I haven't watched the Oscars since the eighties and have only seen a
few of the nominees. None of them spark my interest, some I
don't want to see at all (i.e. "Milk") but I'll get around to screening the
rest on DVD at some point in the future. Maybe they'll exceed my
expectations.
I'm not part of Hollywood or that crowd or that method of filmmaking.
I am in the film business which is quite large and encompasses many
directors and producers who operate outside of Los Angeles. Since
I'm not part of Hollywood and I'm not partial to their product these days,
I don't have any interest in what they do other than to take advantage
of any niche I can find in the marketplace. I'd rather watch a quirky
indie movie than whatever is screened at a megaplex. So that's my bias
which is why I find these awards shows crashing bores. Listening to
acceptance speeches is like torture on the rack for me.
