CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MARCH 29, 2022
I REMEMBER THE DAYS WHEN THE ACADEMY AWARDS AND THE FILMS THEY HONORED WERE MOSTLY WORTH WATCHING.
SUNDAY NIGHT’S OSCARS WAS MORE OF WHAT WE HAVE COME TO EXPECT. THREE WOMEN HOSTED – NO MEN NEED APPLY – AND THEY SPENT THE FIRST TEN MINUTES OF THE SHOW TRASHING ALL THINGS REPUBLICAN AND CONSERVATIVE.
WANDA SYKES, WHO HAS ONE OF THE TRFASHIEST MOUTHS IN SHOW BUSINESS, MADE A REFERENCE TO FLORIDA WHERE GOVERNOR RON DESANTIS SIGNED A BILL THAT BARS GENDER REFERENCES FROM KINDERGARTEN THROUGH THIRD GRADE.
THERE WAS A MOMENT OF SILENCE AT THE END FOR WHAT IS HAPPENING IN UKRAINE, BUT THAT WAS AS EFFECTIVE AS SOME OF PRESIDENT BIDEN’S POLICIES.
THE LOWLIGHT OF THE SHOW CAME WHEN ACTOR WILL SMITH JUMPED ON STAGE AND SLAPPED COMEDIAN CHRIS ROCK IN THE FACE. ROCK HAD MADE A JOKE ABOUT SMITH’S WIFE AND HER HAIRCUT. ABC CUT THE AUDIO, BUT INTERNATIONAL BROADCASTERS DIDN’T AND SMITH COULD BE HEARD USING A FAMILIAR BUT CRUDE WORD. SMITH AND HIS WIFE HAVE ACKNOWLDGED THEY SLEEP WITH OTHER PEOPLE. AND THAT’S NO JOKE.
RATINGS WILL BE OUT SOON. THEY ARE LIKELY TO BE LOW AGAIN. THESE SPOILED CELEBRITIES JUST DON’T GET IT. I’M CAL THOMAS.
