Oscar

This pandemic shut down this country for about a year now. For a while nothing was happening, nothing was created, nothing was done. Yet, yesterday was Oscar night. They celebrated the movie industry including films and the people involved. Usually, a very nice event.

But, not this time. It was so utterly boring that watching grass grow is by far more exciting. Any of these award ceremonies are nothing more than self adulation of the peoplde involved. The public couldn't care less! 

I used to watch it because it was always interesting see my favorite performers in real life. without the movie makeups. And occasionally there was also fair entertainement within this show. But yesterday's ceremony was something unbelievable. It was held inside of a train station in Los Angeles. I couldn't see any stars I cared about present. There were people sitting at tables and it looked like a zombie convention. People were sitting far apart and the place was very sparsely occupied.

The presenters thought they were funny, but they were not! The acceptance speeches should have been kept by the winners themselves (but this is always the case). The "orchestra" was a dj. It looked like a poorly organized bar mitzvah.

What I found interesting that with this pandemic engulfing the country and the world how and when were they able to make these movies, documentaries, shorts and everything else they covered yesterday?
