Oscar Recap: 42 Share, and I still don’t care
I saw a link on Drudge this morning that talked about the Academy Awards’ 42 share (media speak for “a shload“) in the ratings for last night’s broadcast. Does this mean that I’m the only person on earth who really does not give a shit? Is it possible that no one else sees this for what it is: a giant marketing campaign?
Is it really a coincidence that the awards show coincides with the slowest months of the year for the box office? I seriously doubt it. If you ask me, the idea of these guys patting each other on the back for a job well done is a giant steamy load - and one of the better acting jobs you’ll see! Face it: these actors all know what a payday it is for them to be nominated, much less win an Oscar. Yet, their faux-emotion lined speaches would lead you to believe that they’re honestly touched by the recognition…
Flavor Flav was right: Don’t believe the hype
