The self-importance of the actors is astonishing. These are people who can’t even make a thirty second speech – “OH MY GOD!…OH MY GOD!…I can’t believe it!…OH MY GOD!” Actresses are the worst. Every year they reinforce every stereotype of the ditzy bimbo actress. And they’re often so skinny they don’t look sexy at all. Jennifer Connely comes to mind. She once had curves and breasts. On Oscar night she had neither.

I think the best remark so far was the one about the films not being released until the end of the year, and even then only in limited release. I suspect that doesn’t bother most nominees as they prefer to be seen as a part of a small elite impervious to the supposedly ignorant masses.

I see the (Canadian) writer of Million Dollar Baby and some other millionaires have put an ad in some paper arguing in favour of allowing illegal aliens to have drivers licences. The ad says if “we” let them look after our children and homes why not allow them to drive. I know several people from California and they were all raised by their parents not illegal aliens from Mexico. They even cut their own grass if I’m not mistaken. Just another example of how out of touch these aristocratic-wannabes are. The ad was probably only in Variety so that only those who matter would read it.
