| | | ITEM 1: The New York Post reported, "How The Irishman went from Oscars 2020 front-runner to biggest loser."
The story said, "The Irishman, which began as the season front-runner, had been unceremoniously offed by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. But that was only the wild-and-crazy Globes, right? Wrong. It was everyone. None of the major industry award-granting bodies — the Producers Guild, Screen Actors Guild, Writers Guild or Directors Guild — sided with Martin Scorsese’s Netflix film, instead largely showering love on 1917, a late entry about WWI, and the South Korean film Parasite, which went on to win the Best Picture Oscar.
"That streak continued at the Oscars on Sunday at the Dolby Theater, where The Irishman lost all 10 of its Academy Award nominations.
"What went wrong? How did Scorsese’s sprawling film go from a critical darling that blanketed Times Square with domination-asserting ads and was seemingly watched by everyone … to being a giant Oscar loser?"
Answer: Trumpenfreude.
Robert De Niro has been deranged in his contempt for President Donald John Trump. Even in anti-Trump Hollywood, no one wanted to see him deliver another F--- Trump acceptance speech. |
