I used to love to watch the Oscars. I loved the grandeur of it all. You would see legendary movie stars dressed to the nines, people that you didn't see that often. This was before the current era of pregame and postgame specials where they spend hours talking about the dresses, the jewelry, etc. It is all too much.
Now it's a bunch of self-important celebrities being treated like royalty by the adoring public, and it's a bit sickening watching the hero worship. But, I still watch it none-the-less. Unfortunately, it has become harder and harder to watch because is has regularly become the pulpit of the left leaning Hollywood elite. One could only watch a tape of last year's gushing over the Reverand Al Gore of the Global Warming Religion to see how far it has gone left. I was waiting for someone to wash and kiss his feet. I would have stayed and watched the tribute, but a took a well-timed bathroom break.
The Oscars have become a "bash Bush" affair for the past 7 years. It's is a totally cringe-worthy affair that I always seem to suffer through and am usually told "I told you so" by my husband the next day as I wonder why in the world I stayed up so late. I'm sure that Sunday will be another horrible experience. But, I can't save myself from myself. It is an addiction.
I've lived through Whoopi Goldberg and her snide remarks. I managed to watch that sloth Michael Moore make his false statements. I also managed to make it through the Oscars last year as Leo DiCaprio practically made out with Al Gore. I'll make it through this year's show too. I just wish that I could enjoy it like I did when I was a kid.
