We all know that God has not been an invited guest at the Oscars, or any left-leaning public event for that matter, for some time now. From the boos He received at the Democratic Convention to the tepid smattering of apologizing applause He received during Matthew McConaugheys inspirational Best Actor acceptance speech, it is clear that the Lord is a four letter word in more ways than one to these folks. I have not watched the Oscars since my doctor suggested that I stay away from inane, superficial, fawning, hypocritical, and politically biased tripe for the good of my mental and physical health. The tipping point for me may have been 2004, when the Academy honored Leni Riefenstahl, a filmmaker who placed her genius in the service of Hitlers extermination of Jews, the same week the Left was bashing Mel Gibson as anti-Semitic for The Passion of The Christ. We were told by these hypocrites that they were honoring Riefenstahls genius apart from the fact that she used Jews as extras before they were shipped off to death camps, or that she admitted to being fascinated by Hitler. Just two years earlier, in fact, the Academy presented a Lifetime Achievement Oscar to another genius director, Elia Kazan, whose masterful work included Gentlemens Agreement, which has been described as ahead of its time in decrying anti-Semitism. Numerous members of the audience sat on their hands in protest to Kazans honor, simply because of his role in naming Communists at the height of the Cold War.
