Last Sunday was the annual Oscar ceremony. I don't think there is anybody who didn't hear about what happened. But that is another part of this story. The Oscar, in my opinion is nothing more than a self-congratulatory program where the showbusiness people congratulate themselves for the work they did in moviemaking. One of the things is that the life of some of these movies is shorter than the length of the show was.
Another thing is that this award show covers the year since the last Oscar. With these short life people don't remember movies that came out six to twelve months ago. And a third thing that have no action are not interested by the public. Shorts, foreign movies, romantic movies are not widely accessible in movie houses. They will be on Netflix and YouTube.
As I heard from critics TV viewing was very low at this time. Well, who didn't see it missed the famous slap. That was something not seen frequently on live television. I always thought good actors can keep their emotions in check. I guess I was wrong, or he is not a good actor.
After Will Smith slapped Chris Rock he was given the Oscar for best actor. He came up to the stage (again) and proceeded to give a rambling speech that did not make any sense. Thankfully, shortly after that the show was over.
The best thing would be for good old Oscar is to do it behind closed doors because the public interest is dwindling.
