You know, this push for diversity should be called what it is, “mainstreaming.” Just like putting retards with regular kids in public schools.

SOMINEX LESS EFFECTIVE THAN THIS YEAR'S OSCAR SHOW FOR SLEEP INDUCEMENT--STUDY FINDS.
What kind of "Oscar" show do you have when the following people are subtracted from it:John Wayne,Jimmy Stewart,Jack Lemmon,Walter Matthau,Jack Nicholson,Henry Fonda,Burt Lancaster,Cary Grant,Katherine and Audrey Hepburn,Sophia Loren,Elizabeth Taylor,Meryl Streep,Clint Eastwood,William Holden,Johnny Carson (host)Bob Hope (host),plus comics who showed up for whatever reason (present or entertain)Benny,Burns,Groucho,Martin and Lewis and so many more.
You know what you get?This years show--an exercise in boredom,a snoozefest with zero star power,charisma or entertainment(though Elton John tried).
This years Oscar program--which had DeNiro and Pacino and not much else for big names (advanced in age at that)was sooo devoid of spark that,Hollywood decided to give the "best picture" Oscar to a non-English speaking movie from South Korea--"Parasite".
How exciting was that moment?Not very.The director made his acceptance speech through an interpreter for 5 minutes.
It just made me realize--and Hollywood should too--that they should stick to awarding Oscars for American made films only--and if they can't come up with something better than "Parasite",they might as well pack it in.
I haven't seen "The Irishman" yet--I would probably love it as a throwback to "Casino" and "Goodfellas".I've seen plenty of trailers--and I think that would have been my choice.
I'm SURE Hollywood wanted to show how inclusive they are,by voting in this South Korean film,but it shouldn't have happened.The main reason is,you reduce your own product in the eyes of moviegoers("no American film could beat THIS?"),plus you're not supporting your own industry.Many millions of dollars are made by pictures that win Oscars,in the weeks AFTER the Oscar show.
Now that money is going to a foreign country.
Heads would have rolled in the old days,if this type of un-American voting had occurred in the heyday of MGM and 20th Century (which it wouldn't have--Louis Mayer would have taken names and had them all kicked out of show business).
Anyways,as Johnny Carson would have commented,"THAT'S how boring the show was,the highlight was a South Korean film won best picture."
The Duke would have said,"Pilgrims,what the hells the matter with you idiots,voting a Far East produced movie as best film?You all make me sick."
I'm glad I wasted only 20 minutes on it Sunday evening.The "Oscahs" gets worse every year.
