With the 97th Academy Awards set for Sunday, expect the annual avalanche of anti-woke missives. This year’s batch is sure to be laced with glee in light of President Donald Trump’s decisive victory in November. Conservative commentators, many of whom made their names ridiculing woke absurdities, will do a Gene Kelly impersonation over Hollywood’s grave.

It’s an entertaining, if increasingly tedious tradition in its own right.
