It starts
with the parade of beautiful female movie stars entering on the red carpet.
Most of them have spent approximately $100,000.00 on gowns, hair styles, cosmetic
surgery (boobs, butts, tummies, noses, and lips). They are not real but look
really sexy! The reporters always ask, “Who are you wearing?” The beautiful
people answer with a fake smile and a condescending description of their famous
designer. George C. Scott called this part of the show a ‘meat parade’. He did
not show up for his best actor award because he thought the whole thing was
bull shit. I agree with him.
The
Hollywood awards shows are ridiculous, stupid, pointless and just plain wrong.
The movie fans are not the judges. It is a select group of writers, actors,
directors, producers, and executives doing an exercise in self-congratulation.
Just because a film or actor has millions of fans across the country doesn’t
mean it will equate to a win on Oscar night. That is too darn bad. Shouldn’t
the people who go to movies be the judges? I think so. The less than
entertaining ceremony, boring speeches, and over indulgent self praise is downright
sickening! I say let the fans do the voting and limit the ceremony to one hour
instead of 3 boring hours. JMO.
Since the Tsar watches neither the ceremonies nor the movies, he must accept your word for their boring nature. Otherwise, you are spot on in your characterization of the narcissism that leads to such inane and thoroughly subjective goings on. The Tsar long ago learned that if a movie won an Oscar, then the Tsar should avoid the movie as being over-indulgent and fatuous.
ReplyDeleteAs for TV series, the repetitiveness and extreme predictability of the so-called dramas, and sophomoric and moronic attempts at humor in the so-called comedy shows, long ago caused the Tsar to keep his TV off except when the Red Wings or Tigers are playing.
