Do People Really watch The Academy Awards

firstdown · 02-26-2007, 03:25 PM

Ok I'll admitt I watched a few minutes of some of the people walking down the red carpet as they entered the building but stopped as I started to BARF. Who really cares about these people? They act as if they think their gods gift to earth and look down upon the people who worship them. They must have low esteem because they have a different award show about every week so they can tell themself how great they are. And what about the poverotsee (spelling) who snoop around all the time noosing into there business like a peeping tom. I think their just as bad if not worse than them. I just don't get how people floock to see these people and they coud not give a rats ass about their fans. I know they thank their fans but what they are really saying is "thank you to all those low lifes who went to see my great movie and voted for me, and thank you for the millions of dollars I've made off you but would never have anything in common with you common folks. Buy now and get the hell out of my way". OK, thats my rant for today.

yeah...I agree, Hollywood loves to award itself

Chicks like it.

Reason number 463 why girls are dumber than boys.

Who wants to start a war? LOL!

I see 'The Departed' won best picture, funny since I just watched it for the first time yesterday. Good flick!

I mean i i guess i can see where you're coming from with that one, the similarities between the ending and the overall scheme of a cop infilitrating the a gang, but then again thats a scheme in many movies... all in all they are different movies just from the way they are told, the plot, and the devolopment of charectors.

I don't watch but I do know that a lot of people who watch it. The show itself boring but I like hearing/reading about the movies and actors that won. This way I can make an informed decision about what movies to rent (Netflix). Of course, movies that win aren't necessarily good movies.

I was disappointed with the Last King of Scotland. To be honest, I thought the doctor was the main character of the movie and not Idi Amin. Forest Whitaker did a great job but they didn't show case him enough IMO.

I'll have to checkout The Departed. Also, Babel was a good movie but it definitely was a clone of Crash.

Babel is a clone of Crash? Why isn't crash a clone of 21 grams, which came first? Or Amorres Peres which came before that? Alejandro Inarritu does that type of film making better than anyone.

Paul Haggis did not invent the epic ensemble piece. He just schmaltzed the formula up and made a bathetic little flick for morons who want to feel like they are more intelligent for asking themselves deep questions about race, when in fact they had become even dumber as a result of watching that facile movie, if that's possible.

Babel on the other hand is the real deal.

You didn't like Crash I take it.

I'm not gonna lie. A big reason I watched it last night was to see Ellen. I think she's pretty damn funny. She's got that same dry, sarcastic humor a certain "The Artist Formerly Known As" has...plus we both like women!

Glad to see The Departed win.

I thought all the movies nominated SUCKED. The Departed being the biggest of SUCK. Ole Marty boy hasn't made a good film since Goodfellas. I never watch the awards. To make art into a competition denegrates the very intent of the artists. There is a huge sucking sound emanating from the west. Its called Hollywood. I should know. I live here.
