Please bring back decency America.
So far it’s subtle.

1. Yes. That and the many threats to Hollywood... (AI, loss of theater viewers, studios elsewhere...

general economic changes, politics)

[malaise]

9. This year's Oscars is wonderful

That he’s probably tearing the last few strands out of his scalp is even better.
It’s a true Fuck the fascists, racists, woman haters and all MAGAts event.😀

[True Dough]

2. How long until ding-dong Donald takes offense?

And puts out a social media post calling for the cancellation of Conan O'Brien and others who have cracked wise about the shoddy state of the country?

10. I enjoyed Billy Chrystal honoring Rob Reiner, who made some very good films

[Ilsa]

13. And then 83 year old Barbra Streisand honoring

Robert Redford and closing the segment singing the last few lines of The Way We Were absolutely beautifully. She's taken good care of her voice. She brought the tears.

11. It didn't stay subtle. Conan's pedo zinger was the best!

Conan O’Brien made a winning punchline of President Donald Trump and his ties to Jeffrey Epstein during his monologue at Sunday’s Academy Awards.

The Oscars host — who has largely steered clear of politics despite being a registered Democrat — teed up the joke by noting that the 98th Academy Awards marked the first time since 2012 that a British star hasn’t been nominated in either the Best Actor or Best Actress categories.

“British spokesperson said, ‘Yeah? Well, at least we arrest our pedophiles.’ So we’ve got that going for us,” quipped the late night legend, who earned 10-plus seconds of applause from the Oscars crowd.

The host’s joke arrives less than a month after Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, was arrested in the U.K. on suspicion of misconduct in public office as he faced mounting pressure over his link to the late convicted sex offender Epstein.
