Why are we awarding these people?
April baby..
Thanks for you input although I still feel the need to stand by my conviction here. I understand the real need to support the arts--I went to art school and have an art bachground so I will immediately agree with you on that level. But, in all mediums of art, Hollywood seems to get all the kudos and there really have been more awards shows created by executive producers over the past 10 years. I say "enough"!! I just don't think that we need an actor's credentials rubbed into our faces via television. I'd like to see more woman (and men) painters, sculptors, illustrators, filmmakers and all other medums of art get some limlight for once. Now THOSE are the kind of people we should applaud--they add beauty to this world.

Sloane, I think you got them all. I guess they make all of those movie awards shows to make the losers at the Oscars feel better. lol
Im not a great artist but a decent artist. I majored in Graphic Design for a year in college and I am glad that I got out of it because it was a lot tougher than I thought. I probably should have gone into Fine Arts, that would have suited me better.

This is my take on awards nights:
SAG awards: 'My plastic surgery has SAGGED' Awards.
Independent Spirit awards: Sponsored by the local liquer comnpany.
Blockbuster Movie awards: 'Actors not in our movies need not apply' Awards.
MTV awards: "Mumma, They're Vile" Awards.
The People's Choice awards: 'Choice cut of meat Awards', cos at the end of the day, we are nothing but a piece of meat.
Golden Globes: 'I've got to get my award before i reach my Golden years', Awards, because at the end of the day, once im out of my thirties, im not longer viable.
Caan Festival: About the only credible award ceremony in the world.
The BAFTA awards: The 'Be A Fat Tart Always' Awards (i don't know where i got that from, it just sounded good).
The Gotham awards (in NYC): 'We couldn't think of anything else to call them Awards', so we thought we'd cash in on Batman.
The Grammy's: Rhymes with "Granny's" doesn't it?
Sundance: Our attempts to bring the awards back to nature and give them a hippy feel.
I know, it's not like they CARE about the rest of the world. It's just a mutual masturbation committee. I'd rather my humble life anyday.

The English and the americans have always permitted a group of people to get away with rude behavior. Our Royals and our people in Government. Your movie stars and your people in government. It seems we put these people in power and the very first thing they do is give us reason to miss trust them. We make monsters.
Well..as stated in the news as of late, I'm very glad to hear that the pre-oscar show and papparazzi has been cancelled in regard to the onset of the war in Irag. As mentioned by Producer Gil Cates, it would be "done in poor taste" if the pre show were to go on and I couldn't agree any more. Way to go Gil! Right now, what's important is this country's freedom and saftey, not who's wearing what gown and all that hoopla crap.
I agree. I will miss however the gowns that are almost worn.Lets just hope no speaches about the war from either side. But why am I even talking about this I never watch it anyway.
YOU'RE FUNNY JAMES
Well I'm glad the damn academy awards are over with now..Of course egotists like Michael Moore just had to "mouth off" about Bush and the war when they were all told to keep a tight lip. It's about the awards--not the war. Moore's a great filmmmaker but he's just an example of the inflated audacity that these Hollywood types are. I didn't vote for Bush but don't bash him on a widely televised show is all I have to say. Poor taste.
Poor taste no taste. When you look at what has happened in Iraq how can you not want to help these people. the man is another hitler.
Exactly James, perfectly said. They don't call him the butcher of baghdad for nothing...

You are oh-so-elegant and tasteful to the point of incurring nausea from loved ones. You are also bipolar as hell and can't make a decision on your own. You usually consult your therapist or TV Guide.

To my fellow librans, the books quite often say we're lazy. Do you find yourselves to be innately lazy? Eg. Mentally, emotionally or physically? I find i am lazy at times. Sometimes it's mentally and other times it's emotionally. For example, if i
