Did The Oscars Forget Something?

This year’s biggest flop of the award show season goes to the 92nd Oscars. Last year the cavalcade of snooty Hollywood celebrities drew a viewing audience of 29.6 million.  This year’s viewing audience sucked hind tit with 6 million fewer people watching.

The annual spectacle of snobs in their gowns and tuxedos and “ethically harvested gold and sustainable diamonds” always features a montage of notable deaths in the film industry over the past year.

The “In Memoriam” segment this year failed to pay tribute to actor Luke Perry best known for his role in Beverly Hills 90210 and a cameo role in one of the year’s Best Picture contenders Once Upon A Time in Hollywood.

It also failed to pay homage to a young man, Cameron Boyce, known for his roles in the Disney franchise Descendants.  He was 20 years old.

The most unfortunate oversight of the evening however, according to comedian Dennis Miller, was when they left Joe Biden’s campaign out of the segment.

Biden has already conceded he will lose the New Hampshire Primary and a new Quinnipiac University poll released Monday shows his support among black voters is cratering.  He enjoyed 49% support before his disastrous fourth-place showing in Iowa.  His support has suffered a loss of 22 points dropping to 27% percent.  Joe is done.  Stick a fork in him.  His highly touted firewall in South Carolina looks more like a brick wall with an X marking the spot where he should beat his head against it.

After an uninspiring ten months of “Hey, remember me?  I was Barack’s Vice President” schtick, he doesn’t have what it takes to win the nomination.  Bless his heart.
