Oscars Mean Hollywood Treading Lightly...

Well Hollywood hasn't quite taken my advice to shorten the Oscar ceremony by making just one movie with all their pet themes and nominate it for every damn Oscar, but they've spared us the usual assault and stuck only modestly to the script:

- Fraudulently dishonest anti-oil company movie...check.

- Homosexuality is a state of grace and you're a f**king homophobe, Pal !!...check.

They've spared us any terrorist lionization or Israel bashing, and as far as I can tell the empowering awesomeness of abortion is MIA. I'm sure there is a little religion bashing in there somewhere (I didn't see all of these movies, er, most of them actually), but nothing too aggressive. Clearly Hollywood is back on its heels given the mood of the country, and is reluctant to make the movies they really want to jam down our throats. Small mercies.
