Anybody else ignoring the Oscars?
 

I didn't even realize it was on until the radio play-by-play announcer for the Everett Silvertips made a reference to them during the second intermission. I feel they have been for sale for a lot of years, I *completely* lost interest in them after The English Patient got the Best Picture award over Fargo in '96. If they get it right once in awhile, I can only make the comparison to a stopped clock being right twice a day.

Me. I actually don't care about any of that shit.

I have a reaction post on my blog if anybody cares.

I think there was a time, probably in the '70's and earlier, that they meant something. But as I said they have been for sale for many many years now.

You and I are really on the same wavelength, Paul. That is exactly when I lost interest in them as well.

To be honest, my favorite part about the thing was watching my favorite stars talk to the media on the red carpet. Now that there's twitter and youtube, I have zero need for that. I'll see the results tomorrow. And I still won't care who won.

I like a bunch of the contenders this year though, which hasn't happened to me for a long time.

Yeah, this past year was a hell of a good year in the movie department.

I was trying to watch NBA, but someone kept making me change the channel to the Oscars.

I don't have a lot of respect for the Oscars.

I'm watching Attack on Titan for the 4th time instead

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.
