Why on earth would anybody want to watch a bunch of Hollywood luvvies at their annual self gratifying, back patting ceremony.
If the recipients of these awards were chosen by the viewing public then it might be worth something.

Well said that man! It's just a back slapping excercise. As for the ceremony itself, what a complete waste of time.

Am very glad that Bareback Mounting didn't get best picture, Crash is far more derserving. Phillip Seymour Hoffman getting best actor was also a massive thumbs up.

One last comment about the gay flick, and those harping on it being the best picture, don't forget it's from the director who gave us "Hulk", says it all I think!

Thumbs down

It's no wonder the general public is turning off from the Oscars. Those people have lost their grip on reality, but they still think they are so important. Makes me sick.

You mean The Dukes of Hazzard didn't win best pic, no waay!?

Why does every movie that gets nominated for best pic have to be moralising in some way- Crash (racial) or Brokeback (Gay). What happened to movies being entertainment?!?!

Agree, the Oscars is outdated and somewhat derisory.

Was just musing on the category of Best Actress, and which one out of Heath or Jake would have got the award!

I've been looking at the forums on IMDB and there's people harping on about the Academy being homophobic, and that gays are going to protest. *sigh* nothing like perpetuating a stereotype is there. Let's all protest about our gay flick not winning, which means everyone hates gays.

You are quite right Yve, 57K for a goodie bag is disgraceful. The whole thing is just an image promotion and I could not be bothered to watch it either.
