As predicted here, the movie Oppenheimer is sweeping the film awards and will win the Best Picture Oscar as well.
The motion picture industry is collapsing, and this movie represents a quality throwback production that has earned more than a billion dollars at the worldwide box office. So, there's no way Oppenheimer doesn't prevail.
At the Screen Actors Guild Awards over the weekend, the brilliant Robert Downey, Jr. won best supporting actor for his role in Oppenheimer and then did something shocking: he thanked Mel Gibson for helping during Downey's hard times.
In 2006, Gibson was inebriated and made some anti-Semitic comments. Hollywood canceled him almost immediately.
So, Downey showed compassion and courage by acknowledging that Gibson employed him while he was being shunned for substance abuse.
Of course, Downey's statement drew fire from the despicable internet guttersnipes.
Remember, the film industry is run by very few people who demand total political conformity. The industry is a brutal place if you don't toe the line.
Robert Downey, Jr showed true character in doing what he did. His legacy should reflect that.
See you this evening for the No Spin News.
