I haven't followed the awards. I don't have a TV set, I never go to the movies, I am so out of touch I don't even know the name of most of the new Hollywood icons. And the old icons, all former alpha males with their hairplugs and gigantic white fake teeth, I am happy for them if they're still alive and kicking but, I'm sorry, they just bore me to death with all their self-indulgent aura and all.
Shiny gold disturbs me. Fanfare makes me sad. And the italians at the Oscars? Forget about them! Judging from Salvatores, Benigni and Tornatore, they usually begin to destroy themselves and to cover their own country with shame shortly after the ceremony, so I'm not even going into that.
The only thing that can surprise you when you're so out of touch with something, is to see other people interested in it. So many posts about the Oscars the day after. How anyone can be sucked up into that, you are left to wonder. But that's also so subjective. Honestly I don't really have a point "against the Oscars". I am only completely out of touch and happy with it and I wanted to say it, since today my mood is doing much better and all.

--in picture: shiny gold, ugh.
