Actors and filmmakers really should stick to their craft: fantasy and make-believe. Every time these imbeciles leave their overpaid fantasy world, they demonstrate their complete lack of understanding of reality. And they did it again at this year’s Academy Awards; which has a sordid history of being a soapbox for self-indulgent narcissists to show their consistent hubris and foolishness.
This year, the director of the best documentary, Jonathan Glazer, most demonstrated the insanity when he spoke for his partners and said, “We stand here as men who refute their Jewishness in a holocaust being hijacked by an occupation.» Clearly, they refuted being Jewish long ago and are painfully unaware of the irony of the statement: had they been in one of the areas attacked by Hamas, they would now be dead or hostages.
And Glazer seems oblivious to the fact that close to 90% of Gazans still support the horrors of October 7 and the charter of Hamas, which calls for the “obliteration” of all Jews, as well as anyone who doesn’t support their fanatical brand of Islam. But hey, it’s the Oscars and a time for film people to show their stupidity.
The Oscars, which by definition are self-indulgent (an award show congratulating yourselves for doing your job?) have in recent years become an opportunity for actors to loudly show off their ignorance about the world. Here is a brief list of their “brave political statements” that have been on the wrong side of history:
In 1975, Bert Schneider produced “Hearts and Minds,” and in his acceptance speech for best documentary, took his time to read a message from a leader of the Viet Cong. Frank Sinatra came out afterward to chastise Schneider and make it clear that the Academy is not a political organization. (Boy, could we use Old Blue Eyes now.)
In 1978, Palestinian supporter Vanessa Redgrave was booed when she spoke about “Zionist hoodlums.» At the time, most of the world recognized the goals and terrorist methods of the Palestinians.
