I used to enjoy the Oscars. Up until around 2011-12 they were slightly woke. Maybe 10% of the broadcast. But in the last 6-7 years the entire thing is embarrassingly woke. They don't hide it.
I liked it when after YEARS of being ignored and only being nominated once, when Alfred Hitchock got the lifetime achievement award the academy spared no expense, flew many people out expecting a great long speech, he got up on stage, thanked his wife, said thank you very much and left the stage. They were furious but could do nothing, lol.
Yeah somehow Scorsese fails to win for Taxi Driver or Raging Bull or Goodfellas and has to wait till 2007 for a win? Hitchcock has one win out of how many iconic movies that are still studied in film school to this day? Tarantino doesn't get a best picture until 2020? Pulp Fiction, which splashes the advent of post modernist film making into the mainstream, loses to Forest Gump? Forest effin Gump???. It's a joke.

Doesn't matter. She still brought issues plaguing Native Americans onto America's largest stage. At a time when it wasn't trendy to do so. The ire directed at her also didn't care whether she was a true Native American, or just playing one on TV.
In 2022, in a forum on my work, I respectfully pointed out that I don't need diversity /inclusivity when I start a business. I stated that what's needed are: - qualified personel - motivated people - honest workers. I nearly lost my job....
It doesn't take away from his point, but I still fail to see why he didn't mention it at the end or something. She definitely was not Native American in the least bit.
Yeah that was ripe for a joke about the fakeness of virtue signaling, everyone being full of shit in the end. But I guess he didn't want to take that side track.
I've read that Littlefeather's siblings claimed she was actually not native American, despite her own claims, but an actress who thought she was. Today's liberals would've blasted her for culture appropriation, and putting on "red face".
@@timrthoward7007 Actually true. Her wikipedia page says: Littlefeather knowingly misidentified as having White Mountain Apache and Yaqui ancestry,[3][5] while in reality he had Mexican ancestry with no tribal identity
Today's liberals would have eventually ripped her apart for not being liberal enough, like they do everyone else. That's why democrats can't gain any ground.
They still have the Oscars or movies for that matter. We can't believe our theater even stays open. Its been forever since I heard anyone talk about going to a movie. Must be why so many actors are doing commercials now when back in the day it was beneath them.
I haven't been to a theater since the first Dr. Strange movie and I have no intention of ever doing so again. No Netflix, no Disney+, ect... Fuck Hollywood.
Interesting that the graphic about environmentalism showed "The China Syndrome". This movie, along with the Three Mile Island accident which happened at the same time, actually set back environmentalism by decades as it put an irrational fear of nuclear power in the American public that we are just now starting to get over. Just think about how much smaller our carbon footprint would be if we had continued to develop nuclear power.
@@tl1110 Yes and no. Sometimes joining the enemy system, even if you still regard them as "the enemy", is the best pragmatic solution. That's where progressive politicians come from.
I agree with you Bill on a number of things, but did you completely forget that Littlefeathers real name was Maria Louise Cruz, who is actually Mexican/American pretending to be Native American? I agree that people should be treated humanely, but it's another thing entirely to pretend to be the very people you are claiming to help. It's disrespectful. Virtue signalling at its finest. Pretty important thing for people to know about her.
George C. Scott also used to beat the sh*t out of Ava Gardner. To the point that her previous husband, Frank Sinatra, had to step in for it to stop. I wouldn’t take any of George C. Scott’s moral outrage seriously.

