A Modest Proposal to Revive The Oscars

Fire Bruce Vilanch?

” Thats why I don’t just choose to not watch, I actually despise the entire event.”

I’ve always had the opinion that they would not want to come to my office party so why should I go to theirs?

I'd be more impressed if you could spell the name of the car you claim to drive.

I'm not the grammar police on posters, but people who put out their writings as opinion pieces should do basic spell checking. These errors reduce your credibility.

I have one way to guarantee that next year's show would have the highest ratings in awards show history:

The host of the 2012 Oscars: Charlie Sheen!

Now just keep him alive for the next 12 months.

The top male box off stars set poor or nonexistent marriage examples. Ditto Oprah and the parade of starlets who endorse the “who needs marriage” and “who is he/she sexually involved with this week” bandwagon. Almost universally they champion “alternative” lifestyles. Hollywood skanks and skankettes provide jobs to those employed by tawdry magazines that we read at grocery store checkouts if nothing else.

There once was a host who described the Oscars as “15 minutes of entertainment packed into 3 1/2 hours”. That might be the main problem.

Why bother tuning in for the Oscars anyway? You know who's going to win the big award, whomever blew the most money on the most useless portrayal of a liberal ideology, seen by virtually no one other than the ‘Oscar’ voters who were flooded with screener copies of the movies which were then sold off to others to fuel the black market that the industry claims is killing ticket revenues..

It's ludicrous. You have people who'll blow bags of money on trivial things being given faux trophies for performances that could have been better acted by text to speech programs, gift bags for nominees from companies containing tens of thousands of dollars in presents which will be mostly sold off before the red carpet's actually rolled up, being lauded by a farm of liberals who wouldn't pay a dime to watch a movie even if their relatives were being held ransom.

But somehow, the inability to pay twenty to fifty million per mainline actor and producer is the fault of nameless pirates who are ‘gutting’ the industry.

Oscar’s? Named by Betty Davis, when the statuette had no name, to commemorate her first hubby’s body part!

Hollywood is over for all but the most ‘star struck’ among us. Their product is rarely entertaining anymore.
