Another week, another bloody thespian giving us all a lecture on how to save the planet.
This time it was Oscars Actor in a Leading Role winner, Joker star Joaquin Phoenix, who was talking bullocks about how we torture cows and rape their babies. Or something like that.
His ramblings made more sense before he checked into rehab a while back. No idea why he thought lecturing us on milk being murder was a good idea when all he had to say was ‘thank you’ and sod off, but that’s luvvies for you.
They know better than us. They have a God-given right to lecture us on how we go about our business. Expert in talking someone else’s scripted words and their own manure (keeping the cow theme going here.)

Look, we get it. We know that we all need to do stuff to prevent climate meltdown but some pampered pillock implying that our annual Ryanair jaunt to Benidorm is going to melt a polar icecap by Christmas is drivel.
To be fair to Joaquin he has made a point of wearing the same Stella McCartney tuxedo for the whole awards season. Ooh, get him.
And The Joker is quite a good film with a natty little dance number. Just hope the lippy and face paint Phoenix wears in it was all environmentally friendly.
Just in case we didn’t get his point though our new patron saint of cows then posted a moody black and white photo of himself after the ceremony, sitting on a step eating a burger.

RELAX! It was a vegan one. And, gosh, how down to earth that he didn’t go to any of the posh post-Oscars parties.
Seriously, I have no beef (geddit?) against Joaquin personally. He went through a lot losing his younger brother River to a drugs overdose.
I just take exception to one of the most privileged and cosseted groups of people on earth thinking they have a right to tell everyone else what to do.
Aside from Scandinavian schoolgirls, it’s really only actors who do this isn’t it?
I mean you don’t get a scolding from the checkout staff in Tesco do you? Bus drivers don’t suddenly start preaching about the evils of your packed lunch.

The acting profession really does need to get over itself. Because if we do take any notice of their, mostly scientifically dodgy sermons we just laugh or, even worse, go the other way. Never fancied a milk shake more than when gazing at poor Joaquin’s tortured features as he pondered the fate of cute, ickle baby cows.
The real joy of this year’s backslapping vomit-fest was that Korean film Parasite (deservedly) swept the board.
The movie is a very dark and funny take on the rich, smug, moneyed classes being too up their own backsides to realise they’re hilariously and dangerously gullible. Anyone seeing any parallels here?

Obviously not asking this question of the Hollywood elite who probably think irony is something their (Korean) housekeeper does with their laundry.
You want proof? Well, check out the fragrant Oscar presenter Jane Fonda who did her bit for the Earth by boasting that she was wearing ethically harvested gold and sustainable diamonds to the ceremony.
I hope you’re all suitably humbled and impressed by her incredible sacrifice…
