The Oscars Are This Sunday?!?
I didn’t even think the nominees were announced yet! You can pretty much guess the depths of my apathy. I used to care about the Grammys because I was (and still am) very much into music, and I liked to see the live performances and root for my favorite artists to win awards. But nowadays my favorite artists are either retired, dead, or marginalized. I don’t even recognize who today’s artists are anymore. The “music” is just plain agonizing to listen to, and most of today’s “artists” are more known for their behavior than for their music anyhow.
The Oscars, on the other hand, I never cared about. Ever. Don’t get me wrong. I went to movies, but very few that would get nominated for any Academy Awards. Let’s see. In 2007, I went to see: Rocky Balboa, Transformers, Eyes of a Stranger (sucked except for the ending), Live Free or Die Hard, Eastern Promises (sucked sucked sucked). That’s about it I think. See a pattern here?
I could care less about Hollywood or any of the movie stars. Most have become arrogant, obnoxious snobs. These people dress up, memorize lines and spit them back out for a living. Most of their “talent” is wrapped up in their looks. What worse is that they have (and share) their opinions on U.S. policy. Please George, Julia et al. Keep your politics to yourself. You risk alienating your fans, and you’re morons besides. Now dance, monkey.
