Fuck the Academy Awards!

The Academy Awards. The Golden Globes. BAFTA. AFI. MTV. Teen Choice. People's Choice. DGA. Cannes. New York. LA. Blah blah blah. It never ends. There seems to be more award ceremonies for performance artists than there are agencies of the government and factions of all major religions combined. They all appear to be substantially the same: grand entrances, grand ceremonies, and grand debauchery. The motion picture industry is super-saturated with shameless asslickers, cocksuckers, and self-back-patters. The Academy Awards are the largest, most famous and most prestigious of them all, therefore the scummiest and most worthy of derision. Director William Friedkin said the Academy Awards were "the greatest promotion scheme that any industry ever devised for itself". No shit, Sherlock.

Throughout the glitter, glamor, and wet and dry secretions and excrement that characterizes Hollywood and everything associated with it, there HAD to be some show-biz folk out there who really didn’t give a fuck about the Oscars, and there were! I’m pretty sure I’ll never see what I’d REALLY like to see at an Oscars ceremony (Jack Nicholson on the stage wearing a small intestine for a necktie while he simultaneously ass-fucks Meryl Streep and bitch-slaps her with a hard rubber spatula leaps to mind), but some of these characters had the right idea.

The first major star to give the Academy the finger was George C. Scott, who won the Best Actor award for the 1970 film Patton. Scott, who was already known for declining awards, felt he wasn’t in competition with other actors and said the Academy Awards was a "meat parade" and refused to accept his Oscar.

Not long after that, it took no less a person than the notoriously kooky Marlon Brando to take Oscar-snubbing a step further; rather than accept the award in person for his role in The Godfather, Brando elected to have a cute squaw, replete in Native American costume, decline the Oscar on his behalf and read a lengthy statement about how Hollywood mistreats and misrepresents Native Americans in film and TV. The myth of the noble savage has been spreading like a gay prostitute’s butt cheeks ever since.

It was Brando who set a precedent for awardees to make political statements at the Oscars. In 1978, lime-sucking actress Vanessa Redgrave, after engaging in fascist and anti-Semitic activities, issued a lengthy leftist statement denouncing fascism and anti-Semitism while accepting her Best Actress award. Famed writer Paddy Chayefsky, himself a Jew and at the same ceremony to present the award for Best Writing, had this to say in rebuttal:

"Before I get on to the writing awards, there's a little matter I'd like to tidy up - at least if I expect to live with myself tomorrow morning. I would like to say, personal opinion, of course, that I'm sick and tired of people exploiting the Academy Awards for the propagation of their own personal propaganda. I would like to suggest to Miss Redgrave that her winning an Academy Award is not a pivotal moment in history, does not require a proclamation and a simple "Thank you" would have sufficed."

We can also thank the leftist show-biz hypocrites like Mrs. REDgrave for the propagation and spreading of that mind-numbing and brain-dumbing disease also known as political correctness. They lionize transvestite crack whores and illegal aliens while treating what they consider “white trash” as fourth-class citizens in their own fucking country. They suck the dicks and lick out the assholes of criminally-insane “gangsta rappers” but then bitch and whine about “microaggressions”. Those very same limousine liberal assholes will order their chauffeurs to run you over so they won’t be late for the next “Save Darfur” benefit.

Starting in the 70’s, politics in the motion picture industry took another form; films that used the prestige of the Academy to further their own financial success. Winning an Oscar was icing on the cake; merely being nominated for an Academy Award became a sales and marketing tool that continues to be employed to this day. Almost every advertisement for a movie I’ve read lately begins with something like “Critics agree! This movie is Oscar material!” A perverse but logical extension of this practice is the production of films that have come to be known as “Oscar Bait”.

I can't remember the last time I watched the Academy Awards, and I plan on keeping it that way. I will always keep my own counsel regarding what I think is good or bad, and I wish others would do the same. A lot of things start out good and wind up bad, and the Oscars are no exception. Any time politics and/or political agendas become an integral part of something where it really doesn't belong, it's pretty much ruined. People can watch whatever they want, but on Oscar night, I'll be watching something else, unless I'm doing something more emotionally rewarding and intellectually stimulating, like clipping my toenails.
