Andrew Klavan On The culture. "The Academy Award nominations were announced this week. Usually I try to respond to the announcement with some sort of satirical piece in which I give awards to movies that, for political reasons, never got made. For instance, this year I might have celebrated the movie about the brave cop who stands up to charges of racism in order to bring down a Muslim rape ring in Britain, or the one in which an angry father hunts down a murderous illegal immigrant after a jury lets him off to show how woke they are, or maybe the hilarious college comedy about the snowflake students who can't hear conservative ideas without going into therapy.
"But this year — forget it. The Oscars no longer matter enough to satirize. Here's(sic) three reasons why." . . . Outline below:
- First, Movies Are No Longer America's Art Form
- Second, Oscar Winners Make Carping Political Speeches and They Don't Know What They're Talking About
- And Third, Politically Correct Quotas Make the Awards Meaningless
