What they need to do is just bring in someone to insult everyone there. Or at worst, not take it so seriously. In a perfect world, we'd get every award show like Gervais hosting. The Oscars and these awards shows are just so cynical where the importance of them is just constructed to be when they're ****ing trophies. It doesn't mean anything besides what we make it out to be.
Call me naive, but I thought people made movies to tell stories, not act like the Oscars are the end all be all for their stories. I get the fun of them, but people take them way too seriously. It's a place where all these people just pat themselves on the back and they get on their soapbox. Some are more genuine than others, but actors? Oh, God. They act like they're the center of the universe. Most of these people are insane and disconnected and they go back to their mansions in their limos and move on with their daily scheduled lives. It's easy to say these things, but actually act on them? If someone can tell me if one of these people who have, then that would be great, because I can't think of any. It's not just about wearing black to show support. If these people are so powerful and influential, do something with that. They could create a lot of great change if they wanted to. But most people are complacent and when you add celebrity to it, it's worse. When you add something so insignificant as an award show to it, it becomes perverse.
I sometimes don't blame for Trump supporters for being angry with the "Hollywood elite." Because it's true in cases. They truly are disconnected in their own way like a type of conservative can be. It just so happens they spout progressive ideas so it gives them a pass, but it's just as bad. I'd really like to hear a nuanced political argument from these people.
