Who’s ready for the Oscars this Sunday?!
What … nobody raised their hand? We feel ya…

Or there’s this suggestion from Dennis Miller. Hopefully he live tweets it:
Hmm…watch the Oscars this weekend or go to an Oscar Mayer plant and see how they make hot dogs? I've opted for the latter.

Heck, even Piers Morgan gets it:

Last year's Oscars became an issue-driven farce. This year's will be even worse. https://t.co/livsvweZwK— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) March 2, 2018
We assume Harvey Weinstein will be the focus of some of the joke, at the very least. Check out this statue honoring the film icon that showed up on Hollywood Boulevard this week (yes, he’s doing what you think he’s doing with his right hand):

As for the Hollywood and the #MeToo movement, professional misogynist Jimmy Kimmel will once again host the spectacle:

But celebrities won’t be wearing black on the red carpet for the Oscars. Fashion over politics, y’all:
Dozens of celebs wore black to the Golden Globes. They won't for the #Oscars. Here's why: https://t.co/vDbYWYYsen #abc15 pic.twitter.com/cdINPFJhE3
