I have commented on "awards" shows for actors in the past. In summary, curmudgeons - to a man - have no use for them and we are joined in this by most intelligent people.
As proof, there was apparently yet another awards show over the weekend that - astonishingly - resulted in awards being given out. As scintillating as that alone is as entertainment value, the promoters (and of course advertisers) have found that what goes on outside the ceremonies is way more popular than the actual awards.
This does not surprise. Beyond the top 8 awards, no one - but no one - outside the participants in this pageant care who wins what.
And so it goes. The actors preen, their egos are stroked, grocery store checkout lane rags get some juicy cover pictures, and life goes on. Acting awards. Quelle dommage, n'est pas?
Hey Hey! Who's sounding like Mom now? All that french stuff. ;-)
