The Oscars

[Chi-Town]

Tonight's Oscar presentation will have no host and my interest is minimal this year. Johnny Carson hosted the 1982 Oscars and this clip of best song nominee makes me nostalgic for the big productions that used to be standard fare. Enjoy.

You couldn't pay me enough to watch the Oscars.

The Nielsen ratings for the Oscars have dropped over the last several years. I believe that the humor at the expense of many of our views as a country has caused the falling interest.

Nothing worth watching or reading about.
The event has deteriorated to nothing more than self appointed political/hate diarrhea dispenser contest.

[manaboutown]

Total waste of time to watch. I'll pass.

I will tape it to double-check anything mentioned by friends and family on Facebook but do not really enjoy watching any award shows.

But will probably not watch much of the recording unless there is something interesting in the 2-24-2019 Oscars.

Watch every year, kinda of a holiday in our house. The rest of you enjoy reruns or Netflix.

I'd rather watch QVC all night thanks.
Later, Steve

I will be watching some of this movie on Blu-Ray -- Bad Times at the El Royale (2018) - Rotten Tomatoes (https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/bad_times_at_the_el_royale) and The Walking Dead.

Did you see the gentlemen in the .beautiful black velvet gown?

Yes I did, what's the problem with artistic expression .

So GG you did watch after all! Busted ..............

We will be in our pool, drinking a Margerita, and listening to golden oldies on the radio during the Oscars. I will check out the winning movies in the morning and take them off our order que since no good comedies or action movies ever win an oscar.

Green Book won for Best Picture and this movie seemed quite beloved here in the Villages.

Nope. Saw it on the pictures Microsoft News chooses for my computer.

Yes it is a form of artistic expression. Perhaps. Or...

As some might say;

"It is better to be looked over, than overlooked. And that is the reason people seek a stage career. If we were all the same we might wear white lab coats and solve medical mysteries

Something new to ponder everyday.

I have found over the years that as people age they tend to disengage from the world of entertainment. Young people are more full of life, hope and promice; thereby, flock to Hollywood driven entertainment. Us old folks would rather have a quiet meal.

There have been some movies in the Villages that draw HUGE crowds and this may be the next one coming out in May of 2019--

Mamma Mia and its sequel got a lot of Villages as did The Boynton Beach Club .

My number 1 pick this year is Bohemian Rhapsody. This film hit all my emotions hard enough to raise the hair on my arms several times. :bigbow:

We enjoy watching the Oscars. Sometimes you hear and see “things” you don’t agree with but exposing yourself to the “arts”, different ideas and people from different lifestyles and backgrounds can give you a better understanding of the world we live in. Hopefully we can be smarter and wiser today than we were yesterday. My wife and I grew up in small midwestern towns and it wasn’t until later that we met people from different backgrounds, lifestyles and religions. It has been my experence that most people don’t want you to agree, rather, they want respect. “I don’t like that man, I must get to know him better.” Abraham Lincoln

Well stated...thanks! :thumbup:



Analogous to one of my favorite sayings. :cool:

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.

Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.

I have met some awful people but most of those were people I was representing who were in prison at Minnesota Correctional Facility-- Stillwater or running for political office or in political office.

Abraham Lincoln though looks like he was one hell of a good man.
