I’d like to thank the academy for
providing us with the worst Oscars in recent memory. Multiple hours of
nothingness led by John Stewart.
Its hard to believe that the writers strike was
over because this ceremony was horrible.
Maybe they went back to the ceremony they had planned without writers, or
maybe the writers are just that bad.
They ran clip after clip after clip with no real content. The presenters looked like they were on some
downer drug and everyone who won was foreign!
I need to check to see when the last time all Americans won at the
British academy awards. Not that I am
complaining, I thought that Daniel Day-Lewis was by far the best actor and I
loved seeing George “Darfur” Clooney get snubbed. It didn’t really matter because no one was
watching it anyway. According to Neilson
this was the worst ratings since 2003 which was the worst over all.
What was even worse was the red
carpet show prior to the awards themselves.
I love it when actresses who know nothing about foreign policy, war or
our country, wear little orange ribbons for the closing of Gitmo. Julie
Christie, I’m talking to you. She apparently has been there so many times and
have seen the conditions and believe we are keeping
these people imprisoned against their will. Wrong, she has never been there.
The only torture the prisoners are
really receiving is when we make them watch the movies these people are in. I’m so happy that foreigners can come to our
country, make lots of money and then tell us off. I think there was
only 1 or 2 people wearing those ribbons anyway, you can see that concept really
caught on. Retirement was the right
thing to do Julie, no need to try politics this late in your life. Dr. Zhivago is
waiting.
I find it funny that if Hollywood hates America so much, perhaps they should move to
Cuba. Since according to Michael Moore Cuba’s
health care is better than ours, and his movie ‘Sicko’
was nominated for an academy award this year, maybe all of the Hollywood left
will defect to Cuba. We can only
hope. I liked when they introduced the
troops in Iraq to present an award. Tom Hanks made no mention of them as troops
or anything, just people who haven’t been home in awhile. And there were no ‘Thank-You’s’ to the troops, nor did he say ‘we
appreciate what you are doing for us’ it was nothing, cut right to the
troops then that was it. Horrible. Notice,
however, anti-war movies such as The Valley of Elah or
Lions for Lambs were not nominated. At
least they got that right.
It doesn’t really matter, nobody
watched it, anyway. They were all
watching Zoolander on
TBS.
