You may have noticed that the Academy Award nominations were announced this week.
It is also notable that few cared.
That's really too bad because one of America's great cultural contributions to the world is our film industry.
Well, it used to be, anyway.
Gone are the days of the glamorous movie star and incredible films. Today we have superheroes blowing stuff up and dinosaurs rampaging through San Diego - frightening everybody except the homeless who are not moving from the Gaslight District, no matter what.
The televised Oscar show will be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, who'd better watch himself, or an audience member might pull a Will Smith.
Kimmel is your essential wise guy, but he understands the woke world in which he lives. As Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young once sang: "Step out of line, and they'll come to take you away."
Anyway, few care about politically correct Hollywood these days. Don't believe me? Okay, what was the best picture last year?
It was CODA. Didn't see it. But I'm sure it was woke.
See you tonight for the No Spin News.
