That's Entertainment?

What a disappointment! Last night's Academy Awards show was really dull and sad. Everyone making political comments and socially significant speeches. What used to be a fun evening has turned into a showbiz grandstanding. Maybe I'm becoming a grumpy old man but for Pete's sake...bring back the fun and glamour of yesteryear!

The 2021 Academy Awards Show!

I've always enjoyed watching the annual Academy Awards since the early 60s, but they have become increasingly lacking in excitement for me.  The fact that I have not seen any of the films nominated and  that I do not know who the nominees for the acting awards are, make the show less and less attractive each year.  Anyway, it's a tradition I'm willing  to keep as long as possible.

               Although I really don't have any favorites this year, I'll be watching the ceremony.
                                                                    I love this stuff!
