Tonight is the Academy Awards and I am already tired of hearing about it. I just read on the Drudge Report that they expect tonight's show to be the longest ever. I can hardly wait. The event has become nothing more than rich out of touch elitist congratulationing themselves and sharing with us their wealth of political and social wisdom. And this doesn't even include all the pretentious talk before hand of what people are wearing to the event. Are we all really this bored with our lives that we care about this stuff?
But there are millions of suckers who actually get excited and watch this crap. Why? First they give a bulk of the awards to movies that nobody has ever heard of, let alone watched. This is usually justified by telling us how all us hicks outside of Hollywood simply don't understand good film making. But worse, the evening is usually a crashing bore as they stretch the entire evening out to pat themselves on the back about all the great things Hollywood is doing. I am sure the highlight this year will be something praising Al Gore for his work in battling global warming. Talk about hot air.
Maybe we can hope for a fisticuffs between the Obama and Clinton supporters.
