The Oscars

I'm officially done with The Oscars. Everyone's told me how it's all politics and meaningless, but it took this year for me to be so thoroughly disgusted. I will only watch for the funny and the pretty.

I've only ever watched for the funny and the pretty (and occasionally, the embarrassing). Didn't realize there was anything else ... ;-)

I used to do Oscar picks and make my mom and everyone do Oscar picks in separate pen colors so we would know who was who and who did the best in their guesses. I'd also root for a certain film and people.

Now, it's all so meaningless.

I'd be tempted to boycott but I do love Neil Patrick Harris so...

I stopped watching the Oscars a while ago, all because I've thought of it it as jsut a popularity contest, to me at least :/

I do enjoy seeing my Marvel people though and it's being hosted by Neil Patrick Harris so I won't boycott it this year. I was very tempted though.

I was going to say, I wonder what the Oscars would look like if the people voted, but then we already have The People's Choice Awards. Even those tend to be lame.
I always make a list of who I would pick and who I think the Academy would pick from the nominees and then see which list does better. Usually it's the Academy's list. LOL.........

Actually...

If you read the fine print at the end of the People's Choice Awards and Teen Choice Awards...probably MTV also...

The people vote for who they want BUT the PRODUCERS have final say so they find who has the most votes AND is able to show up!

So, that's why they're lame.

Which means the only true awards are the Jameson Empire Awards and they're not even televised!

Well, that's beyond lame. :o

Never heard of the Jameson Empire Awards. What do they honor?
