So I think there's no interest in watching the ceremony, as we already know which films are really likely to win an Oscar.<br />At least there was 'Mr Hublot' !<br /><br />Anyway, the recent article on Cartoonbrew about the Oscars and animation highlighted how this ceremony can be fake. For those who haven't read this article yet it's right here :<br />http://www.cartoonbrew.com/award-season-focus/definitive-proof-that-academy-voters-are-ignorant-about-animation-96680.html<br /><br />:)Pauline Champetierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13921918460102271888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-14048827093800676942014-03-01T08:09:31.497-05:002014-03-01T08:09:31.497-05:00People think Hollywood is best at making movies. B...People think Hollywood is best at making movies. But the thing Hollywood has always done best i hyping itself. <br /><br />This is just more hype that has nothing to do with the real world, or the role movies play in most people's lives.

Last year was the first time I'd missed the show, mainly due to having given up my TV service the summer before. Fact is, I don't care to watch the Oscars anymore since I rarely see new films now. The folks who currently run the Hollywood studios have forgotten how to make truly entertaining films, and the glaring lack of real colour from their post-production digital meddling just makes me sick to look at these modern mediocrities. I'll stick with watching older films on DVD on my home set-up, thanks just the same, Hollywood!Pete Emsliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01451607722482352366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-23339907581777980772014-02-28T20:28:38.171-05:002014-02-28T20:28:38.171-05:00I've followed the Oscars since I was a kid.

And, as they say, there's no business like it.<br /><br />I'm now a member of this interesting organization. I honestly never thought I would be, but life is full of surprises, isn't it?Floyd Normanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08635960964922892254noreply@blogger.com
