I actually had some interest in watching the awards this time around. But then I found out that Matt wasn't nominated for anything, and early on The Departed had already won for adapted screenplay, so there was little to care about.

Best Actor was the only part I actually saw. When Forrest won I was dancing around the apartment, singing "Fuck you Leo! Yeeaahhh!"

Over lunch, Rush Limbaugh was going on about how the Academy Awards were all elitist and only interested in their own concept of "art" and not what the public was interested in. More specifically, he noted how few top grossing movies win awards, thus showing how out of touch the Academy is with the movie-going public.

Yeah, he's right. The Oscas should just be about which movie has sold the most, and that'll be so exciting we'll need an even bigger ceremony. In fact, the Oscar should jsut go to whoever spends the most money on advertising and promotion.

Critics should not exist, since they can derail a film's earning potential, so they're not fair.

And they're often liberals.

And then we should scrap the Cannes film festival, and the Sundance Festival, since they don't simply reward the biggest grocers.

I also think that whichever company has made the most profit over a year should win the Economic Nobel Prize, while the current President of the US should get the Nobel Peace Prize every year, since he fights for freedom and is elected and stuff.

I saw that film, and it was rubbish. It was not funny, it was not exciting, it long, boring, and predictable. And I love Johnny Depp and Kiera Knightley. not so much the sissy Orlando Bloom, though.

Anyway, great idea from a great man.
