Ah Ha! I see my words have been heard!

Yes, about a year ago on this very blog, I voiced my opinion about the lameness of the Independent Spriti Awards nominees, and this year I believe they have heeded my warning! This year as I looked over the nominees, I was overcome with the fact that I haven't seen a single one of the movies on the list, and most I had not heard of. Bravo.
Now, let's just hope ol'Oscar doesn't follow their lead.
You see the Oscars needs to be reserved for big money movies, actors that look good but can't really act, and directors that have been around since before there was such a thing as film school! The Oscars is about red carpets and who could shmooze the best. (I don't know how to spell Shmooze, I admit it).
People like Angelina Jolie win Oscars - Don't get me wrong, I like Angelina Jolie, I think she is beautiful and smart, and I am glad she goes out and does stuff for poor people and countries, and I was glad Brad picked her over that irritating Jennifer Aniston (He did after all look miserable for a while there). I even try to watch Angelina Jolie movies cuz I want to like her acting, I really do, but let's face it she can't act. When I found out she'd won an oscar after watching that insidious 'Taking Lives' I was flabergasted! I am flabergasted now just thinking about it.
But I am not picking on Angelina, I like her. I am just trying to illustrate that Oscars are for gals like her and Halle Berry, guys like Richard Gere and Juaquin (you ain't your brother) Phoenix. It's for big budget action movies that have no real plot and for sappy sad sack chick flicks that make you wanna puke.
I am not saying this is bad, it's wonderful! But sometimes the Oscars seem to confuse themselves with the Golden Globes or the Independent Spirit Awards and vice versa, and we just can't let that happen.
Don't let it happen!