My 4 questions to the Academy regarding their '2 of 4' rules requirement: (1) How shall a casting director determine the authentic sexuality of those auditioning? Must a gay man 'prove' his gayness, on the spot? "Pound this man's ass, or remove yourself, schnell!" (2) How are the children of mixed race couples to be categorized? Does the Academy require two mixed race actors to replace one black actor, and vice versa? And does your answer apply to bi-sexuals and straight peoples? (3) What if my great grandmother is Middle Eastern by way of Israel? What percent Jewish must an actress be before qualifying as a Jewess, heir Eichmann? Or are Jews (a statistical minority in America and perhaps history's most marginalized peoples) categorized as mere whites? For that matter, is The Irishman in or out? Meaning is DeNerio an Irish-Catholic minority, working for Italian immigrants, or are they all white guys? Same again for Goodfellas and The Departed. Seems to me every Scorcese film may be in jeopardy. (4) Lastly, did the governing body who implemented such juvenile and unenforcible rules, meet its own requirements?
I thought the craziest part about that woman at the Oscar's was that her family spoke out and said how they are from a proud Mexican-American family and that she just chose to hide that.
Not just Mexican-American. But the Mexican site is castillan Spanish. On other words she's entirely of European descent from both parents. She wore the clothing and the name of natives like a costume. She's a literal European colonizer
The tradition of Hollywood leftwing denizens LARPing while giving each other undeserved praise obviously goes back quite a bit & is alive and well today!
The last Oscar show I watched was when John Wayne won for his role in ‘True Grit’. I decided to watch this year to see if anyone slapped Jimmy Kimmel. I was disappointed in so many ways.
The best Oscar telecast was when the streaker ran across the stage and David Niven at the podium quipped about him"stripping off and showing his shortcomings"...🤣😂
Streaking was popular at that time. I heard later that Niven paid the guy to do it, and had the joke ready. If you watch the replay, he doesn't look even slightly surprised when the streaker runs out on stage.
@@davester1432 Never heard that he paid the guy, but you're right about him knowing ahead of time and had the quip ready to use. Niven was smart, but he was no Johnny Carson or Billy Crystal with adlibs.
Interesting take on Hollywood. I definitely prefer Ricky Gervais’ bit on it. The more “progress” they act out and speak on at the awards, the more clear the division between them and real people (which is probably why nobody watches it but there are more views on people digging on it)
I think people will watch this year they actually nominated movies people went to the theater to see like Avatar 2 and top gun Maverick and everything everywhere all at once that's going to make a difference 🙂🤞

The only thing Bill talks about these days is the younger generations and woke culture topics. It's seriously so overdone and stale at this point. I miss progressive Bill from the early 2000s when he would rail against Bush and the war hawks in government. I think Trump broke his brain.
@@Kejame doesn't take much to break the 🧠 of the " Woke " common sense and Logic will do the trick including biology, mathematics, physics Chemistry... and especially the term " Scientific Method of THEORY "
Bill, you are a national treasure. A sense of humor molded by the tv shows, movies, standup, and commercials of the 70's-90s is a superhuman attribute. It can't be explained to those who do not possess it. We who lived during those eras are a dying breed. We can save this sh*t hole if we get busy not giving a f**k what people think again.

And he didn't even address that fact either. I thought he was going to tie it to George Santos not being a jew and all the other fools not being what they are yet going to extremes like having medical procedures done on them to turn them into the weirdos they say they truly are.

