Hey! Actors, Actresses, writers and directors fuck your political views and opinions, your thoughts are skewed, reasoning sucks and your facts are a joke. We the general publics live in the real world everyday, we don't give a shit about your causes. Do what you do, remain clues and stfu... Mofo

LoooooooooooooooooL.

For real though that was tough to watch last night. Every other god damn person came up and it was gender equality this, immigration that, more black people are incarcerated than any other race blah blah blah

I love how apparently there is still a war on women.

I don't watch it anymore precisely because of this.

This.

When I heard the one about more black men incarcerated, I said "then quick committing crimes".

What does the speed of the crime matter?

Did you expect something else from those who dress up and play make believe for a living?

I said "that because there is more Blacks today and more stupid Blacks than ever before... get an education mofo"
Then I thought to myself.. No activist Blacks ever talks about the facts that more Blacks are killed by Blacks everyday ... Seem that Intellectual Blacks wants to blame everyone else for their plight but the real cause and effect

What was I thinking... thanks for the reality check ...

I agreed with Meryl Streep or whoever it was....we should all have equal wages, we should all get paid as much to do our real job as they do to pretend. EQUAL WAGES FOR NON ACTORS

Belly you post your opinions on here all the time. Do you think anyone cares about yours?

I watched about 2 minutes of the show last night and it was the portion where John Legend was complaining about more black men being under control of the Department of Corrections today than were under the control of slave masters before the civil war.

That was about all I needed to see for the evening.

^^^(at Zwick)Off the top of my head, I would say that this falls within the scope and purpose of this site. The "Oscars" is an award show for film accomplishments, and unfortunately some are using it for a political platform..

Basically the Oscars has become a platform for liberal political cliches. I don't watch award shows because who cares? but hearing about all the grandstanding last night makes me laugh.

I wouldn't waste 2 minutes on these quacks, and I haven't been to a movie theater in over 30 years; I refuse to support support such a bent group of people.

The "Glory" performance was powerful. A couple of millionaires bringing tears to the eyes of other millionaires, one being consoled by a billionaire.

This hope this helps Zwick

Some numbers first. According to a breakdown of median weekly salaries from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the gender pay gap is consistent across fields. Disparities between men and women’s earnings exists in all but seven of the Bureau’s 600 listed occupations. Men who drive buses, prepare meals in cafeterias, run companies and watch your kids, on average, make more money than women who do the exact same work.
A quantitative analysis from the Government Accountability Office also found that the pay gap persisted between men and women even after factoring in part-time work and women working fewer hours or taking time off after they have children or when a family member falls ill. So Arquette is right about the pay gap being very, very real and badly in need of correcting.
But take a closer look at the gap and you’ll find that the numbers often used as shorthand — women earning 77 cents on the dollar — isn’t reflective of the much starker wage gap faced by women of color. Black women who work full-time year round, on average, earn 64 cents on the dollar, and Latina women earn just 54 cents.

According to research from the Williams Institute, lesbian workers earn less than both straight and gay men. They also lack legal protection from being arbitrarily fired, harassed on the job and discriminated against in 29 states. Trans women also experience rampant pay discrimination. And in a majority of states, they are also denied the basic legal protections to ensure they can find and keep a job at all. (And these aren’t neat or stable categories. A trans woman of color is forced to contend with multiple forms of discrimination that limit her earnings.)



Interesting and something to be aware of IMO.

WTF did I just read?

Women also tend not to negotiate, are less educated, work less hours and have higher gaps in work experience. The reality is, if you are being underpaid compared to someone else, that's your own fault. There isn't anyone I know that sits in a room and goes "Oh a woman, let's pay her less". Sorry, but that's not how reality works and that's also highly illegal.

From my own experience, the women I tend to work with take a lot of time off work, show up late, never stay late, complain about everything and shirk any additional responsibility. It's no surprise they get less wage increases then some of their colleagues who just happen to be male also but in REALITY its because men on average just outright WORK HARDER than their female counterparts. I'm sure there are exceptions to the rule but again I live in REALITY, not some mythical gender gap designed to create a false dichotomy to exploit people into voting for a certain party.
