I'm going to get flamed for this, but it has to be said.

I don't give a shit about the Oscars.

They were put together as a union-busting scheme by the big studios, and they pick awards by throwing darts blindfolded.

I mean, "Rocky" got Best Picture? :wtf:

1. I am not going to flame you. I agree 100%.

I worked in the film industry for more than ten years, and you are right.

[trof]

2. Me either, but 'union busting'?

How's that work?

Just sign me:

3. I read it in a book years ago, can't remember the name of it.

4. Hey, "Rocky" was a damn fine movie

Better than a lot of the other slop that has one, e.g., Titanic, The English Patient...

5. Except it beat out "Network."

'Nuff said.

[femmocrat]

6. I hate all of those awards shows.

The idea of a bunch of self-involved millionaires indulgently rewarding each other is lost on me.