That's because it's a contradiction of itself. He's bitching that liberals are being too much lately, while simultaneously applauding how they slowly move the country forward. His examples are cancelling out his original point. Whereas I would argue that modern liberals aren't moving the country forward, because they've become, for the first time ever, the ones who are completely intolerant.
@@thagodwecreate5179you get almost 100% white Mexicans, almost 100% native Mexicans, but most are a mix. She looks mostly white to me. Anyway, her family said she had no tribal ties, so she was apparently making it up.
Wokeism can be ridiculous in the extreme, I agree. But. They are often talking about things that are important. The environment. War. Social justice. Their approach is sometimes childish and thoughtless and too often self centred. The good issues are being argued by the wrong agent. This too, I hope will progress as Bill pointed out.
Sacheen wasn’t from a U.S. tribe but that is who Marlon Brando asked to represent him & he thought his peers would respect her to read his letter since he did not feel right to be at the Oscars when Indian people were being murdered by the U.S. gov’t. “Thunderheart” is a movie based on true events about what was happening at that time to the Lakota people. Please watch it.
@@naturalnashuan Move forward by sharing their pronouns, pinning down everything on racism, earning millions and claiming to be empathetic towards the under privileged strata of society, making narrative driven content that seems forced at best??
Not really. Moving isn't progress. Progress is only judged in hindsight. Moving is only hoping/believing we are headed the right way. But we never know until we look back. That's how progress is measured: the real world butterfly effects of our actions that only time shows.
The Bible actually does condemn slavery, "Whoever steals a man and sells him, and anyone found in possession of him, shall be put to death". Exodus 21:16.
Hm, I wonder why the church wasn't solidly against the practice for all those years ... oh yeah, those OTHER parts of the Bible, like Jesus telling slaves to obey their earthly masters. They kinda got in the way, which is why Christians weren't all abolitionists. If that line was the beginning and end of it, slavery ought to be as hard to find in Christian history as homosexuality. 'Neighbor' in some cases means 'member of your own tribe'. If they're not one of yours, sky's the limit.
@@paullanier3597 The Oxford Languages defines a slave as- a person who is forced to work for and obey another and is considered to be their property. If you steal someone and sell them so they can be owned by someone, that is slavery. The verse also says those who buy men who have been stolen should be killed.
@@markferguson5924 I'm not saying the entire book condemns slavery or that every Christian has condemned slavery. Yes, the Bible does set rules for slavery, but one of those rules is that master should treat their slaves justly and fairly (Colossians 4:1). If the history of the world teaches us anything it is that slaves were not treated fairly. Treating slaves harshly was an un-Christian thing to do. So was stealing people from Africa and bringing them to the Americas. It is true that not all Christians were not abolitionists, but just because someone identifies themself with a religion does not mean that they follow ALL of that religion's principles. We can debate this all we want, but I'm just pointing out a verse from the Bible that goes against slavery which Bill says there are none of.
@@peytonthomas4338 Abolitionists had to squint and contort to get their desired reading of scripture in the 19th century, and the Christians on the other side had it a lot easier coming up with quotes. Don't waste my time with Orwellian redefinitions. In a way the fundamentalists are more respectable than the moderates because they don't play this game of 'it's slavery but maybe it's not REAL slavery, it's still 'fair treatment', not harsh at all'. Slavery does not mean slavery (looking at Yorkie Hunt's nonsense), day does not mean day (to not be creationists), stone does not mean stone (to accept gay people), unclean does not mean unclean (to accept women at all times of the month) ... so anything can mean anything and nothing's set in stone, wonderful. It makes moderates better behaved than fundamentalists, but their whole concept of truth (including moral truth) is mush, and now you're talking about enslaving people and still being 'fair' to them. It's darkly hilarious.
And they are who, you, the Fox News folks (so they can complain about it yet again after watching and tuning in) and the prominent right wing conservative podcasts? Ben Sharpiro?
I hadn't thought about it, but I wonder if that's why I prefer old movies to almost anything that comes out today? I stopped going to movies years ago.It's hard to find almost anything out of Hollywood today that isn't garbage.
Couldn't agree more. Saw a clip (I haven't watched ANY awards show in decades) of Jamie Curtis getting award for some movie I haven't even heard of! Hollyweird is DYING.
Bruno Ganz had probably the best performance of 2004, and one of the greatest in movies history and was not even nominated. But you can´t receive an Oscar for portraint one of the worst ( if not THE worst ) men in history. Yes, I´m talking about Hitler...
@@SergiovsousaGeez, That's 20 years ago. I thought Bruno did an amazing job but not everybody gets trophy and expecting one especially while playing Hitler seems ridiculous to me.
Maher missed one of the most ironic things about the Sacheen Littlefeather saga which was that she wasn't even Native American -- she was Hispanic. Her birth name was Marie Louise Cruz!
That's right, for criticizing the Iraq war I believe? I gotta pull that up. Despite their liberalism Hollywood got pretty on board with the war on terror hysteria and virtue signaling patriotism after 9/11. And once they're all on board with something they don't like dissenters. Funny to think one of the first woke moments on television came when Affleck got mad about the criticisms of Muslim extremism as racist. People weren't having that shit in the Bush years, if anything people encouraged you to profile Muslims and "say something if you see something."
@@louisduarte8763 He was booed. You have to remember that he called out the Iraq war when even Oprah Winfrey was behind it, and Oprah was the last word.
... and yet Jesus was telling people to obey their earthly masters a long time afterward. The problem, until very recently, was that the 'wrong people' were enslaved. If they've got the wrong gods, go grab 'em. (Getting grabbed by the Babylonians doesn't count because, er ... shut up!)
@@JezielProdigalSon The fact that the Israelites were freed to go on and enslave others and not see anything wrong with it, because it was all about the 'right' people being enslaved. If the Bible actually preached abolitionism, slavery would have been treated like homosexuality, surely.
Its because, this is where, many of societies bad ideas start. Im on twitter but normally trying to expose these terrible ideas. eg Latinx and pronouns.

