Try Again Academy

The Oscars are like Opera.  It’s high brow entertainment.  Good, but disconnected and out of touch with public opinion.  You don’t see movies like ‘The Hangover’ nominated for Best Picture.  Not because they’re awful, but because they aren’t “Oscar” movies.  Most Best Picture winners are about triumph over obstacles and characters that are tested and rise above.  Most movies that do well in this country don’t have much dialogue and have more action than story.

On the other hand, the Oscars have never been about “the best performance as who is more the “Hollywood player”. Who has campaigned and oiled the machine to get noticed by Academy voters and press.  For the industry it seems like the Academy voters view their vote as a vote into a club than a vote for “the best”.  I will say that pertains to the acting categories and best picture nominees.

Academy, America doesn’t get it.  You put ten films up for Best Picture when clearly there are only five front runners (you might as well extend it to 20 next year to include Breaking Dawn).  Your ratings are slipping.  I see the same thing happening to you as the Grammys, a low brow popularity contest with anyone with high sales winning.  I guess Hangover 2 will be nominated next year.

Leave the hosts to one and have someone that can handle a room!  Standouts are:

• Whoopi Goldberg
• Steve Martin
• Alec Baldwin
• Billy Crystal

I would even suggest Oprah Winfrey to host and put her own spin on the telecast.

Please prove me wrong Academy of Motion Picture Sciences.  Remember you’re the Oscars.  Rise Above.

BTW, my best dressed is Miss Halle!!
