Academy Awards

I am not going to lie, I watched like three categories during the Academy Awards this year. Not only did I get angrier after each and every one of those award categories, but this happens to me every single year. Who the hell votes on this crap? It's obviously some hoity toity assclowns who see's some artsy fartsy piece of trash from some other country and for some reason thinks they have to vote on it. By "artsy fartsy piece of trash" I am referring to the silent French film The Artist which went on to win an outrageous six Academy Awards including best film, best director, and best actor.

First of all, how the hell can something that is an hour and a freaking half of silence be even considered for best picture? I am going to begrudgingly watch this film as soon as possible to see what exactly these idiotic people wet their pants over. I mean, this crap was up against some stiff competition this year. Some films it was up against were Moneyball, War horse, and Hugo just to name a few. I mean come on... I only saw Moneyball and I am willing to bet it is better than that crap. Hell, half the damn population is too lazy to read a newspaper article, you really think they are going to sit down and watch an hour and a half film where they have to read? I have had actual conversations with people who will not watch a movie with subtitles because they "don't want to read." It's quite sad actually. But you are talking to the person who was reading Edgar Allan Poe on the elliptical just hours before writing this. Not only that, arent films based on a bunch of different criteria no a days when it comes to best picture? Where does something like sound editing come into play on this? Obviously I have no idea or I would have a say in the voting process. But I am not an ass nor idiot, so i don't get a vote.

Secondly, how does someone win best actor when it is a silent film? I am being completely serious here. You don't have any f'ing lines... all you really have to do is be a little over dramatic to get the point across. I would kind of compare it to a stage show where someone has to be a little bigger in their role than normal. So in that case, why don't you give this guy a Tony Award too. I mean, this is the first freaking time a silent film has won the Oscar for best picture since 1929. That should tell you something. That is because not on person gives a shit about them anymore.

I am boycotting the Oscars for no on. Not only do good films EVER get recognized, I am tired of these people who vote on the whole process. Just because a movie is in another language doesn't mean it deserves an award. I would say without a doubt in my mind that maybe only five of the last twenty best picture winners actually were the right choice... and I have seen most of the films that were nominated. I mean seriously, Shakespeare in Love over Saving Private Ryan? Are you out of your mind? A Beautiful Mind over Fellowship of the Ring? That is simply outlandish. But The Artist over any of the other nominees... That, my friends, is a fucking crime. At one point the Academy Award meant something to the film community. Now, in my opinion, it is a freaking joke.