Today's show was excellent. Both guests were thoughtful and knew when to contribute, when to shut up, that includes Bill. And it was generally just filled with calm, intelligent conversation where both the questions and the answers given actually provided insight instead of just being an expression of someone's agenda and self-interest. Quality guests make for quality shows.
Which makes outrage back in 1973 even more cynical because she was just advocating. You don't have to be in the group to be able to complain about their bad treatment and discrimination.
@@cc8751 What exactly is cultural appropriation? 🙄 You sound like the exact kind of thing Bill rants about, except you only bring it out when it is "appropriate" to something you dislike. You really fail to see the irony, of Hollywood, at their most prestigious award show, of someone calling them out, and she isn't actually in that class but is only ACTING like she is. (A fact that wasn't discovered until after she died). There are so many ironies that this could be a graduate class at university.
I'm not even able to watch the Oscars as I'm still suffering because my Norwegian heritage continues to be appropriated by the NFL and the Minnesota Vikings and no one even mentions this atrocity!

They also said that their father, who was born in Oxnard, California, was of Spanish-Mexican descent and had no tribal ties."
Doesn't matter. She spoke the woke, and in Hollywood that's all that matters.
So you're saying Sacheen was committing cultural appropriation?
@@afridgetoofar1818 She was committing cultural advocacy.
She was the first trans racial griftor
Doesn't matter. She still brought issues plaguing Native Americans onto America's largest stage. At a time when it wasn't trendy to do so. The ire directed at her also didn't care whether she was a true Native American, or just playing one on TV.
In 2022, in a forum on my work, I respectfully pointed out that I don't need diversity /inclusivity when I start a business.
I stated that what's needed are:
- qualified personel
- motivated people
- honest workers.

The Oscars are one of the many windows capturing glimpses in time, of both movies and culture.
Definitely thought this was about the fact that she wasn’t actually native and made a whole life story up according to her known relatives
It doesn't take away from his point, but I still fail to see why he didn't mention it at the end or something. She definitely was not Native American in the least bit.

I've read that Littlefeather's siblings claimed she was actually not native American, despite her own claims, but an actress who thought she was.

That myth is busted, stop spreading it.

They still have the Oscars or movies for that matter. We can't believe our theater even stays open. Its been forever since I heard anyone talk about going to a movie. Must be why so many actors are doing commercials now when back in the day it was beneath them.
I haven't been to a theater since the first Dr. Strange movie and I have no intention of ever doing so again.
No Netflix, no Disney+, ect...

Interesting that the graphic about environmentalism showed "The China Syndrome". This movie, along with the Three Mile Island accident which happened at the same time, actually set back environmentalism by decades as it put an irrational fear of nuclear power in the American public that we are just now starting to get over. Just think about how much smaller our carbon footprint would be if we had continued to develop nuclear power.

I agree with you Bill on a number of things, but did you completely forget that Littlefeathers real name was Maria Louise Cruz, who is actually Mexican/American pretending to be Native American? I agree that people should be treated humanely, but it's another thing entirely to pretend to be the very people you are claiming to help. It's disrespectful. Virtue signalling at its finest. Pretty important thing for people to know about her.
Her family came out and have stated she is no “American Indian” and it was a massive virtue signal . .

My 4 questions to the Academy regarding their '2 of 4' rules requirement:
(1) How shall a casting director determine the authentic sexuality of those auditioning? Must a gay man 'prove' his gayness, on the spot? "Pound this man's ass, or remove yourself, schnell!"
(2) How are the children of mixed race couples to be categorized? Does the Academy require two mixed race actors to replace one black actor, and vice versa? And does your answer apply to bi-sexuals and straight peoples?
(3) What if my great grandmother is Middle Eastern by way of Israel? What percent Jewish must an actress be before qualifying as a Jewess, heir Eichmann? Or are Jews (a statistical minority in America and perhaps history's most marginalized peoples) categorized as mere whites? For that matter, is The Irishman in or out? Meaning is DeNerio an Irish-Catholic minority, working for Italian immigrants, or are they all white guys? Same again for Goodfellas and The Departed. Seems to me every Scorcese film may be in jeopardy.
(4) Lastly, did the governing body who implemented such juvenile and unenforcible rules, meet its own requirements?

