Well, that was the best Oscars ever
Let’s just say the last time we were all this surprised, Hillary Clinton was biting the top off a bottle of the hard stuff. Millions must have gone to bed already: The Oscars were over except for a few thank-yous. Or so it seemed. | New York Postneo-neocon on The Oscars: gaseous glamour and gigantic gaffes
Jimmy Kimmel was remarkably unfunny, and almost every "joke" he made was political. But he was hardly alone. I expected a lot of liberal self-congratulatory politics from the presenters and from the award recipients. But apparently I underestimated the capacity of Hollywood celebrities to keep up an incessant, repetitive drumbeat of praise for themselves and their devotion to diversity, love of immigration, reverence for freedom, and all those things they have been told that Trump and the right are dead set against. And all of this was delivered as though they were courageously standing up to tanks in Tianamen Square.

Never watched the stuff, ever, and can't imagine the idiocy of anyone that did.

Must be the best Oscars ever. It's the only one I can remember ever noticing anything about, and I must have noticed a dozen articles today already. (I'm a fast headline scanner, and it has to be good to pique my astute interest.)
