Personally, I think the Oscars tend to over-hype big studio blockbuster films, and A-list celebrities who really don't need the hype. I long for the day where the Academy starts to seriously consider more independent films and lesser-known actors for the big awards. Same with the Grammys. I can't take any of it seriously.
