Default Blog Entry About the Oscars




So, seeing as how I often comment on the entertainment industry and would like to one day do that professionally, I figured I ought to blog about the upcoming 7,723rd Academy Awards.
I've done something like that before. The caveat, here, is that I don't really care about the Oscars. I've tried to get enthusiastic about it, but I mean, Ben Affleck has an Oscar.

And also, I have a short attention span. (As does the ceremony's orchestra, which starts playing music five seconds into every award-winner's speech.)

Anyways, here are my opinions on this year's nominees.

I don't know and won't pretend to know who will win.

I haven't even seen a good chunk of the films nominated. Scorsese could maybe get lucky this year just because the Academy feels guilty for dissing him last year. That tends to happen.

I'm shocked that Alfonso Cuaron didn't get a nod for directing Children of Men.

But yeah, that's all I got.

Seriously, unless there's some kind of financial incentive, I'm not going to play the guessing game. Fuck, I may not even watch the Oscars this year!

I will make a few bold predictions though. Somebody will make fun of George Bush. An actress will wear a revealing dress. Any takers? And I have no idea why this text is so small. Fucking blogger.

I thought it was a good show this year. Ellen was funny, though she stayed off-camera most of the time. The shadow dancer people were freakin' awesome. And I loved the Al Gore orchestra joke.
