No thanks.

This year's Oscar nominations.

Glad to see News of the World received some.

I personally could care less about the Hollywood elitists :1rotfl:

A lot of self serving wokes who make lousy movies. About as interested as the emmy show. They can have themselves, I watch classic movies.

A side topic re Award shows. Did anyone watch the Grammy's Sunday? A friend watched it and said it was like a pornographic show. I googled and see that Cardi B did her 'W.A.P.' with another 'perfomer' on a big bed, EXTREMELY suggestive etc etc. BTW did anyone hear actually google the lyrics to this 'song'??? I COULD NOT copy/paste onto this site - they would be deleted... And other outrageously sex-filled stuff on the show throughout.

So.... Suess and others are banned. Cancel Culture abounds. But this Crap is aired on commercial TV to any little girls and boys who may happen to tune in?

Man, I must be getting REAL old. This crap turns my stomach. I say this a couple times a day when checking News..."Our poor country"...

Some are elitists. Most do not seem to be that way. Many do a lot of good works in many areas using the platform they have to improve things.

And how did seniors react to people like Elvis in the 1950s?

Don't care to contribute financially to a group of people who hate me.

give me a break - NO comparison. How do YOU feel about the Grammy's telecast? Easy to throw out simplistic responses as this, perhaps provide some valid commentary.

Look as some of the people lumped together as being "Hollywood".

I have lived here in the Villages since June 2005 and no two of these are the same. Same goes for Hollywood but members of that group do have a lot more power and are a lot more visible.

A professional musician I know-- he does sound for Disney-- thought the music was great. Art pushes boundaries of what is decent and normal. Elvis did that in his time. Lady Gaga and others do it in ours.

The musician's parents used to live in the Villages and I suppose their tastes would be different from his though.

Some of the dance routines at the Grammys were raunchy and very low class.

MANK was great. It helps if you are a Citizen Kane fan.

Love Citizen Kane. I will probably buy that Blu-Ray at some point. The one for Mank. I have Citizen Kane somewhere or another.

I don't go to movies, I wait til they come to me. I watched two new films recently. The first was Nomadland. It was very depressing, the story of a broke and broken woman forced to live in her panel van. Frances McDormand was great, but she always is. The second was Coming 2 America. It was fun, Eddie Murphy is a brilliant comedian. Happy funny story. Happy ending...... it's on Prime.
