It shocks me anyone is that interested in the Oscars to be honest
or am I missing something about all that is blown out of all proportion and our society?

Fair enough
but the concept of any excitement that lot of overpaid media people patting each other on the back being exciting is beyond me
Don't take me for some kind of anti-globalization socialist fuckwit; I thoroughly appreciate the medium of film and television, but simply find the Oscars a quite simply vulgar way of rewarding merit to artistic endeavor, and a very inaccurate way of acknowledging some worthy aspect of cinema in the long run
That is after all my own view; each to their own ;)

Ide agree
I don't like how actors will choose to be nominated as supporting actor or what ever, when they arn't just to increase their chances of getting a statuette.
Its a bit of fun for me anyway

Life needs occasions containing bits of fun
so enjoy matey! I shall probably glance over who broke down, thanked everyone in Finland, wore a two inch piece of velvet costing twelve thousand dollars, with little interest in the Independent the day after; if they bother to report to much of it
but live and let live

I will be honest with you,
it has never really bothered me before sire, but Mickey Rourke, and his performance in The Wrestler has been a bit special for me :)
