Does anyone watch these? To me they seem to have some celebrity ass kissing award show every month. Since I'm traveling I decided to try to watch the Golden Globes, four anti Trump comments in the first ten minutes, can't do it.

I've never understood Hollywood worship. What happens in their lives has never been a concern. 90% of them are so far out of touch with reality it pains me to watch this crap.

However, I do like to/want to see a lot of them nekkid. Except the dudes, BQ can have them.
 
Celebrities have money, power, butlers, chefs, landscapers, all just like Trump.

Read the numerous articles about how Southern California is under a water shortage, yet these environmentally sensitive celebrities are getting fined regularly for watering the heck out of their lawns to make them as green as can be.

They are all hypocrites. They all drive fancy cars, fly private jets, and build huge walls around their property.
 
And Trump responds on Twitter to these idiot actors. I really don't know what's worse.

Bottom line: he needs to keep his ass off Twitter. He looks absolutely ridiculous.
He is absolutely ridiculous(and inarticulate and petty). The platform doesn't matter. Twitter is only the vehicle that allows us to see how depraved he is. I'm actually thankful he uses twitter, lest we think higher of him than we should.
 
At what point does a celebrity make a speech regarding the inherent danger of anti-Trump zealots torturing people on FB Live feed? It seems like they're hyper concerned about dangers that don't exist yet, but really could give a shit about people being tortured by zealots "on their side".

Anti-Trump zealots, really? Like they voted. Regardless, I thought you all were for torture.
 
That Meryl Streep speech was pure self indulgent bullshite. I couldn't listen to the whole thing because it was so melodramatic and patronizing. How the hell do you mock the NFL and UFC for not being art when you were involved in this:

I had it on during her speech and my favorite is when the camera panned to Vince Vaughn...the look he had on his face was priceless [laughing]. He knows how out of touch she and most of that room is about this Country. Hollywood could use more Vince Vaughns and McConagheys who get us 'animals' that love watching Football.

It is humorous that idiots like Streep think they are the majority. Even most dems I know don't agree with her.
 
Back to the OP's question and avoiding the political pissing match because there's far too much of that coming from both sides - I typically watch the opening. Then, depending on what else is on - and if I'm even watching t.v. after the monologue - I may flip back and forth to see who's winning what; but, really I just pay attention to the nominees anymore to see if there's a film out there I missed. Typically there isn't because it's generally all the big houses that get the nominees anyway, but occasionally one will have slipped through my radar. These days I really pay closest attention to the nominees at Cannes, Sundance, TIFF, etc.

The masters of the arts at Sundance heaped praise and awards on a movie which featured a weirdo stuck on an island, and a corpse he finds that farts throughout the entire movie and has strange homo-erotic experiences with.

I didn't say that I enjoy every film that's nominated. Hell, I don't even watch 50% of them; but, typically the fests are about the best barometer there is for films that are at least worth a look-see. And, I don't know how much I'd agree that praise was heaped on the film (there were a record number of "walkouts" during the premiere) - it only took the top directorial prize. You don't have to like the movie or its plot to be able to appreciation the art of direction. For instance, I don't care for the Lord of the Rings movies; but, there's no denying what Peter Jackson accomplished as director (see: 2003 Academy Awards).
 
Lol.
Streep delivers a speech about our President-Elect physically mocking and insulting disabled people on a national stage, and she is the asshole!

Yes. Evans's you left out the part where she called on the media to hold the president accountable without saying anything for the past eight years. She is just butt hurt because her bff lost.
 
The best part is seeing the same people posting in this thread about being tired of Hollywood and their awards shows, posting in the thread about "Must Watch New TV." You idiots are the ones giving them their platform by watching all of that garbage.

What didn't the media hold Obama accountable for? He didn't mock any disabled people, or make comments about sexually assaulting women.
 
Streep has spent her adult life pretending to be something she's not; perhaps she's now pretending to be intelligent.
These Hollywood types think they are the supreme voice of planet earth, really, they think only they know the way forward.
Trump is the next president, get over it you libtard SJW feminazi BLM loving cry babies!

Anti Trump BLM kidnapping zealots have no place in this country. Dump Meryl in the war zone with them.

The award shows are what's garbage. Most of the awards go to artsy shit that few people watch and even fewer enjoy. I refuse to watch award shows because it's self flagellation for the people who are already getting lots of publicity and they serve as confirmation bias for the weak-minded who need to know what they like as also liked by others. I know what I like and I couldn't care less what the Hollywood press or actors guild thinks of what they produced. My dollars gave my vote.

Only a dolt like you would find this to be a relevant comment.

Note: it IS possible to be an actor, make good shows, get paid, but not be a raging self righteous shithead at these awards shows, when surrounded by other like minded self righteous shitheads. The groupthink and self congratulations that goes on is sickening. Mind you this is a room full of drug addicts, junkies, people who cheat and lie, destroy marriages, destroy the lives of their kids, etc etc etc And yet they always find it necessary to use their worthless award acceptance to lecture down to us common morons sitting in flyover country.
 
Also, Streep gave Roman Polanski a standing ovation years ago at another one of these self serving award shows. Trump may not be a great person, but he damn sure isn't a convicted child molester.

Maybe you should actually look at the context of the actions and the times he used the mannerism to represent being flustered and not just buy into the media narrative.

Are you kidding, people like chemmie worship people like this, those that are judged by what they say rather than what they do. Watch chemmie lecture others about inequality as he boasts about flying first class and eating in high end restaurants.

I'm sure the hundreds of thousands of people working for studios, distribution, etc that don't make eight figures to work on movie sets will be very supportive when they all lose their jobs... Such whiny babies.