I thought the craziest part about that woman at the Oscar's was that her family spoke out and said how they are from a proud Mexican-American family and that she just chose to hide that.
ya she was not native american it was a lie
Not just Mexican-American.
But the Mexican site is castillan Spanish.
On other words she's entirely of European descent from both parents.
She wore the clothing and the name of natives like a costume.
She's a literal European colonizer

That was the most optimistic, uplifting, positive Maher segment I think I've ever heard. Caught me off guard :)
The last Oscar show I watched was when John Wayne won for his role in ‘True Grit’. I decided to watch this year to see if anyone slapped Jimmy Kimmel. I was disappointed in so many ways.
The best Oscar telecast was when the streaker ran across the stage and David Niven at the podium quipped about him"stripping off and showing his shortcomings"...🤣😂
Hey yeah, I remember that. 😆
Streaking was popular at that time. I heard later that Niven paid the guy to do it, and had the joke ready. If you watch the replay, he doesn't look even slightly surprised when the streaker runs out on stage.
@@davester1432 Never heard that he paid the guy, but you're right about him knowing ahead of time and had the quip ready to use. Niven was smart, but he was no Johnny Carson or Billy Crystal with adlibs.

Interesting take on Hollywood. I definitely prefer Ricky Gervais’ bit on it. The more “progress” they act out and speak on at the awards, the more clear the division between them and real people (which is probably why nobody watches it but there are more views on people digging on it)
I think people will watch this year they actually nominated movies people went to the theater to see like Avatar 2 and top gun Maverick and everything everywhere all at once that's going to make a difference 🙂🤞

When Bill Maher says "the Godfather was a long Tik Tok," he sounds like Dean Martin cracking jokes about those young whipper snappers the Rolling Stones.

It can't be explained to those who do not possess it. We who lived during those eras are a dying breed.

Thanks for being a faithful guardian of the faith.
BTW, her family came out and said she had NO Native American blood in her at all!
So, the Oscars happened, thanks for telling me, Bill.
exactly
😂😂😂now that progress
The academy should have recognized Ms. Littlefeather's ability as an actress in costume.
She wasn't even native american
And he didn't even address that fact either. I thought he was going to tie it to George Santos not being a jew and all the other fools not being what they are yet going to extremes like having medical procedures done on them to turn them into the weirdos they say they truly are.
This could really upset the 5 to 10 people that will be watching the Oscars this year.
Oh stop. There'll be at least twice that many.
Have their viewership numbers gone up?
I guarantee it’ll be at least 25 people minimum
You clearly didn't listen to the segment

"The Godfather was a long tiktok"

I remember watching it on TV in the 70s, & at the beginning, the network put a disclaimer like "the following program depicts a small group of organized criminals & is not meant to be representative of an entire ethnic group." I watched it just to see the horse head in the bed scene...
Bill is such a conservative..
Little feather wasn't even Indian. Lol
I felt like there was a lot of potential in this monologue but the plane never really landed.
welcome to the new Bill Maher.
He should have addressed that at a minimum she wasn't "Native" and how she was in fact masquerading like Rachelle Dozellee lady
That's because it's a contradiction of itself. He's bitching that liberals are being too much lately, while simultaneously applauding how they slowly move the country forward. His examples are cancelling out his original point.
Whereas I would argue that modern liberals aren't moving the country forward, because they've become, for the first time ever, the ones who are completely intolerant.
@achilleshoplite she was Mexican, that's as native as it gets.
@@thagodwecreate5179you get almost 100% white Mexicans, almost 100% native Mexicans, but most are a mix. She looks mostly white to me. Anyway, her family said she had no tribal ties, so she was apparently making it up.

