Absurd. Mass shootings weren’t even a thing until the ‘80s, and they didn’t become a “thing” in schools until the ‘90s.
That a “gun culture” and “gun lobby” suddenly became a thing in the 1990s is ridiculous.
Yeah, it’s time to put to bed this narrative about modernizing the Oscars. Keep the initiative that brings more diversity to the voting block but go back to the traditional elements that kept a bit of the prestige over the years. Sure, the show could be boring, but that’s what kept this show from suffering the same fate as the Golden Globes and the Emmy’s.
