Linda Meyer: Protests, Rock make Oscars a sad spectacle

How sad to see the the so-called Oscars portrayed like that. Can’t we have a show that doesn’t have race cards in it?

Chris Rock sounded like a screaming idiot. Lots of stars got up to thank everyone, then added their political views. Less is more, so the saying goes. Why aren’t the Hispanics, Asians, Native American up there screaming?

What is the next protested event going to be? I think all the old folks should get up there and protest against all the young people getting all the breaks. Well, that is just an example of stupidity at its best. I shut it off. I would rather watch Looney Tunes.

Linda Meyer, Sonora
