Members Vee Posted February 23, 2015 Members Share Posted February 23, 2015 I thought it was tacky to not include Joan. She was there every damn year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted February 23, 2015 Members Share Posted February 23, 2015 Bob Hope and Johnny Carson are dead. Ergo, having anyone else host the Oscars will inevitably result in total disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 23, 2015 Members Share Posted February 23, 2015 To me the main problem with the Oscars is the stilted jokes - is it still Bruce Vilanch? Who is it now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted February 23, 2015 Members Share Posted February 23, 2015 Perhaps. But I think it's because they are secretly glad she's dead. She minced no words especially when it came to pretentious celebrities and awards shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted February 23, 2015 Members Share Posted February 23, 2015 I was just about to post that next year will be the most top heavy, diverse Oscars yet. This industry is all about doing anything to make sure that the 'lessers' [in their mind] don't revolt. TBH, I don't give a damn about the Oscars and haven't in awhile. I do get more enjoyment out of award shows like NAACP & BET awards b/c it is equal opportunity. Sorry I gotta get this off my chest but what pisses me off about 'white Hollywood' is that they'll do anything to shut diversity out but go to an event hosted by Blacks or Latinos and we're always accepting. Just pisses me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted February 23, 2015 Members Share Posted February 23, 2015 Judging from all the "moving pictures" references? It's probably Fatty Arbuckle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted February 23, 2015 Author Members Share Posted February 23, 2015 Mario Lopez @MarioLopezExtra 2h2 hours ago And great job Sean Penn. Ruining a fantastic moment with a green card "joke." #Tacky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Angela Posted February 23, 2015 Members Share Posted February 23, 2015 How are the BET/NAACP awards equal opportunity? Those shows are as all black (Hispanic) in nominations as the Oscars are white in nominations. John Legend and Common's performance stole the show for me. Best Speeches Honorable mention to John L/Common and Patricia A. Jimmy Kimmel must have foreseen Sean Pean's joke thus hitting him on the head repeatedly during tonight's skit [or he was giving Sean a taste of what he did to Madonna]. NPH sucked at a substantial level as host. Hopefully they get Ellen back next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted February 23, 2015 Members Share Posted February 23, 2015 I'm glad Mario has called Sean Penn out. He's been showing his ass for a moment. And this scares me b/c with the scandal with his older son referring to a paparazzi as a "n*gger" and this joke, I am fearful about him adopting Charlize's infant son, who happens to be black.

Members NothinButAttitude Posted February 23, 2015 Members Share Posted February 23, 2015 Because they don't play politics and everyone has a fair chance of winning. Same can't be said for the Grammys, EMMYS, Golden Globes, or Oscars. And there have been white people that have won and been acknowledged at these award shows when they don't have to.

Members Angela Posted February 23, 2015 Members Share Posted February 23, 2015 If you mean in just simple politics? I guess I can agree with that. Otherwise, the BET, NAACP awards are as color oriented in nominations as the Oscars usually are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted February 23, 2015 Members Share Posted February 23, 2015 And they were created because we weren't being acknowledged at an Oscars, EMMYS, or Golden Globes; however, there are always white people nominated and winning at both events. Clive Davis just walked away with a Vanguard Award at the NAACP a few weeks ago. Shows like Greys, Scandal, & HTGAWT, which have more white characters [just black leads], have been shown love the past few years at the NAACP awards. Again, they are more accepting & welcoming than what the major three acting award shows are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
