Why are we even concerned with the "Academy"?To spend this much energy and hot air (in case of our favorite Dutch Boy AuPh... ne truly needs 10,000 fingers) on something that has written a book on dresses and cosmetic surgery and not much more? Unless you consider the American Beauty something worthy your attention.
Most people agree it is all about business... swell... then why bother if your interest is good films?
Just look at AuPh's list. How many on it would you place on your 100 best? 5? 3? I mean - Erin Brockovich? Cut us a major break.
Why then pay attention to the Oscars? Let those to whom it means something (future earning) worry about it. Me? I stopped watching it long ago, it simply doesn't exist for me.
The world has so much more to offer than the biggest tinsel celebration.
If your interest is good films - then start paying attention to things like Cannes, and other international festivals, that still retain some of the movies focus.
If your interest is gross earnings and investment - then by all means, watch Oscars and pay attention to their winners.
I dunno... I mean it has been so completely irrelevant to my life. Like another gala somewhere in Manhattan.
