The “where were all the movie stars at the Oscars?” question annoyed me because it felt like it was a dig at Michael B. Jordan in particular, who is arguably the biggest Millennial movie star in the world right now. [LaineyGossip]

What an odd article by Lainey. There were tons of movie stars at the Oscars, as there always are. Jack Nicholson and his fellow “elder statesmen” who the author mentions that used to show up at the Oscars every year are…elderly now? Sitting through a 4 hour ceremony is probably pretty hard for them? My mom is 79 and won’t sit down to watch a 2 hour movie anymore because that’s too long for her. My 80 year old father in law falls asleep during the half hour nightly news. Imagine them having to sit through 4 hours of speeches.
Older, sleepy but also probably uninterested, they wanna eat earlier, and real hot meals and be comfortable in their joggers and hoodies?
Also, I don’t know why but I also feel like “movie stars” are no longer the “movie stars” of yesteryear. It feels more like “very popular actors”, “most in-demand actors now”?
Lainey loves MBJ, she’s not out to diss him. It has seemed like that for the past few years only people who have a project going on attend the Oscars, but it must have been like that for a long time. There are only so many seats to go around and movie productions are huge.
I’m just confused by who they wanted to see? Tom Cruise? Brad Pitt? Gross. Julia Roberts? Sure, but even they are not going to save the Oscar’s viewing numbers. It’s moving to YouTube next year right? So it’s all changing anyways. But yeah felt like they wanted to see old white stars there.
While there’s nothing wrong with limiting your kids screen time, the thought of those three kids growing up without the memories of having a favourite movie, or the excitement of going out to the cinema together as a family, just makes me sad.
I agree. Not allowing kids access to cell phones and tablets is one thing, but movies are a form of communal storytelling (and often watching is a communal activity). This is sad.
Also, that’s what their dad and their grandfather do for a living. Strange to keep them from that.
I get the we used to see the previous generation of stars at the Oscars nostalgia, but the industry not building up and supporting this sort of generational star anymore is the problem. Also, everyone used to live and work in LA. Easy to show up. That is no longer the case and it’s the studios fault. Blame them.
God forbid those kids should learn anything about the world. This smacks of cult behavior.
The wing hack (to save you time) is the way most people eat wings. Or at least most men. Or at least my man. 🤣
I feel like this award season was dragged out far too long and maybe they were not interested in attending yet another awards show.
