The Academy Awards will be telecast this coming Sunday night, and Carol Roth spotted something that is making everybody roll their eyes:
"The Academy is not asking Oscar attendees to wear face masks while cameras are rolling during the live ceremony…However, when guests are not on camera, they are being asked to wear masks. For example, masks should be put on during commercial breaks."

According to Variety, the in-person audience will be 170 people who will be going from mask to no mask depending on whether the camera is on them at any given moment. Because SCIENCE, or something.
Obviously the Academy is concerned that the right of the people to see unobstructed beautiful celebrity faces is not infringed. https://t.co/p5Uc8hnwlw

Heaven forbid the Hollywood elite get deprived of face time on national television!

That’s idiotic. Either do it or dont.

A more absurd guideline on wearing masks you will never see. https://t.co/TpIEahM3MR

Camera on? Masks don’t matter.
“I’m vaxxed.” “Put on yer face diaper, dissident”
Ah, this gathering is a protest? All good. Just remember to keep your BBQ within limits.Science is awesome.

Someone (I forget who) made the comment about restaurants, that having people masked upon entry & then unmasked a few feet away during their meal, is like having a peeing section in a swimming pool.

COVID only floats around during commercial breaks. It obeys curfews. It also doesn’t follow you into restaurants with those “masks must be worn to enter” signs.

It’s either safe to not wear masks or it’s not. This is absolutely ridiculous. Do these people not hear themselves? https://t.co/tm5Nnlnx0r

If they do hear themselves, they don’t seem to care how ridiculous they sound.
