I’d like to thank the academy for providing us with the worst Oscars in recent memory. Multiple hours of nothingness led by John Stewart. Its hard to believe that the writers strike was over because this ceremony was horrible. Maybe they went back to the ceremony they had planned without writers, or maybe the writers are just that bad. They ran clip after clip after clip with no real content. The presenters looked like they were on some downer drug and everyone who won was foreign! I need to check to see when the last time all Americans won at the British academy awards. Not that I am complaining, I thought that Daniel Day-Lewis was by far the best actor and I loved seeing George “Darfur” Clooney get snubbed. It didn’t really matter because no one was watching it anyway. According to Neilson this was the worst ratings since 2003 which was the worst over all.

What was even worse was the red carpet show prior to the awards themselves. I love it when actresses who know nothing about foreign policy, war or our country, wear little orange ribbons for the closing of Gitmo. Julie Christie, I’m talking to you. She apparently has been there so many times and have seen the conditions and believe we are keeping these people imprisoned against their will. Wrong, she has never been there. The only torture the prisoners are really receiving is when we make them watch the movies these people are in. I’m so happy that foreigners can come to our country, make lots of money and then tell us off. I think there was only 1 or 2 people wearing those ribbons anyway, you can see that concept really caught on. Retirement was the right thing to do Julie, no need to try politics this late in your life. Dr. Zhivago is waiting.

I find it funny that if Hollywood hates America so much, perhaps they should move to Cuba. Since according to Michael Moore Cuba’s health care is better than ours, and his movie ‘Sicko’ was nominated for an academy award this year, maybe all of the Hollywood left will defect to Cuba. We can only hope. I liked when they introduced the troops in Iraq to present an award. Tom Hanks made no mention of them as troops or anything, just people who haven’t been home in awhile. And there were no ‘Thank-You’s’ to the troops, nor did he say ‘we appreciate what you are doing for us’ it was nothing, cut right to the troops then that was it. Horrible. Notice, however, anti-war movies such as The Valley of Elah or Lions for Lambs were not nominated. At least they got that right.

It doesn’t really matter, nobody watched it, anyway. They were all watching Zoolander on TBS.
