“And Jack Nicholson, who warned us: You can’t handle the truth — which is simply what we all want today.”For a group of people both devoted to make-believe yet, supposedly, hungry for truth, here’s one that Hollywood stubbornly refuses to admit to themselves. Outside of Los Angeles’ Dolby Theatre, no one gives a rat’s behind about 75% of what goes on at the Oscars. The Oscars Ozempic parade is upon us — but is anyone brave enough to tell these sickly stars how they really look? The Iranian women’s soccer team shows what real oppression looks like — after feminists’ Olympic bellyaching Ron Duguay reveals latest in Stage 4 cancer battle — and how ‘companion’ Sarah Palin has been caring for him The normie audience at home wants to see glamorous A-listers in their red-carpet splendor. They want to laugh at a dazzling monologue. They want showbiz, baby.thanks to a glut of behind-the-scenes awards. Do we really need to know who is tops at sound editing or visual effects or, the newest category watering down the show’s entertainment value, Best Achievement in Casting?During the Oscars, Billy Crystal paid tribute to slain director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele. He was joined by other actors who starred in Reiner’s films.It took five actors — including Gwyneth Paltrow, who lost me when she used the empty words “lived experience” — to introduce the nominees. Also slowing things down: “” cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw celebrated her win as the first female recipient by urging every woman in the room to stand up because she wouldn’t be there without them.Unlike the Grammys, which is a concert with skimpy outfits and only a few awards, the Oscars feels like a slog — like much of it should take place on a Tuesday afternoon in a hotel ballroom. It’s why the Emmys have a separate creative arts award ceremony, so as to not bore their viewers to death.In a drawn-out and boring presentation, Paul Mescal, from far left, Gwyneth Paltrow, Chase Infiniti, Wagner Moura and Delroy Lindo presented the award for best casting during the Oscars.Noting that no Brits were nominated in the best actor category, he quipped, “A British spokesperson said: ‘Yeah, but at least we arrest our pedophiles.’” That might come as news to all the young girls who were victimized by grooming gangs there.

The new mom delivered a speech that was, as a friend rightfully said to me, “beautifully transgressive.” She praised motherhood — as something that has not impeded her dreams, but fulfilled them and made her professional success richer. She wanted to make 20,000 more babies with her husband.It was a stark contrast to Michelle Williams, who, at the 2020 Golden Globes, drew a direct line from her resume in film to abortion — saying she couldn’t have achieved what she did “without employing a woman’s right to choose.” But the Oscars is not long for broadcast television.
