#3 "No healthy company or organization should rely on one source of support to a degree that could cause concern if that support decreases," he told the outlet.

#4 Oops.

"No healthy company or organization should rely on one source of support to a degree that could cause concern if that support decreases," he told the outlet.

Well, keep flashing that middle finger at that one source will make that happen.

#5 Can't remember going to 4 theaters in the last 10 years.

Last time was Sound of Freedom, almost 12 months ago.

The Oscar's have become little more than a Liberal Political Vent Rally now.

I will not support the Oscar's by watching, the actors by going to their movies, or those theaters showing their stuff that funds their mouths.

#7 The best thing for the Oscars would be to use that $500 million to make some decent movies.

#10 MacAfee is their only hope. Maybe they can roast Tom Brady again and give out movie awards after the show.

#12 'Like Pee Wee's Playhouse, but spastic and retarded'
/bad quote I wish I had made

Look. I know I've commented, but a DEI inclusion ruined the Roast of Tom Brady. Being a former Chief's fan, Tom Brady getting tapped on the head for a Personal Foul which turned the game, I get one way or another old school football fans would be interested one way or another.

They managed to put in a 'roaster' who was lame and gay.

Ruined the immersion.

#13 Sadly, since I have boycotted them my entire life, I can't boycott them more. Honestly I just never gave a crap about them anyway. Most of the so called "Oscar worthy" movies wind up in the bargain tub at Walmart anyway cause real humans don't watch that crap.
