Oscars will have no host, publicist says

[RadishRose]

Does anyone really care?

No host, but these will be Presenters including-
2019 Oscars: Whoopi Goldberg, Tessa Thompson and More Announced as Presenters [Updated]


I just hope they keep their politics to themselves. It's outrageous what big mouths they have. They are extremely well paid for their hard work and if they want a night to congratulate themselves fine, hire the Elks Lodge, a Popye's Chicken truck and have your private party.

I haven't watched that drivel in years and plan to keep the streak alive. :laugh:

 

[Aunt Bea]

Does anyone really care?

Nope!

 

[Linda]

I agree RR. I don't understand why anyone thinks just because they are a celebrity it gives them the right to tell the rest of us about their politics! I get so sick of listening to them! I love your Popeye's Chicken idea. Or a nice taco truck. layful:

I can't get excited about watching this yr's Academy Award show like I have in the past.I've only seen 1 nominated movie,'A Star is Born"
The last time I watched the show to the end was '92,Billy Crystal was the host,'Silence of The Lambs' won 5 Oscars
This show is too long,showing endless commericals doesn't help

Everyone has already expressed my sentiments as well.:zz::nothingtoadd:

:lofl:

 

[Pappy]

I don’t care one damn bit what happens there. Never watch it, never will.

 

[Geezerette]

As folks have said above. I couldn't care less about a gang of "celebrities " congratulating themselves & each other. I haven't seen any first run movies in years.

Same here!

 

[SeaBreeze]

Another one who doesn't care, never was interested in those award shows, won't be watching.

 

[Butterfly]

I don't care either. Never watched those shows.

Why aren't they going to have a host this year?

No one funny enough? No one wants the job? Good hosts have retired?
Unable to find enough politically correct jokes? Fear of death threats?

Or are they just trying to shorten the show time? :yes:

Kevin Hart was supposed to host, but they dug up some tweets he made 10 years ago and someone got their feelings hurt, so he resigned. https://www.cnn.com/2018/12/07/entertainment/kevin-hart-oscars-step-down/index.html

There hasn't been a movie worth the price of admission, in years....IMO. I certainly don't plan on wasting time watching an awards ceremony for such drivel.

Goodness. Things are getting ridiculous with political correctness. Are we now expecting people to be perfect ? I don’t get it.,
Whoopi Goldberg used to be funny but she’s gotten super serious lately. They do get paid enough . No need having to listen to their political perspectives.

I think many of the things being brought up in people's pasts are ridiculous unless they actually committed a crime. Most of us did stupid stuff in our high school/college years that would probably be embarrassing to us now.

Besides, Kevin Hart is a comedian... and most PC crap now has taken the humor out of topics that used to be fair game. Admittedly, some comedians are rude and over the top, and use offensive material as a basis for their "humor."

That said, I couldn't care less about the oscars, whining actors' politics, or any other awards show.

I liked Paul Hogan when he appeared on the awards.

 

[RadishRose]

Yes, that was good. I'd not seen that before. Thanks for the laugh.

 

[Falcon]

Can't stomach Whoopie Goldberg. (Named after a farting cushion.) No yucks there.

 

[treeguy64]

Just what I (don't) wait for, each year: Multimillionaires patting each other on the back by giving meaningless awards for producing mindless nonsense! All awards shows get the same treatment, from me: I change the channel, or shut off the TV and grab a book. Televised beauty contests also get short shrift, from me.

 

[Falcon]

Don't watch it. Rather read a book. I'll get the winners/highlights in my morning
daily newspaper.

 

[Seeker]

I'm on the "Don't give a care" wagon.

 

[applecruncher]

22 posts, 252 views so far. Hmmm.

Ooops! Is this the "I don't care about the Oscars" thread?

I'm watching right now. :tongue: I like to see summaries/clips of the movies.'

Rooting for Viggo Mortensen - Green Book

Never been gaga about Gaga Over-rated and overpaid, along with many others.

I'm gonna watch ALL of it. Guess that means I care. :grin:

I might be back - might not. Yeah, yeah, I know, nobody cares.

 

[Nihil]

I'm wearing headphones drowning it out, while my GF and daughter exercise their egos by snarking and letting themselves care. If only they had that much enthusiasm for the physical world.
