Amanda Milius on the Oscars: Hollywood's Abandonment of 'Half of America' Made It 'Culturally Irrelevant'
[BREITBART] Filmmaker Amanda Milius told Breitbart News on Monday that Hollywood undermined its own influence over America by abandoning conservatives.

Ambition within the entertainment industry blocks Hollywood insiders from publicly criticizing false orthodoxies espoused by their peers, Milius stated on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow, author of Breaking the News: Exposing the Establishment Media’s Hidden Deals and Secret Corruption. She noted Tinseltown’s decades of direct and indirect left-wing political advocacy.

"What Hollywood is — and what it’s always been — is a bunch of people who seek relevance and influence more than anything," she remarked. "Nobody’s going to say the emperor has no clothes. Nobody is going to turn around and say, ’This thing we’ve dedicated ourselves to — changing American culture and this sort of cultural Marxist point of view [has] snowballed out of control.'"

Milius pointed to the Oscars ceremony’s focus on COVID-19 as illustrative of Hollywood’s disconnection from most Americans.

She added, ’They really are just culturally irrelevant, like this weird COVID ceremony performative thing that they did last night about. That was also part of it. It wasn’t just the usual wokeness. They also had to do this insane hypochondriac performance while they were awarding their wokeness, which was even weirder. ... It was totally bizarre, totally out of touch."

Fine with me, she is correct, she is in "The Business" and sees the end of "Hollywood", old media will be replaced with new media, 125 year old media out, CGI, holographics in, with AI (Artificial Intelligence) leading the way ---And so it goes --- Right Walter ?

#2 CGI performers are not concerned about their egos. Their writers and producers maybe, but its one less in the mix. CGI performers have no union. It's one less cost. Everyone else's cut just got bigger.

#3 So right. You can't watch anything anymore without encountering LGBTQWerty propaganda or some nonsense about how black people have been treated differently or how dumb and insensitive christians are.

They destroyed most superhit franchises and icons of our time, and appropriated already successful tropes and themes for dykes, trannies and other minority deviants. Stupid unoriginal bastards can't produce a thing now without inserting their narrow minded, hate filled philosophy.

#10 Best comment (I think from the Wall Street Journal) was that you'd expect people whose business is creating entertainment to be able to attract a larger audience to the Oscars. Since this is their business, after all.

#11 If I wanted to be scolded all night, I would have purposefully loaded the dishwasher wrong.

It was a referendum on Woke, both the message and messengers, and it was way more than half of the American audience.

#13 With single-digit million viewers they may be optimistic in thinking they've only abandoned half of America.

#14 You think the Woke is bad now, wait until they don't have to worry about a viewing audience at all and can just woke each other.
