But seriously, how have we the regular people been duped into watching hours of this? Their lives are so much better than ours. They're already getting paid mucho dinero for playing pretend. And then they have the gall to egregiously flaunt it by patting each other on the back. It's like watching the popular kids in high school award the most popular of their bunch for their ultra-popularity.*
Think about this: when award athletes are lauded for admirable annual performance, those athletes are then asked to compete in all-star games. So I say if we have to watch this self-congratulatory snoozefest, how about the nominated actually have to DO something other than sit and look pretty and feign surprise? How about an impromptu contest, where they have to prove their talent (or lack thereof)? As a child of the Seventies, I know just the perfect kind of competition to emulate: Battle of the Network Stars:
Can you imagine them bringing this back for the Oscars???? Fabulous designers could design team competition outfits. Michael Bay could direct the action sequences (you know sh*t would get blown up). And all of the technical award nominees (you know, the ones we never get to see) could design some of the trials. It would be out of this world.
