The New York Times is reporting that Hollywood Catches Case of Oscar Blahs...
This shouldn't be surprising given the fact that practically every other weekend there is another awards show where these Hollywood bimbos are slapping each other on the back, telling them what a wonderful job they have done and what a wonderful person they are and what a great dress they are wearing...
....BORING!
Now there is even a name for this malaise: Award fatigue (have you noticed how people have to name everything?...it's weird...)
...but they are starting to get the point..."How often can you see the same person win the same award and not be fatigued by it?"
The Times also observed: It hasn't helped that viewership for the Golden Globes plunged by nearly 40 percent this year, and that the Grammys, just two weeks ago, suffered poor ratings, too. What if Hollywood holds an awards show and America doesn't show up?
Well, now, *THAT* could be a problem...
...they ARE trying to 'sex up' the show by inviting Chris Rock to host it...but that has presented its own set of problems...
...but, you know, perhaps the real issue is this - People just don't really CARE who is going to be onstage right now...we are dealing with our own set of problems - and I tell ya, I don't need to listen to some self-absorbed, insecure, hormone-injected, implanted, face-lifted, botox-infused, ACTOR!
I don't...
If I need to escape reality for a couple of hours, I'll go to the movies...or rent the DVD...but I don't need to subject myself to the phony hype anymore...because at the end of the day, whoever wins any of the self-awarded trophies won't have a scintilla of influence of what happens in the world that I live in...
...and I doubt it will affect yours either...
