Post-Oscar Observation
Mar. 7th, 2006 07:56 amOkay, everybody has awards, except for films which actually made money. Then again, there weren't many of those this year.
And because there weren't many of those, Hollywood is pretending to be as poor as New Orleans. And this year, instead of "piracy", they're blaming the audience waiting for the DVDs to come out.
This point was made by the president of the Academy of Motion Picture Farts and Scientologists, and repeated at least twice by actors who could stick to the script.
This, of course, was disingenuous in the extreme. There are many films which would have lost money if it weren't for their subsequent release on DVD. There are also many films which require a whole screen to see properly, and to drive that point home, they showed a montage of such spectacular films.
On television. To millions of viewers.
Way to go, drones.
