Star Is Born was maybe the worst of the four versions of that film, though it wasn't bad.  Definitely not big picture material, though.

The movies are in big trouble as the best entertainment being produced these days is television series and mini-series.

Enjoyed them equally, except that the R.E.L. tiebreaker goes to Duvall over that left wing puke Sheen.

Agree. I always thought Sheen was odd casting for the role.

R.E.L was so tall and dignified and gentlemanly with class from head to toe, and Sheen is just a short stubby leftie. Weird choice.  Even for Hollywood.

I still liked the movie a lot though.  Longstreet I loved. Chamberlain too.

But the music was exquisite, wasn't it?

Marlon sent his Squaw to collect his Statuette is all I remember.  Liz Warren was her second.

I don’t think anything can beat Black Panther.  If it doesn’t win, the outrage will be unreal.

I still need to see Bohemian Rhapsody.  It looks really good.

Just read an Oscars preview. Apparently Hollywood is planning a "Trump Bashing Spectacular!" much to the surprise of absolutely nobody.
It is going to be DU and DailyKos rolled into one pathetic 4 hour rant. I hear they hired @Oceander as an assistant producer.

Trump sucks...
Pence sucks...
Even though we lost the election, we won anyway with Mueller...
Trump this...and Trump that...
Did I mention, 'F**K Trump!'

Don't know who is watching this stuff, but more power to them if they can stand it. I won't be there.

[Applewood]

Looks like the Oscars went all politically correct and diversity -- an appropriate number of minorities and "special" people won.   

Glad I didn't waste my time watching.

I was right with you.  Didn't watch.

I wonder what the "overnights" for the show came in at.

[EdJames]

Only thing that I heard about it was that some of them thought that the stage looked like Trump's hair?

HOLLYWOOD, CA—According to sources at the 91st annual Academy Awards ceremony this evening, the nation's wealthy, privileged elite gathered to lecture the nation on the horrendous evils of wealth and privilege.

The wealthiest 0.00001% of the nation arrived at the exclusive, walled-off, high-security event in limos and luxury cars driven by servants in order to spend a few hours telling the nation's poor and middle-class citizens how they need to throw off the yoke of oppression put on them by the wealthy elite.

"It's the white, privileged, wealth hoarders that are ruining America," said one white, privileged man whose net worth is estimated at $160 million. "All you people in the cheap seats at home: you need to do better."

"America is just a terrible nation with no opportunity," said one woman who made $100 million wearing costumes and reading words someone else wrote off a page. "We must stop the 1% from hoarding all the wealth." Upon being informed she was well within the 1%, she clarified that it was actually the 0.000001% who are the problem.

Unfortunately, it looks like the event will proceed as planned next year as well.

My wife and I saw "Green Book" at the theater last Thursday night.

We both liked it a lot.

But the continuous Trump hate, coupled with "very thing black in the movies, has gone too far for me.

This morning's designated outrage, is a 3 year delayed claim that Trump kissed a black woman (then) supporter on the corner of her pretty mouth.

She was so outraged that she attended the inagural ball, and applied for jobs.

Getting damned hard to seperate satire from the truth these days.
