The Oscars tonight. Anyone tuning in? ?

I’ve never watched it. What slightly irks me is the ‘goodie bag’ worth 1000s which all those nominated get given.

Totally agree Urmston. Weeping/bleating/ lecturing luvvies are simply an embarrassment and mega turn off. So I do!

No - I don’t bother with all that. I must admit I do like to see who’s wearing what (on the internet, after the event), but the gushing often tearful, embarrassing acceptance speeches (thanking everyone including the family cat) really irritate and annoy me.

Definitely not. I haven’t a clue who any of the so-called personalities are and I think the amount spent on it is obscene. I haven’t watched for many years.

Urmstongran
I thought you put that very politely. I use somewhat stronger language to describe what I call oxygen thief’s.

Nope.

No, life’s too short.

I feel very uncomfortable with all the razzmatazz and self adulation displayed when a war in Ukraine is going on. No doubt someone will suggest that a display of blue and yellow ribbons will make it all worthwhile.

Good God No!

Most of the films sound woeful, with a couple of exceptins. I'm disappointed I didn't get to see the new West Side Story I think I'd have liked that and I did see Belfast which I enjoyed. My husband watched Power of the Dog on Netflix and tells me it's utter shite, as I can't stand Westerns anyway with the exception of Butch Cassidy I can't be bothered to watch it to see whether I'd agree.

Couldn't really care less who wins with the exception of Jessie Buckley nominated for best supporting actress, I think she is very talented. Anyway who wants to listen to all that load of old bollocks those very protracted acceptance speeches. In my opinion these award ceremonies have had their day, life's moved on and there are far more important things going on in the world than all the back slapping and gushing that goes with such events.

I won’t be watching. Coverage starts at 1am in the UK, which is also a big disincentive.

It used to be such an event!

But no, I won't be watching nor am I interested in who wins what.

They don’t interest me in the slightest. It’s quite obscene the money spent on outfits etc. Then they try and preach to us mere mortals. It’s a big no from me.

I Agee with you, it was said on the news that viewing figures had dropped last year

Haven't watched for a long time Urmstongran definitely an embarrassment.
I've got several good books waiting for me, much better way to spend the time.

Not in the least bit interested in the Oscars, or any of these ceremonies. Grumpy old bag here.
