You Can't Handle the Truth!

See what happens when conspiracy truthers speak out during the Academy Awards.

I saw this video the other day, and I thought it was even better than the one Joy Camp did on the Grammys. 

Hollywood is in severe need of a revolt like they had in the late '60s when the studio system went under and independants took the lead (at least until "Jaws" and "Star Wars" came along in the mid 70s, and the old guard regrouped).  I couldn't believe it last year when "Argo," a total CIA/Pentagon propaganda film, won Best Picture.  How abysmal is that? (At least a similarly themed film, "Captain Phillips," as satirized nicely in the video above, didn't win this year, thank God).

Best Picture concerns aside, this year I was disappointed Judi Densch didn't win for her amazing performance in "Philomena".  I just watched Cate Blanchett in "Blue Jasmine" yesterday (she won Best Actress), and while it was a very nuanced, it didn't move me like Judi's.  She captured that woman's love for her son on a deeply felt soul level. 

Maybe the Vatican nixed it; it sure didn't paint Catholic nuns in a positive manner.

I glad you posted this video I probably would have never known. I wonder if this was completely unscripted or if it was allowed? It seemed to be making light of the man arrested for crashing the pregame chat before the superbowl this year who got arrested. It is still very interesting that they allowed them to say those things on the Oscars. I just wonder how that was possible and if anyone is going to have reprocussions.

p.s. that wasn't really on the oscars, but they did a great job of editing all of those funny reactions

I think you'll appreciate how they bring conspiratorial issues to light using humor.

At least I wasnt the only one lol! Thank you, I will have to check them out. I wonder if there is any connection to the comedian Lee Camp, he is hillarious and also incorporates the conspiracy aspects in his comedy.