The punchline is that Bill wishes he was Marlon Brando.
yes, i hoped Bill would destroy this woke circus, and what we got was actually a praise.
Maybe actually listen to what he said then
Wokeism can be ridiculous in the extreme, I agree. But. They are often talking about things that are important. The environment. War. Social justice. Their approach is sometimes childish and thoughtless and too often self centred. The good issues are being argued by the wrong agent. This too, I hope will progress as Bill pointed out.
@@goobda_ i mean he made many times comment against the woke
He just defends what people calls woke
Sacheen wasn’t from a U.S. tribe but that is who Marlon Brando asked to represent him & he thought his peers would respect her to read his letter since he did not feel right to be at the Oscars when Indian people were being murdered by the U.S. gov’t. “Thunderheart” is a movie based on true events about what was happening at that time to the Lakota people. Please watch it.
Little feather wasn’t even First Nation - she was culturally appropriating.

One of Bill's better takes in a while.
just because he didn't get where you wanted him to go (which is what your favorite party programs into you) doesn't mean he isn't right.
"progress" aka moving in the direction WE want to go.
Progress: when everyone has a victim mentality
Not really. Moving isn't progress. Progress is only judged in hindsight. Moving is only hoping/believing we are headed the right way. But we never know until we look back. That's how progress is measured: the real world butterfly effects of our actions that only time shows.

The Oscars get it wrong virtually every year.. Go back and look at who won against who was nominated that year and it doesn't age well...
She's not even native American. She was an actor
The Bible actually does condemn slavery, "Whoever steals a man and sells him, and anyone found in possession of him, shall be put to death". Exodus 21:16.
Hm, I wonder why the church wasn't solidly against the practice for all those years ... oh yeah, those OTHER parts of the Bible, like Jesus telling slaves to obey their earthly masters. They kinda got in the way, which is why Christians weren't all abolitionists. If that line was the beginning and end of it, slavery ought to be as hard to find in Christian history as homosexuality.
'Neighbor' in some cases means 'member of your own tribe'. If they're not one of yours, sky's the limit.
That's a passage against stealing, not slavery.
@@paullanier3597 The Oxford Languages defines a slave as- a person who is forced to work for and obey another and is considered to be their property. If you steal someone and sell them so they can be owned by someone, that is slavery. The verse also says those who buy men who have been stolen should be killed.
@@markferguson5924 I'm not saying the entire book condemns slavery or that every Christian has condemned slavery. Yes, the Bible does set rules for slavery, but one of those rules is that master should treat their slaves justly and fairly (Colossians 4:1). If the history of the world teaches us anything it is that slaves were not treated fairly. Treating slaves harshly was an un-Christian thing to do. So was stealing people from Africa and bringing them to the Americas. It is true that not all Christians were not abolitionists, but just because someone identifies themself with a religion does not mean that they follow ALL of that religion's principles. We can debate this all we want, but I'm just pointing out a verse from the Bible that goes against slavery which Bill says there are none of.
@@peytonthomas4338 Abolitionists had to squint and contort to get their desired reading of scripture in the 19th century, and the Christians on the other side had it a lot easier coming up with quotes.
Don't waste my time with Orwellian redefinitions. In a way the fundamentalists are more respectable than the moderates because they don't play this game of 'it's slavery but maybe it's not REAL slavery, it's still 'fair treatment', not harsh at all'. Slavery does not mean slavery (looking at Yorkie Hunt's nonsense), day does not mean day (to not be creationists), stone does not mean stone (to accept gay people), unclean does not mean unclean (to accept women at all times of the month) ... so anything can mean anything and nothing's set in stone, wonderful. It makes moderates better behaved than fundamentalists, but their whole concept of truth (including moral truth) is mush, and now you're talking about enslaving people and still being 'fair' to them. It's darkly hilarious.

That's right, for criticizing the Iraq war I believe? I gotta pull that up. Despite their liberalism Hollywood got pretty on board with the war on terror hysteria and virtue signaling patriotism after 9/11. And once they're all on board with something they don't like dissenters. Funny to think one of the first woke moments on television came when Affleck got mad about the criticisms of Muslim extremism as racist. People weren't having that shit in the Bush years, if anything people encouraged you to profile Muslims and "say something if you see something."
Not me. I thought everyone in the audience that night who thought the same as him (i.e. everyone in Hollywood) cheered what he said.
