I refuse to watch a 'ceremony' where dozens of overpaid and over-rated actors and actresses worship themselves and each other and expect the general public to do the same - which we do...

In fact, these awards shows in generally piss me off and always have

Granted, movies music and sports are an important part of our society, but in the end are non-essential services. Where's the awards show for our firefighters, or heroes who have died in combat, or our scientists who are changing the way we live as a society...

and yes, Jessica Alba is hot!

what about those overpaid athletes? making millions of dollars. they have their own awards show too.

Demiurge

I'm pretty sure he included them in his rant when he said:

I agree that it's a waste of time in the grand scheme of things. The only movie that I think was worthy of being up for best picture was Walk the Line. What do I know though, I am just part of middle America. Even though the others couldn't even beat Cheaper by the Dozen: 2 in the box office.

Strong Bad

I don't worship any of those overpaid goofballs. If someone wanted to pay me several million $$$ to get in front of the camera and act, damn right I'm taking it! Just like athletes, if I could whack 30+ homers, hit .300 and they offered to pay me $5mil a year to do so, F-ing aye right i'm doing it!

Fans that worship them and shell out gobs of $$$ are the ones keeping them in business. We're all guilty too. We buy those DVD's everytime a good one gets released. If nobody went to the theaters and nobody bought DVDs, they would be S.O.L.

I still want to knock the bottom out of Nicole Kidman and Jessica Alba cause I do worship a hot piece of arse!

Blame the idiots in America for good movies getting mediocre box office sales
Then blame the movie studios for putting out rehacked crap.
