I'm so oblivious to 'Awards shows' now, that I didn't even know about this until I happened to hear on an ABC radio newscast this morning.

Personally I have less than zero interest in celebs congratulating themselves and getting even more publicity. And I don't even know which movies or 'stars' are up for 'awards.

Used to enjoy the spectacle many years ago (like so many things...) but now, snoresville.

Not at all. These people are pretentious and self-important. Their opinions do not matter at all. My advice to them is: Pick up your award, thank your mom and dad, then shut up and go back to your seat.

I'd rather watch paint dry than watch those spoiled, overpaid people.

When watching paint dry, just make sure it's not a dividing line.

They should stick with their profession of acting, not politics.

Calling them "Stars" is an affront to our beautiful Galaxy. So we can be politically correct what should we call them? HOPA's (Highly overpaid actors). Bet the ratings will be in the tank.

I will tape it and look at it live once in a while.

Like the song numbers and to see who won in various categories even if I have seen none of the movies nominated this year due to the Corona Virus and my being pretty much here in the Villages this year and most of last year.

No movie theaters were open here in the Villages for much of that span.

I would be very interested in what some Oscar winning screenwriters think about some things as well as what various best selling writers think.

Some of these writers would speak at American Library Association meetings.

Clint Eastwood would have some very interesting insights on many things I would guess and he does have many different interests.

I wonder if Jack Nicholson will be in the front row tonight?

I love seeing the red carpet gowns from that show, doubt there'll be much to see this year. Maybe at home pyjama stylings?!

Absolutely!

Love to see the beautiful people. When is the last time you played dress-up? I am looking forward to being introduced to top notch performances and movies that I am not familiar with.

I have no problem to actors promoting their personal causes. They donate a lot of their time and money to many worthwhile charities.

30+ Celebrities Donating To Food Groups Amid Coronavirus Pandemic

I honestly doubt you will hear many political diatribes this year.
