Everyone was tuned in to see Meryl Streep slap Dame Judy Dench.<\/p>\n<p>This alone would have given the show some energy. The show continued for almost four hours (3:40), and was led by Jimmy Kimmel, who is the most boring of all hosts. It doesn&#8217;t seem like the show can pull off an A-list host.<\/p>\n<p>With that, two things are clear: Few people in America want to watch the Oscars \u2014 and the limousine liberals in Hollywood couldn&#8217;t care less. It seems that the celebrities of Tinseltown, who are tone deaf, are trying to drive viewers away by praising each other&#8217;s little-watched films.<\/p>\n<p>Kimmel could write funny jokes for a full year &#8220;The Slap Heard \u2018Round The World.&#8221; Comedy legend Chris Rock ended his live Netflix special last week with a fiery tribute to actor Will Smith.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s Kimmel&#8217;s take: &#8220;We want you to have fun. We want you to feel safe. Most importantly, we want me to feel safe,&#8221; The star-studded audience was captivated by his story.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So we have strict policies in place: If anyone in this theater commits an act of violence at any point during the show, you will be awarded the Oscar for best actor, and permitted to give a 19-minute long speech,&#8221; He said.<\/p>\n<p>This is not Rock-level material. It&#8217;s more common to hear comedy of this caliber at your local Chuckle Hut.<\/p>\n<p>The opening was also beyond safe \u2014 nothing like what Ricky Gervais has done at the Golden Globes. The British comedian mocks the Hollywood elite in these classic shows.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ricky Gervais roasts Hollywood at the 2020 Golden Globes | The Washington Post\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3vuT8ki9yM4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Kimmel instead went around the room naming celebrities, and delivering a lame joke which drew little laughter (some of it was utterly hilarious). &#8220;You know a show is too long when even James Cameron can&#8217;t sit through it.&#8221; Oof.<\/p>\n<p>Kimmel stated that the show would feature &#8220;diversity and inclusion.&#8221; That&#8217;s something every viewer wants \u2014 don&#8217;t give us the best movies of the year, just make sure some people who wouldn&#8217;t normally get a nomination get chosen.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There will be no nonsense tonight, we have no time for shenanigans,&#8221; Kimmel spoke. &#8220;This is a celebration of everyone here. You told us you wanted all the categories back in, and we listened. They&#8217;re all back in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s 23 categories. Twenty-three! Half of them are movies you&#8217;ve not only never seen, but never heard of \u2014 and almost completely unavailable to watch.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We put all the categories back in because the movie community wanted it, almost as much as the television community didn&#8217;t want it,&#8221; Kimmel spoke. &#8220;So no complaining about how long the show is.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There you have it. If the Academy didn&#8217;t care, they wouldn&#8217;t. <em>You\u00a0<\/em>You can watch the winners and the award ceremonies. It&#8217;s all about the show. <em>They<\/em>They&#8217;re <em>Artists<\/em>So you won&#8217;t ever understand.<\/p>\n<p>It will be the 100th Oscars in five years. The show may have only 187 viewers by then. Hollywood doesn&#8217;t seem to care one bit.<\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece do not necessarily reflect the views of The Daily Wire.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph Curl is a 35-year veteran of politics, having served 12 years as White House correspondent in a national newspaper.
