Quoted: What? Another narcissistic ritual?
Call me bored, but this whole "Look at how wonderful I am" Hollywood mentality is getting pretty friggin old. It's bad enough that Hollywood has not produced a decent movie in 4 years...but to award themselves at how well they THINK they are is the ultimate in ego trips.
I refuse to watch, support or read about these BS awards. Proper respect should be paid to those serving their country...not boring their country.

With all due respect to those serving our country, I hardly think that the entertainment industry is taking anything away from those in our military serving overseas. Should the American populace just stop "living" while our soldiers are deployed? Would that make those serving feel better about their plight? I'm sorry, but in my opinion, there IS no draft. Those that are serving knew full well what they were getting into, and chose that route.
I respect, admire, and am eternally grateful to our service men and women. THAT BEING SAID, I don't think the rest of the country should stop living life as usual because those servicemen and women are deployed and fighting.
As far as Hollywood award shows, they draw in the largest crowds and viewership of almost any televised event. If people stopped watching them, then perhaps they might stop airing them. I for one, enjoy seeing the stars and the gowns and the tuxedos.
I hardly think it's unpatriotic to enjoy that. The fact that I can then make fun of them the next day is my right, as well.
Again, no offense intended.
