I really don't have any time for awards shows. Tonight the grand-daddy of them all is on. Tonight, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences come together to honor themselves.
I'm not sure what annoys me the most.
There is always the issue of the host. Everyone wants the host to be funny and topical but not ruffle any feathers. Well if it doesn't ruffle feathers or make you think, it probably isn't funny.
Also there is the over-produced show. People want spontaneity but there is so much production in the show everyone comes off as robotic.
As well there is the fact that they are giving awards for movies. It is not a competition. These works are made to be enjoyed and to entertain they are not made to be judged. Even in the more realistic realm, movies are made to make money. Giving out awards is not in line with the goal of making the movie.
I'm not going to watch tonight. I can get the wrap-up on any radio morning show. A two minute bit will cover a five hour show.
The OSCARs are tonight, oh well.
