The Oscars

I am watching the Academy Awards - something I used to be really in to. This year, not so much.

This is the first time I ever remember not trying to predict the winners. Just (almost) couldn't care any less. For the second year in a row, I didn't throw an Oscar party - used to be one of my favorite things.

Is it the sorry state of Hollywood - just a bunch of whiny self-indulgent egos? Is it the sorry state of the movies they've been putting out? The movies I most enjoyed in 2005 were unlikely to get even a mention at the Oscars - Wedding Crashers, 40 Year Old Virgin... hmmm, having trouble coming up with movies I enjoyed last year.

I was right about King Kong, it swept the visual & sound awards.

Underwhelmed by the show, by the winners, by the hosting, by the performances.....

I used to love that stuff

I did go ahead and pop open a bottle of champagne sparkling wine.
