The Oscars loosing it's zing?

I plan to watch at least some of it. I am going to have my very own Oscar party. I have just returned from my supermarket with wonderful foods. Of course, I do live right next door to my organic supermarket. I work evenings and weekends. When I do not have to work, I watch programs like The Oscars and Grammys. Was it a bad years for movies? I can not recall. I think that there have been many good movies but I have not seen most because I never go to the movie theaters. I have digital cable with HBO and I am comfortable waiting to see a movie two or three years after it comes out. Eventually most of the movies nominated will show on HBO. And guess what. When they do, they will only get two or three stars in the ratings. It does seem that they just do not make the great movies of years ago.

I print out the list of nominees and I mark down the winners.It is always a great night. There is Always one person or two I root for. This year I Knew , knew Chris and Octavia were going to win! So Even with Billy, Who I do prefer over Eddie, it was a good show.The Oscars isn't for everyone.

I used to watch it growing up because I thought it was so glamorous. I was around sixteen when it started to lose its sheen in my eyes. I started to realize how cold and shallow so many celebs are and I began to see the Oscars as a way for them to preen. Plus, so many good movies are ignored in favor of movies who make a "social statement" or are considered artsy. Although I haven't watched them in years, I actually plan on watching them tonight. I'm not sure why. I am kind of bored, but there are actually a couple of nominees I'd actually like to see win. Like Melissa McCarthy or Octavia Spencer. They are in the same category and are the frontrunners for their category. I'd like it if either one wins. And I really want George Clooney to lose. lol

I am not a fan of any Award shows, but I like to watch when I have the time and when I find it interesting enough. I do hope I can find time to watch and find it interesting enough for me.

I haven't decided yet whether to watch; the problem is everything else is reruns. 2011 was a bad year for movies even considering the recession which supposedly was better and traditionally during bad times movies do better. I think it was a bad year at the box office mostly because there just weren't many good movies. This means all the hoopla about the Oscars is over mostly poor movies. I know I will miss at least the start because I will be watching a rerun of The Big Bang Theory during the first 30 minutes.

I am watching it live right now. I just like watching some of those great actor/actress winning and ofcourse, their red carpet hot looks.

I think they are. I dont like celebrities these days. THeya re all so phoney and selfish and arrogant and the list goes on. But I think the whole thing is loosing what it is supposed to be all about..starting with the wardrobes. I mean, come on...those women can't think they look really great in most of those hideious ugly gowns they wear! I watched this sunday only since my daughter was here and she wanted to see it, and I think Sandra Bullock was the only one that look beautiful. THe others had such ugly dresses and hair styles...I went and did something else..it was just stupid. Plus...they dont' show what the people do...I watched the pre-part of it, and not the awards...and the only thing I have heard about the awards is that Christopher Plummer finally won one and then Angelina Jolie's leg issue. Wasn't that the most dispicable thing ever!!!! Maybe at least put on some nylons to have a nicely colored and shaped leg, but with bare leg sticking out like that...I don't know what they hoopla was..it was ugly and just made her look sluttie..and that is all I have heard about the entire awards ceremony. So, yeah, I think the show is loosing it's zing.
