Oscar Thoughts


My only thoughts on the Oscars are that I wished the winners talked more about the creative process than giving thanks. They ought to treat the moment like film festivals, where the directors and actors get to say a few words about the story behind the film, themselves, their inspiration, something along those lines. For some bizarre reason, it's become this thank-fest and is completely boring. It's too bad Hollywood is so pride-driven that the assistants and managers for the stars need to be thanked for political reasons. In the past couple of years a few folks had good speeches, Soderbergh had a good one, I actually though Sofia Coppola had a good one this year. But for the most part, it just ain't any fun listening to thanks - they could talk for longer about something interesting and we'd stay with them.
