Anyone who didn't see that as a shout out to Bernie wasn't paying attention.

A lot of people watch that... Oscars thingy right?

I'm one of the "weirdos" who don't watch awards shows, either (except for the Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards because my daughter and I like slime). I always feel a bit out of it the Monday after since I have nothing to add to the water cooler discussions of the winners and losers.

I just don't find awards shows all that interesting.

In fact, the only reason I knew the Oscars were on tonight was because I'd read a Tweet about Adam McKay on the #FeelTheBern hashtag on Twitter.

engaged with media and pop culture but truth be told I haven't watched TV in 5 years.

... it's hard to make conversation with normal people because of that lol

Maybe YOU are the normal one?

but I much rather prefer thinking of myself as peculiar and unique.

Good speech.

What more could McKay possibly want?

A unicorn? Perhaps a pony?

When will these people realize that democracy has consequences?
You need to have some "skin in the game."
And, of course, some corporate underwriters. (That goes without saying.)

...told them to cut it out because...

...the checkbook wasn't perforated...

That sort of thing is for the little people.
We don't need to trouble our "beautiful minds" over it.

She also told them to "Stop the shenanigans!" (Exclamation point assumed.)

some of us voters don't get it.

I want to see what ridiculous dresses the women are wearing. I want to see who is wearing something tasteful and pretty that doesn't have too much boobitude showing. In past years, the weird outfits were quite common, and the conventional ones were rare. Now in the past few years that has changed. Tonight I saw some strapless gowns where I did NOT want to go up to the woman and grab her dress by the armpits and pull it up a few inches. Surprise!

I'm sure she's very able to fool herself almost as easily as she fools up to a third of the population.

Loved it.

It was really great. Look for it on youtube.

He also alluded to big money being a big problem, saying we have to fight greed and deal with this biggest threat to our species. He said much much more and they didn't seem to dare play the music to try to get him to stop!

OMG... They're playing the song Fight the Power over the end credits! That's weird.

Glad he won.

Wondering if there were thunderous applause - or not.

I'm sure it will be on youtube soon. Look for Leonardo di Caprio's acceptance speech too, it ROCKED! He went on for a long time about climate change. Very well said plea to save our planet from the greedy corporations.

You clearly didn't bother to do that with the 'headline' of this OP.

We'll see if the public finds it a compelling one.
