AAA (Academy Awards Addict)

The Academy Awards are tonight?!? I thought they were tomorrow. This screws up my entire plan for tonight, but I have to watch them. It's like an edict, I have to answer the calls of Hollywood and send out prayers that everybody who should get an award gets one and everybody else be smashed into the dust with their puniness. (Am I maybe too passionate about this?)

Details as conditions warrant.

Opie? What the hell does Opie need a fricken Oscar for? As Lauren Scott put it to her French class: "What did I do for Spring Break? I stayed up until 11:45 last night to learn that A Beautiful Mind won the Oscar."

Well, Fellowship did get 1/3 of the awards it should've got. (And I don't mind that it didn't get Costumes or best song, so I feel cheated on the minority side, but still...) Like I said though, I mind about Supporting Actor. Bitter doesn't begin to describe it. Peeved isn't quite right. Angry isn't the correct expression. I am... here we go... a mixture of piquancy and truculence.

I would watch Iris, to see what Jim Broadbent did that was so much more impressive than Sir Ian. But you will not see me watching Beautiful Mind because, frankly folks (and I've learnt this from valuable trusted sources), Opie's movie is just a rip-off of Proof with the good bits taken out. And Proof already won a Tony, thank you very much.

I prefer the Tonys, really. The actors know how to behave and dress themselves. (Ohhh, did I say that aloud? Did I knock Hollywood as shallow? Yes. But that's also the reason that everybody loves it...)
