I WON'T BE ATTENDING OR WATCHING...BORING...SO PREDICTABLE
Hollywood’s latest hypocrisy is perfectly timed. Here we are, Oscar weekend. Those who watch — and if this awards season trend holds, about 12 people might tune in — will doubtless hear more preaching and proselytizing than usual from our social justice warriors in Hollywood: The pandemic, the election, Black Lives Matter, structural poverty, bias and racism, the need for compassion, inclusivity, kindness, calls to demolish power structures and leaders who abuse the weak and powerless — all are guaranteed talking points. When this year’s Oscars tanks, it won’t just be due to the pandemic. America, it seems, is on to Hollywood’s greatest performance of all: Hypocrisy in plain sight.
