I watched most of the Oscars last night but missed the opening monologue. So I don’t know how political JK got. But for the rest of the ceremony it seemed like a memo went out to “make all the subtle political points you want, but don’t actually mention Trump or the presidency.” Seems like Hollywood might be getting the message that alienating tens of millions of customers is not a great business strategy.
Also Shape of Water gah. The Academy selects another completely irrelevant movie as BP.
