Yes, folks, Chris Rock is a racist. His comment regarding police shooting black people on their way to the movies was absolutely disgusting. How could he be allowed to get away with a remark like that? Respect the police. They put their lives on the line each day to keep us safe even when it means, heaven forbid, forfeiting their own lives or getting seriously injured.

Vice President Biden and Lady Gaga talking and singing about sexual misconduct on the college campus? What hypocrisy. The Academy gave sex offender Roman Polanski a best director Oscar several years back for "The Pianist."

As for the show, it got better once that Mad Max film won its 6 Oscars.

Sly Stallone losing was a major upset. Could conceivably rank with Roz Russell (Mourning Becomes Electra) losing to Loretta Young in The Farmer's Daughter or Cliff Robertson in "Charly" beating out Peter O'Toole in "The Lion in Winter."

By the way, when was the last time an Asian person was nominated? A Jewish thespian hasn't been nominated in 2 years as well and no one from the latter community is carrying on. African-Americans carrying on like this are doing a disservice to those of their race who have been nominated and won through the years.
