To prevent false information.

Ervin Guinn

False statements and lies should not be presented as facts from either side of the political spectrum. If it takes government intervention to stop this misinformation, then that's the way it should be.

Can not allow our freedom of speech to be tampered with at all !!!!! All they are doing is damage control protecting themselves

Nothing people are talking about is the government's business. They need to sit and shut up. Maybe they could try listening instead.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson comments that First Amendment “hamstrings" government. What a terrible thing for a Justice to say. She would happily remove our First Amendment of the Bill of Rights.

Vernon Taylor

And we all know why she's there.

I enjoy watching the glitz, glamour, and appreciation for artists and actors' great work.

I enjoy watching celebrities and award shows!

Patricia Quiroz-Alfaro

I vote for my favorite actors and awards also give me an idea of what I want to watch. Other than that winners don't matter to me.

Jeanette Johnson

Haven't watched any of them in decades. Who wants to see some very rich celebrities pat each other on the back and tell us all their political views?

Cause there all WOKE!!

Award shows are nothing more than self promotion of themselves. And act like self advertising. Like advertising, the less advertising the less popularity.

Garrett

The award shows once mattered. Since they have become so much more than a few once or twice a year but rather at least a 100, all with varying degrees of actual criteria beyond marketing campaigns and now the over-compensating “inclusive,” nature of certain categories going out of their way
