The Oscars are still shit. All film award ceremonies are still shit. Why are we still adding to this vacuous bubble of self-satisfaction? Are we so shallow we’ll give acknowledgment to the very thing we hate just to shill out our previously given opinions under the guise of a “special episode”..? Yes we are, enjoy your stupid Oscars special…
