Borges said: “Youre the one shilling for them here”
The thread and article is a critique of Hollywood. No shilling whatsoever. As a matter of fact, some of my criticisms were:
“Cory starred in several films. If the Oscars are about movies, why did Al Gore win an award?”
“I see a double standard.”
“... and yet I still question the sincerity. Dennis Farina was worthy of recognition. No Jean Stapleton?”
“As I stated previously, Hollywood is all about double standards.”
“The Oscars are a joke. Its Hollywoods big Selfie.”
As you can see, Borges, these are just some examples refuting your “shilling” accusation.
You also stated: “If you dont think many academy members dont take the oscars seriously youre fooling yourself.”
That’s ironic and interesting given the fact that you said this:
“A lot of people in the Arts community dont care about these sort of awards and dont take the voting seriously. Its been that way from the start.”
Borges, you continually contradict yourself. You’ll say that “...people in the Arts community don’t care about these sorts of awards and don’t take voting seriously.”
In the VERY NEXT breath you said,
“If you dont think many academy members dont take the oscars seriously youre fooling yourself.”
Who’s being childish?
What trivial nitpicking. I don’t even know what point you’re trying to make. I think it was the fact that Corey whathisname was left out out of the Memoriam segment despite the fact that seven years ago a documentary with Al Gore won an Oscar? LOL In any case have a pleasant day.
