80th Academy Awards tonight

While it may do a lot for Hollywood investor relations, tonight’s 80th annual Academy Awards are nothing I care about all the much, other than the pending broadcast of the ceremony helped bring the writer’s strike to an end at last.

To be honest, there’s simply no actor, actress or movie nominated this year that I feel very strongly about, and given the recent trend toward blatently politicizing the Oscars anyway, I have plenty of more-pleasant ways to spend my evening. For exmaple, taking my wife out to a movie, if she’s up for it; or writing my blogs, or doing some Torah study, or flipping in a movie to watch.

No matter what I do, it’s certain to be a better use of my time than watching a bunch of HollywoodIdiots pat themselves on the back for being good at their craft. Never mind that fewer and fewer of these films are going over well with large audiences.
