I have stated a couple times I do not think very highly of Hollywood losers - both in terms of their uselessness and generally their intolerably boorish behavior. I have posited that TV has lost viewers and won't get them all back, that movies lose viewers and won't get them all back, and now I pray THE OSCARS fall flat.
My hopes:
Panic is setting in about an actors strike that may be on the way. Few in America or the world have seen the nominated pics and performances. There's no suspense because Hollywood has long ago guessed who and what will probably win. The vast majority of the presenters aren't big names. And not only has the host done it before to really poor ratings, but Jon Stewart couldn't even find anything funny to say about it while guesting on Larry King Live. So, all in all, I think everyone should expect the Worst Oscars Ever In The History Of Hollywood.
Why? because they really think too much of themselves. For this one event, it is quite possible between the bobble heads who show up and the bubble heads who offer goodie bags, tens of millions are spent on that one event - from plastic surgery, clothing, jewels, the goodie bags. Imagine taking the $30 million all bobble heads will spend or receive on Sunday and say doing something useful for once (now, a few of them do scream a lot about Sudan, so maybe they get to keep their $10,000 goodie bag or their $5,000 plastic surgery or their $2000 suit).
Everyone knows they are hypocrits. They seem to be the only ones who don't. We keep quiet because they amuse us.
UPDATE: No one watched! Yippee. They (the entertainment industry) spent $30-50 million so they could whack each other on the back. And they dare mention poverty.
