If you are privileged enough to be invited to the Oscar's you are probably too privileged to properly critique it.

I didn’t want to have anything to do with that world and that culture. I don’t want to be part of any room full of adults hemming and hawing over plastic trophies.

then don’t go? lmao

It's a contractual obligation most of the time.

Is it? I’ve seen winners in the past miss it. Or cases like Woody Allen who never attends.

Like that same year as Sufjan, Jonny Greenwood was nominated and PTA managed to convince Jonny into attending cause he didn’t want to lol.

for songs, someone else can perform for you. like when kristen chenoweth performed for enchanted (sorry i can't think of a more recent example, but there have been some).

[sandstorm]

ok

Better keep an eye out for Xenu, now.

[deeeeelicia]
