I used to watch the AA's, have parties, love to predict and talk about it. But now all these people make me sick. I can't STAND the Joan Rivers thing and the clothes and how they look. Maybe I'm getting old, but everytime I think of these overpaid wankers getting more STUFF, I want to puke. There, I said it.

you have it all wrong....we're not here to praise these egomanical fools.we're here to have fun. who's the most pathetic, the ugliest, the most beautiful, most handsome, dumbest, smartest, etc. and what about the clothes. which gown is the sexiest, ugliest, most elegant, sluttiest. and the guys.....who is hot, goofy, etc.

I agree with you. These people are largely overpaid, but influential liberals who help purchase the ongoing misery caused by the liberal agenda in this country. There was a time when Hollywood was just glamour and fame and that crowd stayed respectably out of the mainstream and there were limits of good taste. This has not been true for many long years. These are people who are so puffed up with self-importance that they have no concern for what's real. The women look trashy as all get out with their breasts falling out of their clothes or visible through their clothes. The Academy Awards used to be a family event in front of the television. If I had a young child now, no way would I allow them to watch this glorification of sleaze.

That said, I do plan to watch, but only because I am so enthralled with Lord of the Rings and want to see it do well. Considering the trash it's up against I personally don't see how it could lose, but then we are talking about Hollywood types who probably don't even have the attention span to FOLLOW the story, let alone appreciate it.

Well said, and worth repeating.
