Nice one, Bob... but does it really matters what the Oscar people think?
No, not really when you come to think of it!
Would it change your appreciation of your favorite movie if it won an Oscar?
Don't think so!
The Oscar celebration has a whole is shallow.
The media (E.T. & People mag) will spent more covering what the stars are wearing than the actual talent that were in the movies.
The Oscars were never meant for public to understand or agree.
They were meant for ordinary people to worship.
From the stars perspective, it gives them an opportunity to dress well and look good.
An opportunity to shine and to spent time with other people of their industry.
It's a glamor thing from beginning to end. It's like a televised private party.
OK, I may sound as if I'm judging the Oscars and everything, but I don't.
It is was it is and wanting to change it is like asking for something that doesn't exist.
Ish, that doesn't make much sense... overall, you are asking for the Oscars to not be the Oscars... doesn't make more sense to me.
But anyway, they have the right to do what they do and I don't need their industry to recognize my favorite movies as masterpieces.
Plus there are other interesting patterns that are Oscar bait...
- Mentally challenged characters (Forrest Gump, the Awakening, I Am Sam).
- Gorgeous women looking ugly for a role (Monster's ball, Requiem for a Dream, Monster).
But it doesn't matter. There are patterns everywhere anyway.
There are patterns in you and me and everybody as well and that doesn't make us bad or stupid.
At worse, it makes us predictable.
Bob... why do you care so much?
