Why I'm skipping the Oscars this year

"I have absolutely zero desire to watch the Oscars. In recent years, lack of quality from Hollywood has turned the Academy Awards into a special-interest-group get-together. If you're crazy, gay, have a disability or are a member of a minority race, you'll likely be nominated for an Oscar; if your film tackles a "deep social issue" (normally an issue dear to the hearts of Hollywood's liberal glitterati), you'll have an excellent shot at grabbing a gold statuette. "

I have to agree with much of what the author of this article says. I'll probably tune in anyway, I'm a sucker for the glitz and the fashion victims.
