(If you don’t like Jerry Lewis, stick with it anyway: he doesn’t do his “Idiot character” here. Claudette Colbert hosts the New York City event.)

Oh, for the good old days!.

Yeah, I had that thought at the opening number, too. NTTAWTD.

Love to see millionairesses who are Down for the Struggle. Heartwarming, innit? Patricia Arquette took a lot of Red-on-Red flak when she said gays and people of color[TM] should support women’s struggle like women had supported them: she was attacked for not being “intersectional” enough.

Yes, “intersectionality” is now A Thing. You automatically Must Remember that a person can be a Woman, And a gay person, And a person of color, And you must also Say All Of Those Things.

Or Else.

God, they’re exhausting.

Hated Cate Blanchette’s dress: it looked like the arms had been torn off of it, and the back ripped open with pinking shears. The turquoise necklace I didn’t like either: looked like something you could get off the dime store counter (Tiffany’s, how could you?).

I couldn’t work up the interest to watch for any reason. I watched a 1935 Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. movie, Man Of The Moment.

I’ve got more time in the red carpet chow line than most of these so called “stars” have in the business.

There were directors
There were producers
There was one who was a sales executive
Yeeeeeeesh…

I don’t know, maybe I’m just obsessed with this.

Patricia Arquette has an audience of tens and tens of millions of people in the world last night. She could speak on so many, many issues facing the people of earth.
Women in muslim countries not allowed to be educated.
These women are abused. They are essentially enslaved. In Egypt, muslims there mutilate their women with clitorectomies.
CLITORECTOMIES!!!
The “Slave Trade” crosses many boundaries across many countries. It is occurring right here in the United States. Young girls being forced into prostitution——here in AMERICA.
So many abuses facing women.
And what does Patricia Arquette choose to speak about as her “beef”?
An issue that was settled over 50 years ago.
Wage inequality.
Is that really an issue which women believe to be MOST significant?
You know, from the perspective of a woman?

Silence…

( The Left is so provincial in their ideology. So very narrow, limited, unsophisticated. FACT )

A person that finds A beautiful and B ugly, generally has mutually incompatible ethics with a person that finds A ugly and B beautiful. It’s strange like that.
