Cynical bastard, aren't you?

I would hate to get excited by the prospect of watching some highly ecgotistical ,highly overpaid, person , black or white getting an award for doing their fuking job .

I guess over 34 million people would disagree with you then Ozcol.

"Nielsen also reported that the Oscars’ time zone-adjusted ratings show that the broadcast averaged 34.3 million total viewers last night."

I agree, soccer is a fucking idiotic game and boring as snot but at least the Oscar winners can usually string a coherent-ish sentence together.

Compared to the golden booted retards playing soccer and the morons that watch it Sally Field's acceptance speech is the Gettysburg address!

People used to have a big party and get a gold watch for services rendered. Why shouldn't people have a party and get a gold statue?

^ Mate I spent 20 odd years driving Busses and Trucks, never bent one, broke one or missed a deadline, didn't get a gold watch ( not that I begrudge those that did ) a gold statue or millions of dollars . Why kow tow to these pricks who pretend to someone else .

Now he finds himself reflexively attacking Chris Rock even though Rock is only repeating Conservative policy: "an equal opportunity"

You really do think in another dimension Slack. I will say that you are entertaining. You should be an actor.

Slakula would not be able to remember his lines tough

I do not agree with Cujo very often but apart from the 34+ million that do not have a life , WHO CARES>

Each to their own. But do people really watch this shit and get excited about it!

So....? That means they must be very interesting?

If you're trying to take the argument out of the realm of subjective opinion you are not doing a very good job.

At the end of the day we are left with your original sentiment 'who cares?'.

Watching a guy showering on film?

Sounds more like one of your guilty flirtations with gay porn. Was there also someone inexplicably delivering him pizza in his bathroom?

Ant if you know the name of the movie just tell me , instead of pissing about with clues and spoilers.

Thanks
