Tom Cruise deserves an Oscar. He's been due for a long while. Even though his religion is wacko.

This we can agree on.
He should have won a supporting Oscar for Magnolia.

What a joke... this has to be one of the most eye-rolling, hollow "statements" I've ever seen. I'm so glad she's getting called out for this complete virtue-signaling act.

Forum 16 had a 7 page thread dissing and discussing the "irrelevant" Oscar's. Totally normal stuff.

Save for Phoenix's rant, which I admittedly tuned out and don't remember most of, the only other political message I heard all night was Pitt's John Bolton comment, which wasn't that controversial, considering a number of people on both sides of the isle seem agree that it's standard practice to, you know, allow witnesses at a trial. I didn't see that as "sh/tting on red America" at all. I'm with you that celebs can certainly be sanctimonious blow hards, but I honestly felt that the political messaging was incredibly tame last night.
Just going to call you out on your BS. The house could have waited to clear the courts on Bolton testifying but Hollywood's rep decided not to wait and push forward on impeachment without waiting, then claimed he had an airtight case, but needed more witnesses to make it more airtighterer.
ETA: the first part of Phoenix's speech was pretty cringy but the second part was actually nice.

Forum 16 has infinitely more opposing politics viewpoints as the Forum 13 echo chamber.
It really is impressive, the reality distortion field some of you are able to create.

if that's the case, why do you need more witnesses?
Look, I know you live in hollywood and it's not like you always fall lock and step with dems, but that comment was asinine on your part.
YOUR rep said we had enough evidence to take to to the senate, then when he got there, said we need more witnesses because our case isn't strong enough without them. All they had to do was wait a few weeks to get the testimony and they honest to God probably could have got him.
i'm not a Trump voter. i think he's a moron, but yours and Pitt's little pithy comment was BS and you know it.
"yours and Pitt's little pithy comment" - I just feel cool being associated with Brad Pitt in this manner, as if we're buds.
Then what are you even on about?Quote:

That's nothing, Brad Pitt and I together, have 7 Oscar nominations and two wins.
We need staff to come nuke this thread. It's over.
Because the democrats knew, regardless of how many witnesses they called in the house, they would never have enough evidence to get 2/3rds in the Senate to impeach Trump. They also knew they could scream all about "more witnesses" in the Senate, not get the votes to get more witnesses and then claim "cover up" and their lemmings in the media, and hollywood would fall for it.c-jags said:what distortion?TCTTS said:

Take it to the political boards, folks.
We have a forum for this argument. It isn't this one.

Perhaps TCTTS should have made that statement on the politics board, rather than start an impeachment fight over here. You guys have him to blame for that.
How can you not love Charlize Theron?
"Where's my shot, honey?"
NM. De-escalating. My bad. I take blame for the thread derail.
TCTTS, you're a valuable asset to the board and I love your takes most of the time. I just think Pitt took a complicated issue and dumbed it down to look cool in front of Hollywood.

The book was fun and Hesher was great. So I will give her a pass
Sometimes different worlds collide; this includes politics and entertainment. I dont think you have to banish posters to 'Forum 16'...when they're discussing Hollywood's political statements made at the Oscars.
If Portman, Pitt, De Niro or the countless others want us focusing on the Oscars, and dont want us talking about politics, they shouldn't use the Oscars to voice their opinion of the political landscape. Save that for twitter.
Otherwise if we're going to talk about the events at the Oscars...their myopic political statements made at the awards ceremony are fair game. It's actually an issue that's have been front and center at these events in recent years. So in my opinion, it would be weird to discuss everything else at the Oscars, and ignore the political statements.
At minimum, Pitts statement lacked context. There are differing reasons witnesses weren't allowed in the House, as well as the Senate. I dont care what side you're on...it's unbelievably ignorant to focus on one, more than the other. Fair is fair...but that should go both ways. But focusing on a singular witness like Bolton is wildly missing the target.
It's very similar to making a stand for female directors, while only hiring male directors.
Maybe someday they'll all take Ricky Gervais' advice, and we can just talk about their pictures. Until then...

I'd wager most posters here would actually be happy to discuss Politics with others who have an interest in the topic as it relates to The Oscars, entertainment, etc. I certainly would.
The problem is, if you look at the politics related posts in this thread most are from people who admit they didn't even watch the show and immediately start painting others with a broad "Hollywood mindset" brush. They aren't here to actually discuss anything, they're here to state their opinion as loudly as possible and fan the flames.

I hear you. That's annoying.
Reminds me of the people who hop on threads about a Star Wars movie and quickly bash it based on "everything they've read"

Sometimes the cast and crew or critics throw unneeded shade that fan the flames. Then people who haven't seen it judge a movie because of those comments.
I was tepid to see Knives Out because of all the people saying it was a giant FU to Trump supporters (and not to go there, I'm still a little tepid of Rian.) Not that I necessarily am one but I identify with that worldview sometimes.
Then I see the movie and it's effing fantastic and anything "political" was done in a pretty benign funny way.
I didn't watch the Oscars, but I didn't comment at all on what was said on Suday. My comment had to do with the discussion here at the time regarding the bad ratings the Oscars were getting. People were pondering if it was cord cutters, twitter, and things like that. My point was that the reason I and people like me didn't watch was because of all the politics they spout. It was completely on topic and one of several legitimate reasons viewers are turned off by the Oscars.fig96 said:

Regarding the broad "Hollywood mindset" brush, they haven't limited their opinions merely to the 2020 Oscars. They spout their BS all the time in every form of media available. I never watched the 49ers play either, but I was still well aware of the crap Kaepernick was spouting. The idea that I couldn't criticize him unless I had watched the most recent 49ers game he played in is preposterous.
