Imagine Hosting a Governor's Ball on Oscar Night

[malaise]

Isn't that like doing the same for the SuperBowl?
Seems deliberate
ReTHUGs are morons.

Support the Oscars Dems

1. What? Are they going to show the Governor's ball on TeeVee?

Who'd watch a bunch of politicians dancing? They'd be better off doing 'Dancing with the stars'...I STILL wouldn't watch!

2. Seems pretty pointless.

Do they really think they are going to take away viewers from the Oscars?

I have never been a big fan of award shows, but I just might watch this time out of spite.

11. Especially weird because the Academy holds a post-Oscar party

that is also called the Governors Ball! Trump or his boss Bannon are probably doing this to deliberately obfuscate. Tomorrow, when the media is full of pictures of glamorous A-list celebrities at the (Hollywood) Governors Ball, Trump's low-info zealots will be confused and think that these people came to Trump's Governors Ball. As if!
