Well said!
The movies and recording stars used to be mysterious and "special". Now they're just a bunch of idiots mouthing off all the time. Who wants to watch them?
Gonna make sure I have to knit a sweater or tune my car on Academy Award night......hehehe...
They do not have a clue. I and thousands of others have turned off our TV's permanently except as a monitor for video games or an occasional good movie or football game. That is IT. It is never on.
Not only is it trash, but I make a conscious decision NOT to watch it anyway so as not to support Hollywierd and the big businesses who prostitute themseves as advertisers at the alter of greed.
Well, the Oscars could have nominated "The Passion of The Christ", but no....
That would have been the only thing that would have caused me tune in and ONLY if it won as it deserved.
The problem with the award shows is that they aren't heros. We have a number of insiders congratulating insiders. The heros are in Iraq, Afganistan, across our globe fighting to defend this country. Heros are those that serve honorably here at home with little glory whether they be cops, fire fighters, parents raising their children with strong values keeping the country moving with unremarkable jobs that attract little thanks.
When you toss in celebrities that disrespect the "little people", their country, their values and their chosen representatives why bother watching? The escapist glamour is lost.
We didn't have to watch. We had FReeper reports.
I would suggest a name change if they want to increase viewership. Instead of the "Grammy Awards" they change the name of the show "The Bro's and Ho's Awards".
I didn't watch but while I was changing stations, I saw some guy singing in Spanish.
It was very bizarre.
My thought at that moment was that I couldn't believe anyone in Middle America would feel comfortable watching this.
It was just too foreign and out of place.
I didn't stay tuned for any rappers. Maybe they were the highlight. I'll never know.
Amen to that, well said! Bro's and Ho's awards,,,,lmao!
ps. J.Lo sucked.
That is simply the best and most complete definition I have ever read.
Why would someone waste precious time to watch overpaid, over-hyped, over-dressed, under-dressed, cross-dressed, untalented, arrogant, coked-up Leftists parade themselves in front of the cameras and tell each other how great they are?
Yuck.
"It may be an ominous sign for the granddaddy of awards shows, the Academy Awards..."
Yes, and the movies nominated are no big shakes either. I've got no interest in it this year.
The simple fact that they've given the the impeached ex-President two Grammies for best spoken-word tellls me all I need to know about the whole stinkin' mess.
I watched a few minutes before getting nauseous and turning to the Westerns Channel for some relief.
Poor CBS. They seem to believe in the formula: "Controversy sells."
But last night, they offered none.
And thus, they lost viewers.
Looks like they themselves are at fault, but since this is CBS, which is the same company that keeps Dan Rather around, they won't blame themselves for their own failures.
Let's say what is really on viewer's minds...
