I never watch this show but for some inexplicable reason I did last night. It was alright, nothing special, probably won't watch it again. But I did find the Trump bashing went on and on ad nauseum throughout the entire show and left me feeling like I was watching some kind of political commentary. Don't get me wrong, I'm no supporter of Trump but by the end the message only reinforced to me how out of touch the Hollywood elite/liberals are with joe average in America (many of whom voted for Trump). Today I read some tweet from a Trump supporter that summed it up perfectly: "This Meryl Streep speech is why Trump won. And if people in Hollywood don't start recognizing why and how - you will help him get re-elected."
I also thought there were too many moments of "Okay, now it's time to showcase the black people again." Not sure if it was the GG that triggered the backlash a couple years ago about not nominating enough minorities but last night felt like someone was overcompensating.
Anyhoo, don't mean to turn this into a political debate. Just saying it seemed really wonky for an awards show.
