    Oscars the 'wokest ever, stars/hosts used the platform for their speeches

    Oscars dubbed the 'wokest ever' after stars and hosts used the platform to give virtue-signalling speeches

    Award host Regina King had kicked off the night by hailing the conviction of Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd, director Travon Free showed off a jacket emblazoned with the named of black people killed by police on the red carpet and Mia Neal then spoke about 'breaking the glass ceiling' for trans and minority ethnic people in her acceptance speech for best hair and makeup.

    Wokest Oscars ever! Chadwick Boseman fans slam Oscars after he loses out to Anthony Hopkins for best actor as Regina King hails Derek Chauvin verdict and winner Mia Neal dedicates her speech to black trans women

    Regina King praised conviction of Derek Chauvin, Travon Free wore a jacket emblazoned with names of black people killed by police, and Mia Neal spoke about breaking the glass ceiling for trans and minority people

    Film fans have blasted this year's Oscars ceremony as the 'wokest ever' after a string of virtue-signalling speeches by stars - before Anthony Hopkins was attacked for winning the best actor award above Chadwick Boseman.

    One Twitter user commented: 'It was the wokest most diverse Oscars ever! Imagine that...'

    I stopped paying any attention when, in 1998, Shakespeare in Love was named Best Picture over Saving Private Ryan.

      The FUNNY part is that here in the Democratik People's Republik of Kalifornia, they are viewed as "essential workers".

      I have yet to figure out "essential" to who.

        I don't watch stupid Hollywood ceremonies. But saw on the media all about it. Very disgraceful and full of BS!

          Because they sometimes play characters with intelligence, they think they ARE intellegent.

                  I havent paid any attention at all since Joe Pesci was ignored for his greatest role ever in 'The Irishman'.
                  Wasn't paying much attention prior, but that was the last straw.

                    I understand that the number of viewers was down over 60%. I watched the first 10 minutes or so just to see how they were doing things but found the whole show offensive and turned it off.
