I watched the end and learned that milking cows is horrible and wrong.

1917 should have won.

There are very few things in this world more self serving than award shows. People voting and giving themselves awards to tell us how great they are.

Unless it’s CMA’s and Carrie Underwood in a dress. Then I’m in

I didn’t see any of the other movies, but after seeing 1917, I have a hard time imagining that it wouldn’t have won. It’s REALLY good.

1917 was stuffed with modern thought.

"let's pull that German out of that burning plane" said no one who has been strafed by one.

Record low but still 20 plus million viewers which is hard to do today outside of the NFL

Its still a shared experience just shared by a lot less folks

In the three network heyday you got canceled for less than 30 million viewers and there were a lot less viewers.

This post made me miss Archie Bunker and Redd Foxx.

Humanity is modern thought.

I actually watched it for the first time in five years and thought it was one of the better ones I’ve seen. I’m glad @RoadDawg55 and his crew won for best picture.

But yeah, award shows are dying. Too many of them, too long, and too political.

Ricky ruined them. I’m not sure there’s ever been a funnier and moar effective mic drop in history.
