2021 Oscar Nominations

Some actors still have star attraction gravity. But most people have realized that actors are just skilled entertainers, not gods to emulate or worship.

 

Using superhero properties isn't a very good example, imo. If you go into a Nolan-directed Batman movie expecting to see Bale try to get nominated for an Oscar, you're setting yourself up for disappointment. Superhero movies are meant to showcase the superhero...not the actor acting.

At the same time, I watched 'Ford vs Ferrari' because it had Matt Damon and Christian Bale in it. Not because it had depictions of Henry Ford and Enzo Ferrari.

 

Maybe I made it 15 seconds before I changed the channel -- literally instant cringe.

 

I had this show on in the background during the evening, so I saw a good part of it. Worst awards show I have ever seen. Now, I will admit, I don’t watch all the award shows, but this was awful. It didn’t help that I hadn’t seen any of the movies. But, there was literally no excitement or energy in the room.

Sometimes, I do enjoy the Oscars. The Golden Globes are usually entertaining. So, I do like some of these shows. The pandemic made everything hard. But, I would have thought Hollywood could have come up with something entertaining. Seems like the best hosts aren’t interested in this gig anymore.

TV Ratings: Oscars Plummet to Record Low, Down 58% Compared to Last Year

 

Yep they try to make it all intimate looking and still the show sucked, lol.

 

Didn't see much entertainment last year.

 

I enjoyed the ACMs this year. Here is a song about a dog.

 

I wish Blake would dump that ska w**** and get back with Miranda.

 

I must admit Miranda is aging well. I am all in on Carly Pearce at this point. 1997 Faith Hill-type feels.

 

I will say that Chris Stapleton is 1 of a handful of Nashvegas artists who are worth a damn.
