The 93rd Academy Awards

article image placeholderThe Oscars 2021 | 93rd Academy Awards
At any rate, I wanted to post this so that we can sort of talk about the events this evening and whether or not we agree with the winners, what we think is going to happen, whether we're generally satisfied with the evening. There's always a sort of debate, at least lately when it comes to award shows and how they're sort of dying off, they're not as interested anymore. The numbers always seem to go down

Let’s discuss the event - the good, the bad, and the ugly! https://abc.com/shows/oscars

So I just wondered what your thoughts were. I know that you're a fan. My son is a huge fan of Black Panther. So he was also rooting for tragic. We haven't seen this particular movie, so I know it is unfair without having seen the movies to judge who's the better actor. And so I'm sure the judges did write by the award itself, but it still leaves a sour taste in the mouth. And I just wondered what your thoughts were

Bad night at the office

He Skyped in and it ended with a Skype call or Zoom call. Whatever we're calling it these days from Anthony Hopkins so bizarre. Everything about last night was bizarre. And look, if I'm in that age bracket of, like, maybe 14 years old to, let's say, 22, there is not a thing on the planet that would make me want to watch the Oscars right now short of maybe the rock hosting mean, it was just not my thing

You have the homeless population, as I mentioned, that apparently had to be uprooted and moved. You have all of these different health measures that you need to put into place and really just don't do it. I don't know. Maybe just take a year off or I don't know, maybe I'm just ranting because I'm a little bit bummed at the state of where the Oscars are going. I just remember when I was younger, I lived for watching in the Oscars

And then what we would have is something to look forward to because you're not looking to repeat what we saw a decade ago or a year ago. But we are looking to see a brand new movie or performance or an event in this case completely reimagined. And I think that's what the biggest fail clearance
