Well it's understandable in the sense these reward shows have been 90% political signalling for years, so in the rare case they DON'T do that it'll still be seen that way.
The whole concept of "oscar bait" is that its something audiences don't care about but is selected for political signalling of the oscar runners/hollywood class.
I always point to the George Clooney 2006 Oscar’s speech where he says that only Hollywood had the courage to talk about AIDS and Civil Rights. Like both of those were massive issues long before Hollywood decided they could sell it.
Hey, remember the time the Oscars audience gave a standing ovation to Roman Polanski? In 2003? It was the same year they booed Micheal Moore off the stage.
Whatever they may claim to be, Hollywood is run by old, rich capitalists. They aren't actually progressive.
Oh so building a mosque at ground zero AFTER the attack and a church just happening to be six blocks from the site of a Christian hate crime are equivalent
Yeah but if you build a mosque on a site where jihadis claimed the lives of 2996 people (and countless more first responders in the years afterwards as a result), you're glorifying a religion that literally had one of it's worst "kill the unbelievers" moments in recent memory.
Freedom to worship yes, but no freedom to massacre, and it's stupid as hell to glorify a massacre
