On a related note I still have not watched last year's best picture winner -- Parasite. I have it on Blu-Ray but always find something else to watch.

I have seen News of the World and would guess that is the only movie up for an award tonight that I have seen.

Is that the one where they cut out the swimsuit segment?

I never watch those things as I don't find them entertaining or educational.

Blu-Ray? For $16.99, you can buy the 4K disc on Amazon.

Was that a "changing of subject"?

It smells like older fish. Perhaps a green herring?

It is obvious that most of the Movie Industry votes like you do Mrs. Bound.

We all used to enjoy the Oscars. I wonder tonight if race will be the driving force behind the choices. Wasn't there another awards show recently that had to do with entertainment that was obviously trying to make some statements about race? I don't like connections to social justice or speeches that are political connected to the Oscars. I (used to) like just watching awards for best acting etc.

I just turned it on. Everybody is sweating. Did they turn off the AC to save the planet?

Union Station Los Angeles - Where Los Angeles Begins

It is at Union Station in Los Angeles. Probably hard to control the AC.

Tenet won for Best Visual Effects. I have that on Blu-Ray but have not watched it just yet. My brother told me it would take multiple viewings to understand all that was going on in it.

It was up against Love and Monsters which I thoroughly enjoyed.

If you have absolutely no interest in movies why did you start this poll? Did you start one on the Country Music Awards? Or ESPN awards? Hmm.
I watch the CMA because I like the music and the winners rarely, if ever, make their acceptance speech political. I like that.
When I watch HGTV, I want to watch Joanna Gaines decorate a house. I don’t want to hear her political views.
I AM watching the oscars. Harrison Ford was great. I wish there was more of that - entertainment - and less political commentary.
That is just my opinion.
