The Oscars


I lost interest in the Oscars years ago. I blame Rain Man and the Titanic, and to some extent, Meryl Streep.
Generally speaking, the Oscars are uninteresting to me, but I do appreciate the tradition of the event. I like the glitz and the glamour of it. Who can complain about a woman in a dress? But people do, and to some degree the dresses have become more important than the movies.
            I’ve never cared for the politics of Hollywood. I feel sorry for actors having to wade through the barn full of horse crap just to find a job. It doesn’t seem fair at all. I don’t like that Hollywood is too cheap to pay taxes here in Los Angeles, and too cheap to pay their interns the minimum wage. That says something to me. It says cheap. If you’re not poor, please don’t be cheap. I'm cheap, but for poetic reasons.
