Hollywood liberals giving themselves awards. I can never understand why Freepers watch the Oscars.

Maybe it's a girl thing.

Girls watch the Oscars for the dresses & the hairstyles............. but you already knew that.

I haven't seen the oscars since Star Wars (1977) won awards. Whenever they're on, I make it a point to take my Son somewhere to play; time better spent.

It's a little more than self-congratulation, take it from an old publicist/PR guy. It creates a headline. From the headline a legend is created through repetition and the Big Lie technique. Pretty soon the legend is 'fact,' and is even repeated by Congress-critters when they start making appropriations. The Left has used this technique as long as I've been around and it still works like a charm. Remember Alar? Yes, it was finally discredited, but it took 500 Philadelphia lawyers and a mean mule to do it. Most of these liberal lies are never even challenged.
