WHEN DID AWARD SHOWS CEASE BEING ABOUT, AWARDS???

It was a long time ago that I got out of the habit of watching those silly, idiotic award shows.  Causing some, I suppose, to wonder why I bother to criticize them.  Well, I simply see no reason why I should allow the obviously disingenuous comments made by these blatantly arrogant and well-to-do ‘elites’ to go unchallenged.  They think that because they have been provided with this platform, the purpose of which, I thought, was to recognize those who, or so we’re told, excel at their craft, they should be allowed, instead, to essentially to lure in unsuspecting viewers who are then assaulted with all manner of leftist political drivel? 

Seth Meyers, someone billed as being a late night comedian, was the host of last night’s bizarre telecast of the ‘Golden Globe’ awards.  For those unfamiliar with this dweeb, Meyers, he’s another one of those wimpy snowflakes whose only claim to fame is that he once had a gig on Saturday Night Live from which he then became the host of Late Night with Seth Meyers all of which, I assume, somehow makes him he feel qualified to offer up a critique of our president.  Meyers was apparently unable to get through the first five minutes of his opening monologue without making a joke about President Donald Trump which, I’m told, surprisingly fell flat.

Apparently it was in his 10-minute plus spiel that Meyers took aim at Hollyweird’s powerful men and the sexual abuses many of them have been accused of.  He began by saying, “Good evening ladies and remaining gentlemen, I’m Seth Meyers and I’ll be your host tonight. It’s 2018, marijuana is finally allowed and sexual harassment finally isn’t.”  He went on to say, “There’s a new era underway and I can tell because it’s been years since a white man was this nervous in Hollywood.”  And, he added, “For the male nominees in the room, this is the first time in three months it won’t be terrifying to hear your name read out loud.”  Funny stuff, right?  

Meyers also said a woman might have been better suited to host the awards show given the news of recent sexual harassment scandals, but he assured the audience he was the right choice because he was a man “with absolutely no power in Hollywood. I’m not even the most powerful Seth in the room tonight.”  He then pointed to actor Seth Rogen who was in the crowd and said, “Hey remember when he [Rogen] was the guy making trouble with North Korea?  Simpler times.”   Meyers was apparently referring to Rogen’s 2014 disaster of a movie, “The Interview”, which centered on an assassination plot against North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

And it was from there that things went pretty much downhill as this supposed comedian made yet another lame crack about President Trump not liking the Hollywood Foreign Press.  And it was to a rather lackluster response that Meyers said, “Give it up for the foreign Hollywood Press. A string of three words that could not have been better designed to infuriate our president. Hollywood. Foreign. Press.”  Before going on to say, “The only name that would make him angrier would be the Hillary Mexican salad association.”  All in all it was once again, after reading about last night’s goings on, I was glad that I decided not to watch.

But Meyers was far from being the only one to allow viewers a glimpse of their inner moron, as there were a number of award recipients who also made it clear that you don’t need to be all bright to be in movies.  There was everyone’s favorite racist, Oprah Winfrey, there to except something called the Cecil B. DeMille Award for what I’m not sure, who in her ‘acceptance speech’ spoke about how she was inspired growing up by Sidney Poitier and says “speaking your truth is the most powerful tool we all have. And I’m especially proud and inspired by all the women who have felt proud enough to speak up and tell their personal stories.”

Winfrey also took the time to tell the story of Recy Taylor, a black woman who was attacked and raped by six white boys while walking home from church in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1944.  Winfrey told the audience that Taylor died in December, without ever having received justice for the attack.  Now how is it that one can be so comfortable talking about a rape case that occurred 74 years ago and can, at the same time, choose to simply ignore the numbers of black on black murders that occur on a daily basis or how illegals are killing and raping Americans today in 2018.  How brave.  How courageous. How completely out of touch.

And her complaining about that event from 1944 was nothing more than a means of castigating those evil white boys of 1944 while at the same time failing to recognize that her inspiration, Sidney Poitier, won a film prize instituted by Cecil B. DeMille, a white guy. If society was truly so racist and unfair, then how did that event even take place?  And oh by the way, it was Oprah who funded, and publically backed, the two most corrupt politicians of our time and who thinks she can run for President.  Maybe she can convince Hitlery or Cuban to be her VP.  She must think that being a billionaire and having a TV show is enough to win an election.

The bottom line here is that I don't care what a bunch of virtue signaling overpaid crybabies have to say.  If they really cared about gay rights or the oppression of women, they'd be calling out the Moslem countries who do the most harm to these two specific groups of people.  They’re there with their armed bodyguards, and they say I shouldn't be able to own weapons because I can’t rely on the police to protect me.   These are also the people who knew what Weinstein was up to, yet didn't speak up, for years.  And they all voted for Hitlery, the very same Hitlery who tried to silence her husband’s victims. Yeah, they’re all for the little guy.

But let’s be real here, wanting to put America First is something that most definitely goes against the grain for most in Hollyweird.  After all, this enclave of devout socialists hates this country, with some continuing to go so far as to sing the praises of men like Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro to name just a couple of their more heroic figures.  And it’s for some bizarre reason that they think their ability to act or to sing, two of the most useless professions imaginable, somehow entitles them to lecture, or in some cases to chastise, those of us who, while we are unable to act or sing, are in professions that are far more beneficial to our fellow man.

Yes, our Hollyweird elites continue to prove, every single day, the point that just because one happens to have a lot of money that doesn’t necessarily translate into possessing any amount of class or intelligence.  These ignorant and self-indulgent hypocrites seem to derive some sort of sick pleasure from not only running down the country that has allowed them to become wealthy, self-indulgent hypocrites, but also anyone who chooses to disagree with their leftist politics.  And yet, they still expect us to buy tickets to their movies or concerts and to buy their music all of which is so severely overpriced.  And many of us, including myself, refuse.     

And finally, wasn’t it many of these very same pompous jerks who said they’d be leaving the country if President Trump were to be elected?  And how many actually left after he won?  These people NEVER put their money where their mouth is, they simply continue to spew all manner of mindless drivel and expect people in flyover country to buy into it.  And let’s face it, if most of these people were not blessed with some sort of God given talent they’d likely be found selling pencils on some street corner.  Because let’s face it, the collective IQ of those in attendance at last night’s ‘Golden Globes’ is most definitely down in the single digits.
