Cancel Oscars? Hollywood Reacts to Trump's Immigration Policy

They're going to show us

Although most celebrities are firmly against the president’s recent immigration ban, entertainment reporters are in disagreement over how Hollywood should collectively protest. Some, like one Vox critic, are even advocating for the cancellation of the biggest awards event of the year.

“Speeches ultimately don’t risk all that much, because the people delivering them are speaking to a room full of mostly friendly, well-off liberals,” Vox critic Todd VanDerWerff wrote, commenting on the increasingly political tenor of Hollywood awards events. “Canceling the [Oscars] ceremony altogether would be a bolder and more appropriate act of protest.”

Variety critic Owen Gleiberman didn’t go quite as far. Gleiberman believed it “okay” for Hollywood to get political, even though, he said, that very politicization helped elect President Trump.

“The perception — right or wrong — that people in the entertainment industry are standing on a pedestal telling the rest of us what to think has become part of the problem, not the solution,” he explained. Yet, in his opinion, artists have a bully pulpit for empathy and truth, and the stakes are too high not to use it.

Man, that's going to show those Trumpsters. They'll just cancel the Oscars.


OH, how I hope they do.


Gotta love how so incredibly transparently liberal Hollywood is. It's amazing how unashamed they are of their extremely political bias. They aren't even attempting to hide it anymore. It's all out of the closet now.
