The Oscar goes to ……
Did you watch the Oscar’s last night?
I didn’t.
I haven’t watched the Oscar’s in over ten years. Why? Because just like Barbara Walters, who after 29 years of doing Oscar night specials on ABC, said that she is giving up her specials. She said that there are very few stars now and the public is not in awe of them any more. What are showing in movies are animated features like “Avatar” and independent films. There are no more stars to inspire or awe us and basically they have nothing to say.
I couldn’t agree more with Barbara Walters. Just like her, I don’t care anymore. Hollywood is not what it used to be twenty years ago. Films have not inspired me nor have the actors. They all have their own agenda and have no mystique. Plus the Oscar show is slow, not very funny and seems more of a popularity contest than a real review of the best picture or actor/actress.
Sure, I like Sandra Bullock as an actress and Jeff Bridges has earned his dues to win an Oscar. But will their winning solve our economic problems in the country? What baffles me is that with about 10% or more of unemployment, people still have the money ($10-$20 worth) to spend on movie going. I may be cheap but I don’t want to spend that kind of money to help the rich, whacked out Hollywood types. Finally, many of these movies have an agenda that may be hurting the moral and ethical ideas of most of the American public.
That’s my two cents and I’m sticking to it!
Until later,
Linda
