OSCARS SCHMOSCARS!

Someone asked me if I wanted to host an Oscar party this year. I started off by saying that I hadn't seen many of the nominated flix so I wasn't sure that I was qualified to discuss them or the stars. But then I realized that I simply hate the Oscars. I don't need an award to help me decide which films I like. Nowadays, news programs regularly show the week's box office takes. I don't recall this happening when I was growing up. In what way is that news or appropriate unless it's Entertainment Tonight or some such fluff? But viewers must like the statistics cuz now every channel now includes them. Are people really so ignorant that they pick their movies by what is #1 at the box office or what wins an Oscar? Host Chris Rock made some interesting points in an EW interview, like calling the notion for giving awards to art "idiotic." I agree. He called the film SIDEWAYS a "vision" but called another film a "consensus", where 30 people agree on a concept based upon marketing research on what the most folks find appealing. And Tina Brown, who I don't hate like so many seem to, mentioned an interesting new book about Hollywood which claims that moguls are no longer interested in making good films since they've found other ways to make their $ like product placement and merchandising.

I admit that there are some cute gowns on display, but I actually think the Oscars lost their glamour when they stopped having them at night. Celebs in the daylight with sunglasses and evening gowns does not make a very glamorous entrance, dahlink!
