Hollywood Elite Urge Actors to “TRASH TRUMP” During Acceptance Speeches
Well, if you needed yet another reason to avoid the Oscars, we have it for you.
Hollywood elite, led by Oscar-winning screenwriter John Irving, is urging Hollywood to show MORE “outright bias” against President Trump during their acceptance speeches.
Yep, that’s just what we need – more out of touch, clueless celebrities popping off about things they know nothing about.
Yuk.
From The Smoke Room
“What is needed from Hollywood now is more ‘outright bias,’” the 74-year-old Oscar winner, wrote in an op-ed Monday for the Hollywood Reporter. Oliver, who won an Oscar for writing “Cider House Rules,” said that there should be “no protocol” governing this year’s speeches at the Academy Awards and talking about President Donald Trump.
Examine the outright bias of President Trump; consider the sexual dinosaur that Vice President Pence is,” Irving said. “In Trump’s administration, LGBT and abortion rights are in danger. Whatever the protocol for Oscar acceptance speeches is, or was, the creative community has an obligation: to be intolerant of intolerance.”
“I hope there’s no protocol governing Oscar speeches this year — well, except for the length of the speeches,” he added. “But should the Oscar acceptance speeches be political? No, that’s not my point.”
“People who are disinclined to speak out (politically) should not be harassed,” he continued. “If there are Trump supporters, let them speak. What I’m saying is that anyone with something political to say should feel free to say it.”
“Here’s the opportunity that Oscar winners are given: a brief moment with a global audience,” he said. “It’s a small statuette, but the first time you hold it, you’re surprised by how heavy it is. What might feel heavier to Oscar winners, this year, is that we do represent (however fleetingly) a community of artists.”
“In our community, tolerance of intolerance is unacceptable,” he added. “President Trump’s intolerance is glaring. Trump isn’t worrying about presidential protocol.”

I don’t care about the Oscars I won’t be watching it
You would think they would know by now that the more they trash him the more we love him!!!
I’m boycotting going to the movies period. I don’t want my $12 going to support these Hollywood losers. Trump Rules.
I feel the same way, haven’t been to the movies for months , I don’t want to support anti American scumbags
At the first political comment, I will turn it off. Pass this around to some of the shows sponsors will see it.
I don’t care about HollyWeirdos and any nomination awards ceremonies, never watch them. Awards for being fake and pretending. A fictional character is a person in a work of art such as a novel, play, opera or movie. If it is a made-up person or imaginary person (not someone who really or actually lived) it is a “fictional character”. In reality they will never amount to the people who has really had to live it or struggle through life challenges and they are not victims as the rest of society has to live with daily uncertainties, struggles and feeling unprotected. Hollyweirdos, don’t live like the rest of society they are RICH with all amenities and protection provided to them. Very Neglectful Govern Brown of California should be pandering to disrespectful trash talking HollyWeirdos, RICH CELEBS, to fork out the billions or trillions to repair the Oroville Dam. I hope Trumps ask California Governor Brown how they calculated the cost for the infrastructure and ask for detail proof of all cost and charges for restorations. What company hired to fix the infrastructure and detail sheet of what the money was use on. Go Trump!! MAGA Those are leftist HOLLYWEIRDOS HATERS, you’ll love to never throw your hard earn money on.
I stopped watching that boring political crap a long time ago..The actors of today cannot come close in class to the wonderful actors of yester year..Now I know why Hollywood once went after the commies, and Black balled them..to prevent what is happening today.. A shame..I really enjoyed watching the award shows..Now it’s all liberal propaganda BS.
They forgot that the people made them what they are. Those jerks. Without us watching they would be nothing. Don’t even understand what they are complaining about. Basically I don’t pay attention to that mouthing of theirs. I love my President and that is final.
Bwaaaahahaha – what has Trump said about LGBTQ(XRTUIYCSEAFHJ) or whatever they’re calling themselves these days? Nothing. The snowflakes jump on a bandwagon that doesn’t even exist. Just mad that their skank didn’t win.
I never watch that shit anyway…THEY LIVE IN UNREALITY..IDIOTS.
They can entertain themselves. No one I know is watching that bunch of cry babies
Free speech! Let them say whatever they want – I will even enjoy their helpless struggles because the speeches that really matter are now given by MY president!
They live in the make believe land they portray on the screen. I am beautiful, I am wonderful, people adore me, they worship me, I can do no wrong , etc , etc. These idiots think they are infallible , and the American public has begun to show them that they are. “We have the power ” is their rallying call. Guess what ? We the people have the power, not you jokers. We can choose to stay at home, not go to the movies. We can turn the television off and not watch you. We can stop buying your records and videos, we can skip your concerts and shows. That’s why we, not you, have the power and if you don’t stop trying to force your political views on us that is exactly what will happen. Is happening right now, We are fed up with you and your tremendous egos .
