on my radar: and the winner is...


Are the Oscar's really only a couple days away? I'm having a Julie Christie moment and I wish it would go away- I just keep forgetting about them! Dare I suggest that they have become like Montel Williams' show, irrelevant in our time and bound for green acres far from the Kodak Theatre?

Maybe I could blame it on the WGA, damn those gifted folks who had me at hello and then treated me like a losing lottery ticket, tossing me aside for Internet porn residuals; like anybody really scripts those movies! I am no Sean Young, I respect those who craft and create the movies. I didn't heckle nominees at the DGA award, why punish me with a case of indifference so close to show time? What have I done to deserve this?

I am not emotionally numb, I want for more LOST! I (not for those of weaker stomachs to read any further) look forward to my next drink with Lauren and Audrina while we mock Heidi's video! Is it so wrong to be more excitable about opening the Tyramail envelope then caring about a name in an envelope? So where did my love for the academy go?

Can I blame my malaise on Britney? Her hokey-pokie moves at the VMA started the decline of the Hollywood Empire, formally known as award shows season. No, I won't! Do not make fun of those who can not help themselves...where's that hussey Jamie Lynne hiding?


Oh, I feel dirty. I feel like Matthew McConaughy looks on most days- I need a good scrub and a familiar red carpet to reignite my Oscar senses. I feel somehwat unAmerican not having much of an Oscar spirit. I need a dose of bitchy Joan Rivers to get my juices flowing again. I need some really bad dresses and hairstyles to kick it all back in gear! Yes, this award show junkie can still be saved! Throw me a curve ball for Best Actor and I'm hooked again!

ah yes... the award season has been in full swing yet I find myself caring less and less with each passing year. I mean... why must I watch the few and lucky celebrate their glory, only knowing that it furthers my illusions of grandeur to something not completely real?

In other simpler words... I don't really care... however, OSCARS I do care for... sometimes they get it right :)

It is that soon, hey?
I will embarrassingly admit to actually caring about this award show in particular. I have to finish my Oscar nominee film extravaganza soon!

Carrie- So far the award season has left me as limp as two week old lettuce: it might have been different if Amy Winehouse was let loose in Las Vegas for the Grammy's!

But to Princess' point, I have, at least, picked out an outfit to wear Sunday night and will have my ballot completed. I thik a lot has to do with the fact I didn't get to see many of the nominees this year...

So what did you think? I actually enjoyed them last night. I thought it was a great moment when Jon Stewart brought the woman from Once back up on stage to complete her acceptance speech.
