Why can't the Oscars just be about the best films like they are supposed to be?
Because its no longer about the Oscars and the performance. Its all now a big club of self congratulating narcissists. Its all about what they and their friends think of themselves. It more important to show you they "feel" for a cause then to actually do something. Disgusts me to no end I have bee working on a fiction book set at the Oscars. Bad guy takes all of the actors and actresses in the building hostage and forces them all to pay a ransom. Can't figure out how to end it yet because every which way I go I end up wanting the bad guy to win!!!
Bingo! Give him a cigar. My thoughts exactly. My son was watching last night and I caught the Oscar given to the costume designer for Mad Maxx. She had to get in her 2 cents worth about not polluting the atmosphere. These people are so self important that a panties designer thinks she an authority on the environment.
