A Night In The Bubble, Hollywood’s Annual Parade of Amnesia, Narcissism, and Marxist Make‑Believe
If you missed the Oscars last night, congratulations! You probably spent your evening doing something grounded in reality. For the rest of us who tuned in (or suffered through the clips afterward), it was yet another reminder that no species on earth suffers from narcissism, self indulgence and a more catastrophic lack of historical memory than the Hollywood marxist/communists.
The Oscars have become the Super Bowl of self‑importance. A night where the Hollywood elite gather to reassure each other that their worldview is the only one that matters. They live in a bubble floating high above the messes they create for everyone else. While the rest of America deals with inflation, crime, border chaos, and the daily grind of real life, these folks float above it all, lecturing the country from a stage decorated with gold.
The speeches were exactly what you’d expect. Javier Bardem , “free Palestine,” of course. Jimmy Kimmel whining about censorship while hosting a show broadcast to millions. A parade of actors and directors lamenting oppression from the comfort of their designer gowns and multimillion‑dollar mansions.
It’s the same script every year, written by people who haven’t stood in a grocery store line, paid a utility bill, or worried about public safety in decades.
Kimmel was a masterclass in unfunny narcissism. His monologue felt like a lecture from an HR department, smug, predictable, and utterly disconnected from the people who actually keep this country running.
But the highlight, the moment that perfectly captured the night’s intellectual bankruptcy, came from Maggie Kang. She claimed her film was some kind of cultural breakthrough, apparently forgetting that Parasite won Best Picture just six years ago. In Korean. Made by Koreans. Celebrated worldwide.
As a Korean American, I couldn’t help but laugh. Korea has been producing world‑class cinema for decades. Oldboy is a cult classic. Squid Game became a global phenomenon. It’s the same historical illiteracy that gave us Jennifer Lawrence claiming The Hunger Games was the first female‑led action movie, completely ignoring Linda Hamilton and Sigourney Weaver as the real trailblazers.
So if you didn’t watch the Oscars last night, don’t worry, the only thing you missed was yet another evening of one‑sided politics and Hollywood elites congratulating themselves while scolding and lecturing the rest of us from their insulated bubble, our yearly reminder that Hollywood is NOT connected to the world the rest of us live in.
