7 Times the Oscars Got "Too Political" | Lovett or Leave It

[@Greystorm1619]

Louis’ knowledge of insanely specific entertainment moments never ceases to amaze me

[@JackAShepherd]

Is he the Jane Fonda Historian

[@rebeccaelliott9770]

Jon and Louis is a brilliant combo - more please!!

[@ermeeleer]

Louis Virtel 👏🏽... 👏🏽... 👏🏽 That's a slow clap. Amazing 💯

[@tweety1864]

Louis is a got damn treasure! How does he keep all of this information in that mind!!!!

[@miss_elaineous_]

If this is the birth of a Lovett-Ira feud, I can only hope that the Ryan Murphy miniseries about it is half as compelling as the real events.

[@demh7823]

When Conservatives say "keep politics out of the Oscars", what they are actually saying is: "don't make political statements that I disagree with".

[@podsaveamerica]

Bingo!

[@JackAShepherd]

They seem to like Gone With the Wind just fine!

[@AnimationNation2004]

I’m a conservative and that’s not what I’m saying when I say keep politics out of it. What I mean is that I’m fine with diversity in film. I actually encourage that. But when it’s preached so much it feels forced like when they do stuff like they do, all I see is “HEY WE’RE DIVERSE PLEASE LIKE US.”

I recently watched Portrait Of A Lady too. Barbara Hersey is a gem. If you haven't seen A World Apart, with Jodhi May - who never ages BTW, please see that movie.

[@JackAShepherd]

A podcast/you tube video that is actually helping me write. And I feel better. And that was inspiring. Louis, right f&%ng on.

[@Kjt9653]

As soon as the announced 'best picture' it went to an ad of that girl carrying all those full beer glasses thru the bar. Literally thought that the option and she absolutely has my vote.

Saoirse Ronan should have been in one of the mispronounced names. She’s nominated so often and people still butcher her name at awards shows and nominations :)

Lovett: "Silouhette?? That's just being tall." CLASSIC. p.s. I'm 5'6". p.p.s. Jon, marry me. p.p.p.s. Virtual is the absolute best. A vast pool of knowledge and calm sensibilities. And he looks great in that blonde wig in the photo behind him. 💕💋

The real crime of the Demi Lovato situation is making people in Westwood feel as though it is the center of the universe (saying as someone who has lived in Westwood 😜)

No offence to Louis, but I am way OKAY with not knowing any of those oscar moments. Life's too short, man.

[@wisemandaryn5953]

Actors are inherently empathetic and compassionate -- it's how they're able to do their work in the first place. Unfortunately, there are far too many people in the world that still cling to generational lies in the face of logic & reason. This year, Regina King's short commentary on the Floyd murder trial was a "controversy." It wouldn't surprise me if the statements were clipped during a rebroadcast or if certain regions censored her words. Apparently the relevant and relatable perspective of a black mother is just too much to handle. 🙄 One thing I will say about this year's awards is how lame the 'In Memoriam' segment was; most of them went by so quickly you could barely register what you were seeing. What purpose did that serve -- to cut down on running time?? If so, I suggest they go back to the drawing board on that one.

Actually, Corden is bisexual, so I think that counts. Plus, Beaches is an underrated masterpiece. XD

[@rosepetal34]

James Corden? no he is not/ i don't know why America keeps casting James Corden in gay/ bisexual roles instead of giving them to actual gay or bisexual people but he's not either he's straight

[@telectronix1368]

@@rosepetal34 "instead of giving them to" It's the director's call, if they feel a particular person is suited to conveying a particular character/storyline then.....they get the role.

[@rosepetal34]

@@telectronix1368 I’m not necessarily saying that straight people can’t ever play gay and bi roles (I don’t think cisgender people should ever play trans roles though) its just that James Cordens portrayal of gay characters is awful/, seen very differing opinions on this from directors and writers, Russell t Davis who is probably the most famous/ prolific gay tv writer/ producer in the UK now refuses to cast straight actors for gay roles

[@telectronix1368]

@@rosepetal34 Tbf the character is written as an extreme personality, it's not as if the role was meant to be a reserved, bookish type and Corden just.......made it gay. 😁 Personally I don't think any actor 'should' not play any role or type, other than race (and more because there is so much history of conflict and mistreatment that it just causes more problems) as long as the director feels they can convey the reality of that character and story.
