Does anyone really care about these award ceremonies anymore?

Greta Gerwig will not quit until she has got Saoirse Ronan an Oscar !

[–] Videon (24) 5 years ago

That's what I want to know. I haven't watched an award show in decades and I don't know anyone (that I know of) who does. Not only is it a Hollywood circle jerk, but they were sooooooo boring.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

I love watching the Oscars.

[–] beavis (3249) 5 years ago

when I took acting lessons I got really into the awards but I got lazy and swore to never watch it again because of how long it is.

[–] Catbookss (13664) 5 years ago

I like hearing the results, but haven't watched any of them in years.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

I still watch for the major awards.

[–] Otter (24464) 5 years ago

I care! I care enough to tune in! If I happen to be home!

At least enough to check the results the next day, if I'm not.

I watch a few of them. I lean towards The Independent Spirit Awards.

It seems that with so many choices mired by controversy, there can be only one choice that will please everyone.

Let the Oscars be hosted by The Muppets.

It's time to play the music
It's time to light the lights

[–] johnmarti59 (2356) 5 years ago

That would be interesting to watch.

[–] Otter (24464) 5 years ago

That is actually a great idea.

I'm serious! GREAT!!!

Big Bird

Billy Crystal was the best host.

[–] PaladinNJ (21525) 5 years ago

Absolutely. But he says no every year.

[–] johnmarti59 (2356) 5 years ago

They should pay him $50 million; he wouldn't say no to that.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (77566) 5 years ago

I'd love to see Crystal again!

[–] johnmarti59 (2356) 5 years ago

They don't want to spend the money on a host when they don't have to. Also, you can't tell me that they can't find anyone to host.

[–] samoanjoes (57041) 5 years ago

It really isn't that hard to find a good or even moderately decent host who can either be funny or do some kind of musical performance: Tom Hanks, Jim Carrey, Sacha Baron Cohen, Dave Chappelle, Anna Kendrick, Terry Crews, Jack Black, Kate McKinnon, Judd Apatow, Kevin Smith, Martin Lawrence, Mike Myers, Kristen Wiig and Eddie Murphy. These were just from the top of my head.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (77566) 5 years ago

Great list!
The current plan sounds stupid

[–] Sarmoviefan26 (1368) 5 years ago

It’s sad but I’m not surprised since last year the ratings went a little up, not like in the good days but slightly rose so I can see they think it was because there wasn’t a host.

And like I said it’s sad I did like the idea of a host I’d actually like to see Robert Downey Jr hosting something gives me the vibes he could be a great choice but it’s fine without a host as well

[–] NormaAndNorman (3900) 5 years ago

Last year was great because QUEEN opened! They should open it every year. 😊

Who needs a host?

[–] maclite (41) 5 years ago

They should just go all in and hire Ricky Gervais :D

No one in the movie industry can pass its own wokeness purity test.
