I got out of the Navy in January 1973. That year I'm pretty sure I watched the Oscars. I'm pretty sure they bored the bejeebers out of me. I guaran - darn - tee you I haven't watched them since then. I'd love to boycott, but it would not be much of a statement.
I don't think that many men enjoy them. My husband falls asleep during anything even remotely resembling an awards show. I usually like to watch them but won't with the junk they have this year, overlooking the ones that actually were good...Walk The Line, Pride and Prejudice, Cinderella Man, North Country and a few others.
