Eight Simple Ways to Liven Up This Year’s Academy Awards
Now just hold your horses! Hollywood is creative? I haven’t seen an actual creative movie in many a moon! And when a creative one does come along, the big awards go instead to the self-congratulatory or preachy ones.
Here’s an alternate interpretation of Hollywood for you: They deeply resent that they actually have to depend on the public to earn their living. Unfortunatly for them , making movies is so expensive that it can only be financed by the public (at 200 million plus per picture, who else but the public could every afford it?). They are angry that we, the people, won’t pay for their pet projects.
I suggest that Hollywood should split into two entities. One makes movies that people actually want to see. The other makes self-indulgent vanity projects on patronage for the wealthy. Think of it like the Medici Family, except that instead of Michaelangelo’s sculptures, they get to watch Che and Milk in their own drawing rooms and salons.
And then they get to give each other awards. Oh, they’ll still sneer at us regular folks, but at least we don’t have to hear it.
