The Oscars bored my socks off! I've been watching my whole life.
Posted: Feb 23, 2015
I love movies and I've always loved watching the Oscars. I've noticed with each passing year, the Oscars are less and less fun. They take themselves way too seriously and even they seem like they are bored to tears. I remember watching Bob Hope host when I was a kid and thought it looked like all the celebrities were having so much fun, lauging at themselves, each other, and Bob Hope. And then Johnny Carson took over and then Billy Crystal and it seemed like one big happy party. Now it's all designer dresses, politically correct jokes lest some big movie star or director gets offended.
When Ricky Gervais hosted the Golden Globes a few years back, I thought he was hilarious! He skewered and offended everyone and these are people that need to be skewered and offended or else their egos will balloon even bigger than they already are.
Having said all that, my favorite moments from this years Oscars were the acceptance speeches - Patricia Arquette's acceptance speech (preach it sister!), Graham Moore's, and JK Simmons.
And I was absolutely blown away by Lady Gaga. Shockingly mahvelous! Who knew?!?!
;
I was not going to - watch
[ In Reply To ..]because I had given up watching a few years ago but somehow got sucked in this year.
I was following along with a live Oscars blog on a website and it was hilarious to read the comments as things happened. That kept it from being too boring for sure.
Lady Gaga was the highlight of the show!
I still wonder why they chose to leave Joan Rivers and Elaine Stritch out of the memoriam slide show though.

Oscars Security: Looks Like The Hollywood Jerks Are Fine WithFeb 18, 2017
- at least, when it comes to themselves. My eyes glazed over as I read about the complete disruption that the Oscars will be causing to implement security for these delicate flowers - and not just on Oscar night but days before. Road closings, barriers, fences, heavy armed patrols, etc. They're even shutting down subway stops and interrupting other public transportation 24 hours ahead of the event. They themselves describe this as a "total lockdown" - which I find v ...
It Gave Me Great Pleasure To Tune Out The Oscars Last NightFeb 27, 2017
Apparently it was a pig's breakfast. I can't imagine why anyone gives a rip about Hollywood in any shape, form or fashion. I have a neighbor who lives in a fantasy world, writes letters to George Clooney, movie magazines everywhere you look, etc. I don't get it. I mean they're people who dress up and pretend to be someone else, and for some reason believe that their half-baked political and social opinions are just terribly insightful and compelling, ...

It's just me and the dogs all day long and while I love working from home, not having to travel to work, worry about my hair and makeup, etc, I'm finding myself increasingly bored and in need of human contact and I am so not a people person. I keep thinking about taking a part-time job to make some extra money and to get out of the house a little, but I can't imagine juggling this full-time job and then travel time and being required to work an additional 20-25 hours a week, ...

My 2 House Cats Are BoredJan 02, 2012
Soon I will be working 3 jobs, and my 2 house kitties are already bored (they can't stand each other so don't play together, etc.). They already have a TON of toys (both interactive and not) as well as a tall cat tree and multiple scratching posts, but I need something else to help alleviate their boredom. Artificial aquarium? Videos of birds, fish, etc.? Your ideas would be most appreciated. Thanks. ...

Or flip it - but whatever, this is getting so depressing. a house divided, well, you know the rest ...

Sad to say that I end up cooking the same five or six things every week. I think my taste buds have atrophied. Anyone have any ideas for something really good (also fairly fast and easy to make)? My husband doesn't like things that are too spicy (100% Norwegian--family story was that his mother still had the same spices she got for her wedding 50 years on the spice rack ) but I'm looking for a change. ...

Anybody Bored With Poll Data? Trump And ClintonMay 23, 2016
Seriously how did we get to the point that these annoying individuals are our ony choices unless Bernie burns Hillary. It would be wise for the Democratic party to back Bernie since people do not like Hillary and feel she is not trustworthy. Not sure what to do about Trump other than Republicans cannot replace him with a career politician. Trump got where he is because voters are tired of corruption of government with bribed politicians selling their votes to the highest speci ...

Anybody Else Watching The Voice?Jun 08, 2011
I started watching it in the beginning just because of Adam Levine, and I've found I'm loving it the way Americal Idol used to get me. I love the banter between the coaches, though Christina gets a little too crude for me sometimes. But I like her otherwise. What do you think of the talent? I voted for Frenchie Davis today. Nobody on Blake's team impressed me much. I think Xenia's got a lot of potential, but she's obviously too young, and p ...
Anyone Watching NFL Playoffs?Jan 09, 2010
Anyone into the games this weekend? I am hoping for Dallas and GB to win. I'd rather face either of them than Arizona or Philly in the divisional round next week. My Vikings have caused me much Super Bowl and playoff trauma over the years and I'm not expecting much but hoping for the best. Favre really gives us a good chance. I'm anxious to see what happens today. I'll be a wreck by next week (they play on my birthday - the last time that ...
