Stephen King has an uneasy relationship with Hollywood.
The horror author’s works have inspired dozens of films. The quality veers from Oscar-winning fare (“Misery”) to dreck like endless “Children of the Corn” sequels. That short story spawned a franchise that refuses to die.
One clunker, “Maximum Overdrive,” is all his fault. King directed the 1986 dud.
Now, King is weighing in on this year’s Oscars race. Specifically, the author says the show shouldn’t go on. King said as much on BlueSky, the home for liberals who need a safe space from conservative points of view.
Not voting in the Oscars this year. IMHO they should cancel them. No glitz with Los Angeles on fire.
The author got plenty of pushback on the opinion. Here’s just one of many responses.
The city needs them – even if you don’t. They employ a lot of people and help to support and promote one of our biggest industries. Whining about the Oscars is doing the exact opposite of supporting our city.
So far, he’s holding firm.
I hear what you guys are saying about the Oscars, and how they’re a celebration of life, and the show must go on, blah-blah-blah, so-on-and-so-forth. It all makes a degree of sense, but to me it still feels like Nero fiddling while Rome burns. Or in this case, wearing fancy clothes while LA burns.
Agree? Disagree? Feel free to weigh in below.
