I gave up on the Oscars a few years ago, when there was some award for music or something, the Saving Private Ryan one came up, and had a guy tap-dancing.

I didn't even know it was on until the next day when Moore was all over the news blabbing his brand of ass-porridge... no great loss.

Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."
In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!
If all you want to do is have some harmless, mindless fun, go H3RE INST3ADZ0RZ!!
Grrr! Fight my Brute, you pansy!

In all seriousness, I woudn't have even known the Oscars were on if I didn't see the various threads posted on this and other boards.Coyote wrote:I didn't even know it was on until the next day when Moore was all over the news blabbing his brand of ass-porridge... no great loss.
On a related note, I just came across a cool acronym for Oscars on another board. Obnoxious and Silly Celebrities Acting Ridiculously Stupid

I didn't realize they were on until about 9 and someone mentioned it.
I haven't given a shit about the Oscars since Titanic swept through it all those years ago (it even beat Men In Black for best visual effects. HUH?). It's all really just nothing, barring the occasional funny host. I'll read the winners the day later, though, because if something I like got an award, that means more prestige (which means more work) for the people that made it.

Jon Stewart on The Daily Show had a great little bit on Michael Moore's speech. It went something like this ...
"Yay! Michael Moore won! Good for you for being vocally active! We applaud you for being vocally active and saying what you want! Good for you!"
[Cut to clip of Michael Moore's speech and subsequent booing]
"Woah! Wait! Why are you getting all vocally active on us?! What is this?!"

Didn't even know it had been on until after the fact.
I find it very amusing that Moore accepted an award from an organization that caters to and is supported by the very media that he claimed in "Bowling for Columbine" is sowing fear into the public, and that he did not take the opportunity to lambast the media, instead attacking a man who will only be in office for 1.5, 4.5 more years tops.
Gee, maybe that same fear is why a lot of Americans are content to sit quietly at home and let Bush have his war? Maybe without that we'd be more opposed to war and he wouldn't have had to attack Bush?
Moore has shown himself, in my opinion, as a prime hypocrite.
