"Man I wish I had something bigger and more meaningful to say," said best actor winner Casey Affleck.
How about this, which he said at the Independent Spirit Awards just one day earlier: "The policies of this administration are abhorrent and they will not last. They're really un-American."
We were told this would be a political Oscars in reaction to the current, tumultuous political climate.
But none of the acting winners went near the subject. What happened? Did they chicken out?
Or did they realise that preaching would have done little to change minds and would have just alienated half the country?"
....that about sums it up for me. Typical B.S. of celebrities patting each other on the back now that they are at the Academy Awards so they all went schtum. I hate the Hollywood bull. I really despise it. And they made sure no Brit won anything this year, didn't they? Well done. Just so pathetic that they all say crap about their own government outside of this ceremonial sh!t, but now that they know they can make even more money as winners and nominees, they do nothing. What happened to the Marlon Brandos of the world? What, they all expect to use Twitter instead? The producers and studios are all owned by giant conglomerates and are all making even more money than they made since 2008 thru 2016 during Obama's stock market manipulations and fiascos, look at the market now!!!! Raking in billions, it's never been so high. They're all laughing all the way to the bank. So ridiculous.
