In what might just qualify as the most delicious irony of the year so far, the MovieGuide Awards Facebook page is being trolled by supposed far-right conservatives for being another liberal awards show.
To give a bit of background, MovieGuide is an organization that reviews Hollywood content from a conservative Christian, pro-family, pro-American, pro-Capitalist point of view. Every year for the past 25 years, they’ve hosted an awards show that gave out prizes to films like God’s Not Dead, War Room, Duck Dynasty, and The Passion of the Christ.
I mean, these guys are basically the Fox News of awards shows, and now they are being hammered by people making the following comments:
I’m not exactly sure what’s going on here, but someone at Far Right HQ apparently didn’t get the memo, and now we’ve got a bad case of internet friendly fire. And considering how many of these comments are being made by people with few or no friends, it might just be some of that famous Russian trolling we’ve been hearing about.
Ah, don’t you just love 2018?
I just learned about this awards show a couple of days ago. They don’t seem at all liberal, but judging by the fact that they nominated several popular films for awards this year (as opposed to a bunch of “Christian films”), I could see them as being slightly more inclusive than, say, the Dove Awards.
